[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] GreyToshiaki:
I've been searching for a way to get usb mass storage enabled in Zenfone 3 but most of it through an app. Since it's an app I'm afraid it contain something unwanted like ads or malware.

Since we can get bootloader and root on this device, can we get USB mass storage option too? If possible, without flashing to a custom rom?

Extra question: if I root the device, it is still running in Stock rom right? And after root, I won't be able to get any firmware updates from Asus right?

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] adinechin:
Hi,

As stated in the title, for some apps (for me it's Wordfeud, Gtasks, Slack, but I've searched and seen that other apps can ben concerned, WhatsApp for instance), I do not receive any notifications, until I open the app and discover that there is something new.

How can I solve this ?

Thanks for your help.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] adinechin:
I answer to myself because this solved it in my case :

- go to "Manage apps" (on the launcher, left side zone, choose "Manage apps"

- choose the application you want notifications from

- uncheck "Restrict to launch"
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bodafranus:
You may try disabling Battery Optimization for the selected apps.

Amazing Rom with Magisk support. Got Xtreme music systemless to work. NFC works. Wifi and Cellular work C6833.

Reboot is relatively long and getting sometimes bootloop so need to restart. Had problems with Google Market and Google Play signing in. Just rebooted and tried again and again. Games dont lag like other Nougat builds.

I cant get rid of broadcast messages despite of unticking them in settings. They just keep poping up. Hard work appreciatied:good:

Thanks for this rom, I was reading stuff around xda about how to compile a rom, wanted to try this one, better leave it to the experts for now, anyhow thanks again [MENTION=5970333]markakash[/MENTION] will try it as soon as I make some room for a nandroid backup.

Something about camera. Is working? Quality is like other nougat ROMs, or like in lastest RR ROMs ? Good job [MENTION=5970333]markakash[/MENTION] !

And where is problem in Bluetooth? Is not working, or something other ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pbgapski:
Camera works like other nougat roms and has trouble with focus. Bluetooth FCs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] markakash:
[MENTION=5926368]pbgapski[/MENTION] yeah Camera will be the same on all nougat roms. No new binaries= nothing new. And that Bluetooth fc I stated it above in known bugs. I am kinda having issue with fixing it. It crashes on CAF based roms only like Aosip, RR etc. If someone is willing to help me I would be really grateful. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] FranekOz:
Sorry for off-top. Im tired about try to find solution about damaged proximity sensor. Have anyone żonę tips for distable, or fix IT ? Xposed is not working on nougat... So....

Here's an possible solution

Maybe the solution in that thread will work for Z Ultras, backup your rom first, I'm not responsible if rom breaks or whatever...

[MENTION=5970333]markakash[/MENTION] I'd love to help, but I'm a noob, I do digest awesome amounts of instruction manuals, courses or threads and have free time right now let me know if there something I can do, I think gonna go look for stuff about Bluetooth modules, even if it's just for fun.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] FranekOz:
Yeah, thanks. But I can't see my driver name in hardware distabler. I'm doing everything like in tutorial. But I can't find this. There is lot other names. Damn... :/ I'm giving up slowly

Good work mate, have it running and feels good.

However I have a problem now, the phone no longer charges, I have the unlocked bootloader, the new TWRP, and your rom.

Any idea what could prevent it from charging? Have tried different chargers/cables, no charging indicator at all, no charging led.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] FranekOz:
[MENTION=437606]skygunner[/MENTION] maybe try to flash ROM again ?

I have similar issue, because my battery life is terrible. And when i using phone during charge, I can't charge battery . Looking like not good current enough for charge...

Need Suggestion!

As u all know RR 5.8.3 based on android 7.1.2 has been released. Do you guys want me to update it for you guys without fixing bluetooth? I still dont know how to fix it. And it may take time until I have fixed it.

Please let me know if u want it without bluetooth fix or wait until I try to fix.

I think you can share ROM. And if you want I can help you. But I'm looser in this thread, but I can help how I can.

I still have problem with battery life. My battery going fast empty. And with charger can't charge. Because staying in the same procentage... Maybe 1 %more .

Turning 'on' bands or so it may seem is not really doing anything to the hardware control...the phone will still seek the best signal unless the 2g/3g bands don't work on this ROM (doubt it..they should)

Edit...make a phone call while on LTE data... it will be forced to switch to 3g or h+ 3.5g just for the call which will tell you if the other bands are working or not

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xMasterLuke:
This explains my problems about 5 pages ago... my mobile data provider doesn't offer lte ... my best connection is hsdpa so 3g... and everyone reported working mobile data except me, because everyone else seems to have lte except me. :D

Addition/edit : installed latest RR 20170522

no 3G mobile Data...

I will try the rom for some days ... and will have a look how everything else works.

Good time to do some "mobile data fasting" :)

I can't get deep sleep either. It's weird, Better Battery Stats reports 100% of the time at 300 Mhz under a powermanagerservice kernel wakelock. As I understand it, the powermanagerservice wakelock is the sum of partial wakelocks... yet BBS reports virtually no partial wakelocks. I'd be game to try and block some of the system wakelocks but I can't figure out which are the problem ones. I'm going back to 520 for now.

Testcall

Just did a testcall to my office...

After 7 Minutes off ringing and black display.... with no chance to stop ist (even with reset buttons pressed it wouldnt reboot ) i removed the sim card to get control back.

No 3G, no Proxy Sensor ... makes it very hard to use...

(but cam seems to work normal, except it has very strange picture format)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
NO MOBILE DATA issues....too low call volume yes but no data issues

on latest bootloader (stock LL)

Bootloader unlocked

installed twrp 3.0.2 via fastboot

installed rom

I have a c6806 device

checked and am on LTE band 17 on ATT in U.S here (around my home)

When I make a call it switches to HSPA+ (as 4g/lte devices do usually unless voLTE I think)

I even checked the bands not just what is displayed in status bar

(edit used signal check lite..prefer it to lte discovery....latter works better for stock)

then after the call goes back to LTE

am sure it will pick up LTE band 2 (1900 Mhz) etc when in other areas (around my home the band 17 is the strongest)

EDIT as posted before, proximity sensor works as well

EDIT2 changed some of the mixer.xml values ...now the voice call is better heard and speaker also sounds like speaker...increase these too much and the other caller hears his/her echo (maybe there is some mic gain that can be tweaked for that as ideally would like higher in call volume than what I was able to while avoiding the echo) will post later...

there is black screen after open the camera app. and snap camera fc.

anyone can confirm?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
yes have used that too...signal check lite has a simple interface and have therefore used it (think confused this with the Z3 Tablet compact-on that device, i recall signal check lite not working on stock roms)

anyway not sure why some users are having issues of only LTE...this is NOT the case definitely with this ROM (it gets the available bands)

device, twrp version, bootloader version, lock/unlock all these matter it seems to me to get this working properly

mixer.xml

try this mixer.xml (save the original one just in case you want to revert back) in system/etc folder (put the appropriate permissions)

compare with the original and see as to what values were changed

need to reboot once the file has been changed/updated (voice, voice cfg, handset, speaker-look at those lines-tweaked the values a little (if too much have read that it might damage the hardware...anyway changing like 83 to 88 or even 90 does is ok as the max is 124 on some of these parameters)

changing them too much causes an echo on the call for the person at the other end of the call...think there is some internal mic gain that can be tweaked for higher sound levels

tested my changes using another phone-had to go sufficient distance away from this device with the other phone-in proximity you will hear the echo always

question about external SD card

Hi! First i want to thank you for your amazing work! :D All have worked well it is just that I have some questions regarding storage and external sd card for roms above lollipop. I have an xperia z ultra c6883 and heard that marshmallow and up cant use the external SD card to store apps on. I have a Samsung 64gb micro SD card and also have my twrp on it. When i format the SD card to internal, i cannot use twrp or access it on the computer. Do someone know a solution how i can use my external SD card both as store twrp and apps?

I dont know If this thread is right to post in, sorry if i have posted it wrong. :confused:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
Very strange no proximity issues at all 5/22-24-25 versions not really tested older ones

No LTE/3g back and forth switch issues either...lte in areas with LTE, 3g/h+ during call...switch back to LTE after call...altered Mixer.xml posted earlier to fix volume not still like stock but better..

Think this is also maybe device issue?.. Also need to come off latest bootloader (flash latest stock) I think unlocked of course and twrp 3.02 (did not install dual recovery or do any rooting just stock, unlocked b/L full wipe even internal storage twrp 3.0.2 then the rom)...could be wrong but I suggest that folks having issues should maybe list what device they are using...which one do you have?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChrizRack:
I think, I've got C6833, but cannot verify this (where can I find it?)

I'm using twrp 3.0.2, have unlocked bootloader, done a full wipe.

On CM12.1 everything works like a charm.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zeule:
Guys, seems like our Z Ultra is getting old and some models have proximity issues. It's just a theory, but I see that more and more ppl report proximity issues Try and press realy hard behind proximity sensor and see If the screen lights up. Mine got the issue a while back, at first I thought is a Rom issue, seems like the sensor is getting moved from his original place. I fixed it partialy, this resumes at opening up the phone. When I'll get it working 100% I'll post back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ChrizRack:
In my case IT IS a ROM issue. I switched back to CM 12.1 and sensor works like a charm.

RR 5.8.3

Hey :)

For a few days I tested this rom in version 5.8.3 ~ my observations:

+ The Rom is very nice looking and has a very large possibility of customization (a few options I liked very much, I did not have such on LP),

+ It works quite smoothly and has good performance (but worse than LP),

+ The battery is average but good,

- The phone is warming up, while normal use is warm (like LP while playing), but when playing (eg WoT) the temperature comes to 65-75*C it's so terribly :( ,

- Battery / kernel has bugs ~ once when using with 70% of the battery suddenly stamina switched on, started to flicker the red LED and showed -22% (yes minus 22%) on the graph was 100% - after a few minutes returned to 68% :confused: ,

- It is known that the camera does not have the image as it should, bluetooth does not see the device, the proximity sensor is crazy: P - but that is not a big problem xD

- Performance is not what I would expect - FPS in games is lower than on LP, and the browser and UI sometimes snezzes (Installing this improves it: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317 but the battery is little worse ;/),

I'm looking forward to the next update - I will be happy to test it - it's one of the better Roms on Ultra :)

Regards SkylinerPL =^.^=
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nuketron:
Thank you for your detailed review and thanks to the developer for the hard work. What in your opinion is currently the best rom for Z Ultra?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SkylinerPL:
I have tested many different roms for the Xperia Z Ultra, but I have always returned to HybridRom Concept EditioN V2.0 + advanced kernel 2.5 ~ why ? Because on this rom i have best baterry life and good performance.

HybridRom + Xposed (gravitybox,greenlify and other) = 4,5h SoT (my best score is 5h) ~ in antutu have 58k - he supports multidpi and layers - everything works ~ but its only boring LP :P

That's why I'm looking for something new :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zeule:
For the heating part try reducing heap size to minimum like previously has been said in this thread. For battery, try disabeling useless apps from startup. I dont use greenify, it's kinda stiff for me. So far all good, some heating now and then but a reboot will fix it.

Hi, this is a great ROM, thanks for making it available.

I have done something stupid when installing it and I now cannot enter recovery mode. I had XZDualRecovery installed but I cannot access either recovery.

I have tried everything I can think of and Googled for hours trying to fix this with no success. This includes trying to install alternative custom recoveries using several different methods.

Notification Light Colours

This is likely to be a stupid question but I am having difficulty changing the notification light colours.

I can see that in Settings / Notifications / Click cog in top right / Notification Light; it says chosing colours automatically. Please can someone tell me how do pick the colours manually?

I can do so using Lightflow Legacy but it seems a shame to use an additional app when it looks like the ROM can do it but I am too stupid to work out how.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
thanks Fridam...for some reason the settings crashes whenever I go into security (there are a few other selections in settings that also cause settings crash) I even did a full clean install...factory reset...full clean...installed the LL stock rom from flashtool, did not boot up, directly installed twrp 3.0.2 in fastboot, did full wipe (all 4) in twrp, then installed xosp (tried with two different downloads in case there was an issue with the downloads) are you using the 4-22 or the 5-28 version? Thanks
