My charger to charge the phone could not keep up with RR N. After that, all right :good:. I know I have an old battery but still cm13 day will hold.
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
U mean that your phone cannot last more than a day? If that's the case, then your battery is faulty for sure. My battery is in bad condition too, but the phone can last a day easily with normal usage.
[Xperia Z Android Development] otus:
I already have new batteries and I have to replace it. :D

Any method to downgrade to KitKat or lolypop???

The ROM is perfect but i need xpossed

Enviado desde mi Xperia Z mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
Just flash a kitkat or lollipop based rom :p (u might need to flash kernel through bootloader)

In case u want to go back to stock i think u need to flash older kernel first before flashing stock rom. Search a bit in Xperia Z forum and u will find i guide for sure about that.

I miss xposed too..
[Xperia Z Android Development] dpradaza:
I want to ask if Xposed will work in this rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tejas_kesaria:
Read through the thread before posting such questions. Xposed is not available for any Nougat roms as it is under development

I'm unable to install apps using playstore through mobile data.. I'm on data roaming.. All internet settings are correct... Apps are installing using wifi. Any workaround?
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
That's weird..

You mean playstore cannot connect at all when u are on mobile data? Or you just cannot install? What error are you getting?

Try flashing latest gapps and see if that helps you out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Sammy612:

Sorry if I sound slow or anything but my friend has an unrooted xperia z on 5.1.1 . I unlocked the bootloader but I never seem to reach the recovery mode. No led light or anything on pressing power and vol down button. Anyone knows any solution? I am using RR on some phone and he also want to install it but recovery never shows up anyhow.

Please guide me if anyone has a solution.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dpradaza:
Is there any way to remove the google thing on homescreen? I've searched through the settings but didn't find it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dpradaza:
if you already UNLOCKED the bootloader. flash a KERNEL with TWRP or CWM. then flash the rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] raviprakashji:
But I can't get to recovery mode. What other method do I use to flash the kernel and twrp?

Download the RR rom or any rom u like, and extract boot.img file. Then boot into bootloader and flash boot.img (search how to do that if u dont know). After this step u should be able to boot into recovery of your rom.

[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
Turn off the phone, then hold Volume Up button and connect usb. Blue led should light up and now u are in fastboot mode. You can check if your phone is recognized by your pc with the "fastboot devices" command through adb.
[Xperia Z Android Development] raviprakashji:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Sammy612:
How to increase the volume on earphones and speaker its too low..?? :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] dpradaza:
Flash a kernel via Flashtool. In fastboot mode. Search for it on how to do it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] raviprakashji:
Everyone says search it and I am now sure no one has done it on lollipop.

Everyone is shooting blanks.
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
You don't need a recovery to flash a kernel. All you have to do is to follow the procedure i described some posts above. Once you are in fastboot mode, extract the boot.img from your desired rom and follow this How to flash a boot.img via fastboot

Once you are done you should be able to boot into the recovery of the kernel you just flashed. Be sure that the boot.img file is for your phone and it is in the same folder from where you start your adb commands and that the kernel you are flashing includes a custom recovery (most customs roms if not all include one i think).

From there you can flash the rom (u should already have uploaded it in your sd memory, unless u flash with sideload, which is another senario).

Hope i helped.

[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:

I agree with u.. I becomes too hot sometimes even with normal usage And i also get a bit of animation lags sometimes. I clean installed 2 times.. Still the same..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tabik:
Yes, even just reading news on the web (I use Google Chrome) or using XDA app, device sometimes randomly become hot and heavy lag on typing or swiping interface between apps. I checked via Kernel Adiutor, the temperature of CPU gaining to 72.0 celcius and battery was 45.0 celcius.

Mine too - random heat up. Sometimes good for a week and then it will start to roast so I put it in the freezer for 5 mins. No obvious cause. I run Coolify app which is useful but does not stop these occasional events.
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
I haven't experienced any of these issues..i don't play games but i use it as my primary phone, meaning that i swap a lot between apps, messing with substratum themes :) downloading, browsing, making calls etc. and i got no annoying lag or heat up.

Maybe u guys can try a kernel manager to see if it helps.

Another thing mentioned, when i use the app fastergps (an app with root rights that updates your gps.conf file according to your local needed gps settings) while it says that file is edited successfully, when i restart the app all settings are restored to default again (looks like the edited file was not saved or restored to default somehow). Any help on this?

I found another bug, I think.

Whenever I am at work I get a lot of random reboots but at home I do not have any. I guess the difference between home and work is that at home I have a good network coverage and good WiFi. At work I have nearly no network signal and the WiFi quality is also quite poor, most if the time changing the router I am connected to. The only explanation I have is that this causes the reboots. Could that be possible? Any ideas how I could fix that?

Still the best custom ROM I have had so far! Great work!

Minor shortcomings.

In the multitasking menu is not displayed Boat browser. Included, but not on the lockscreen pulse, in the navigation menu is displayed. It showed once and disappeared. Installed ARISE.

Randomly locks the screen during operation.

If running the Pixel, it uses about 800 MB of RAM if Nova - 500.

In continuation to my download. I downloaded all the same file and gapps again, checked md5 - it was all true. But after the initial setup of an one hour it was a network setup, and I brought backup. This is the second day. Tell me, can this be due to a problem with the operator? Network icon there, H +, too, have (c6602), but does not complete the network setup - writes that it may take 1-2 minutes, and so on indefinitely. This is only on this assembly even gapps, which installed the previous assembly. Please help me solve the problem.

I been using the stable 20170202 version of this rom on my Xperia Z and whenever I connect it to the bluetooth in the car and I get a phone call, it freezes when I try to answer it and eventually the phone reboots itself because it completely locks up, sometimes it works but very rarely.

With my Lumia 650 the bluetooth connection is far smoother and instant, not sure why it is so slow on the Xperia Z the 5.1.1 was dreadfully slow when it came to bluetooth but at least it was reliable and worked.

[Xperia Z Android Development] CoolRaoul:
Sorry to jump in, I'm totally new here. How I'm supposed to do this?

Although I'm used to flash Nexus devices, Sony Xperia range is mystery for me.

My goal is to install alternative ROM (this one seem to be a good candidate) on a freshly bootloader unlocked Xperia Z.

"fastboot reboot recovery" just does a normal system reboot.

It seem that, for Sony device, the recovery has to be included in the bootloader kernel.

But to install a recovery I need to have already a "recovery capable" kernel already installed.

Pretty much looks like a chicken and egg problem. Could somebody point me to a step by step (preferably "brickproof") method to install this ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
Download the rom and extract boot.img file. This is the kernel of the rom that should include a recovery, unless the rom hasn't one, and u should flash it with the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command. I hope u are familiar with adb and fastboot commands, if not try to find a guide about how to flash a boot.img. Once u are done flashing the kernel, u should be able now to reboot into the rom's recovery with the command that u mentioned in your post or by restarting the phone and press the Vol + button once your led blinks pink (color may vary for each recovery :) ). Once you are into recovery you can flash the rom.zip that you downloaded. Try not to flash kernel from a different rom that u are flashing, unless u know that this kernel is compatible with the rom. Also you can install the recovery into your fota partition, so that your recovery is not changed everytime u install a different rom, since every custom rom uses a different recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] CoolRaoul:
This was the "egg" I was looking for :good:

Device is now rebooting using new ROM.

Thanks for helping

(BTW I think that those instructions should be in the first post of the thread)

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Sorry, I dont' undestand this part (what is a "fota partition"? specific Xperia stuff I guess)
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
I quote from the official twrp site:

"The Xperia devices have a recovery-in-boot arrangement. This means that the recovery is booted using the regular kernel / boot image in the device. Team Win has worked with the FreeXperia device maintainers to come up with a way to extract the ramdisk from the FOTAKernel partition and use the ramdisk from that partition instead of the recovery that is included in the boot image of your device. This means that if you install current CM nightlies and flash TWRP to the FOTAKernel partition, you will be able to use TWRP instead of the CWM or CM recovery that normally comes in a CM boot image."

So, in short, if you want your recovery not be replaced by the rom's default recovery every time you flash a rom, you can flash the recovery into the fota kernel, so your recovery remains untouched whenever you flash a rom. I use TWRP latest version, so these instructions are for this recovery. You can find more info in the above link.

In order to flash the recovery to your fota kernel:

Download the latest twrp image file (.img). Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to "twrp.img". Run the following commands via adb shell or a terminal emulator app:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] CoolRaoul:
I had already read that (without understanding a lot I confess)

:(

Thanks for helping BTW, unfortunately I'me afraid being too dumb in this area, in particular my ignorance about what a "FOTAKernel" is is pretty much similar to my understanding of a "FOTA Partition"

Anyway, maybe I do'nt need, I could apply the "dd" method, even if I don't understand whats it does under the hoods.

I've one remaining question about this ROM: can someone clarify if OTA updates are not currently implemented (although specified in "settings" -> "about phone" -> "about" -> "features" -> "miscellaneous") or that have I missed something (I've saw that someone raised the subject in the thread but he didn't received a clear answer)
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
It's simple, if you follow these steps, your recovery will always remain the same, no matter what rom you install it won't be replaced by the rom's default recovery. Some people like it, some don't care, it's up to you.

About OTA, there is an option inside settings to check for updates, but to be honest i have never used it to update, i do that by manually flashing thw new build.

You can find this option by pressing the + symbol (bottom right corner) inside the configuration menu in settings.

Probably linked to an Tasker routine I've installed to save battery by testing cell signal strength - this turns off data and/or cellphone when signal is very low. Maybe not good to use when travelling :eek:
