[Unlocked Bootloader][4.3][ROM] Tweaked 569 Stock Rom With AOSP Feel V3 [Jan18]

[Unlocked Bootloader][4.3][ROM] Tweaked 569 Stock Rom With AOSP Feel V3 [Jan18] - Xperia Z Android Development

This is a tweaked versions of 10.4.B.0.569 Official ROM. As it includes a Kernel with Philz Touch CWM the Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Changes Made:
Fully Deodexed/Busybox/Rooted. To odexed rom flash this.
Added Nova launcher, AOSP Keyboard and AOSP Browser to give the ROM a more AOSP feel. (Sony Launcher and Keyboard still included.)
Xposed & GravityBox included to help get a AOSP look.
Replaced the default kernel with [Yuga][.569 Stock kernel][UB][CWM Advanced Edition][PhilZ Touch] by shoey63.
Added BeatsAudio and ViPER4Android.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
Know bugs
On first boot the phone will freeze and reboot. When it reboots you will see an error image then the screen will go black. Don't worry, it is booting but you won't be able to see the bootup animation. This will only happen once and will boot normally afterwards.
V4A XHiFi will only work with the Walkman app when you select "FX Compatible Mode" in the options. For any other music players select "Normal" in the FX Compatible Mode settings menu. Can take up to 5secs before it kicks in.
In Philz Touch CWM go to "PhilZ Settings" and turn off "Verify Root on Exit". This will prevent Busybox from getting deleted. If you didn't do this and Busybox got deleted the version you want to install is V1.20, not the latest version. The latest version doesn't work with the Flashhex script I included.
Any more issues please report them.

Um, since you added nova launcher, did you remove the main xperia launcher?
If you didn't remove it, would it be better if I were to freeze the launcher myself using titanium backup? Cause having two launcher would significantly drain the battery life.
Do I have to install the supercharger script upon the first boot via terminal emulator or will it automatically install?
Also, did you tweak the build.prop to smoothness & battery saving or should I do it myself? #edit: opps sorry, i missed out ur last point. lol

I covered everything you want to know in the main post.
Not a lot of feedback on this ROM. Thought I would of got a few comments by now. Pretty new to the Xperia Z Development but find it hard to believe it's this dead. The Nook HD+ forum seems to be more active and has less users..

Nah, its just that people in Xperia Z is relatively slow to changes. People in this forum would rather stick with development that has great amount of views, replies and so on. e.g: look at existen, within few hours theres a page of comment. Also, unless you provide a fancy features with great screenshot, they don't feel like giving a shot at all. But if I must say, our development is pretty much dead compare to others.

Ok, if you want some feedback...
I think people are enjoying the official 4.3 by Sony, and I cannot see enough improvements in your rom, but instead it has some drawbacks like being deodexed, beatsaudio, which is not for everyone, and some bloatware here and there. Why flash a new rom when I could manually install the 2 or 3 things I like?
Also, aosp looking roms don't have much success here, if we'd like it we would have bought a cheap nexus phone. There is a thread about Android UI vs Sony UI, and most people don't give a sh** about pure Android.
No offense, just an opinion.

I guess this is a good rom for those who wants to have aosp/cm but is stuck on locked bootloader.

I though this too, but then I realised this is for unlocked bootloader only.

At least to me, the script included in this rom is something new. In fact, I see it as improvement.
Would suggest to other who tried to rom to freeze the xperia home launcher (if they prefer AOSP look) to save some battery juice though.
If its too bloated, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350442
Otherwise if you have the knowledge, just remove bloated apps yourself.

The problem is that, the script will only work with certain version of busybox which the kernel (shoey63) provided. In fact, to flash the custom kernel you have to unlocked your bootloader.
Also, from what I've seen, the script does not WORK fully (maybe partly) as the script is used to optimize old phones with single/duo-core specs. With our Xperia Z specification, the script practically did a little or less. Other than that, the rom does provide as to what it claimed.
I may be wrong, i'm not entirely sure.

This should work with locked bootloaders. It will come up with an error at the end of the install when it trys to install the kernel.
All you need to do is flash the ROM then use Flashtool to flash 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf
http://d-h.st/SLc
I haven't tested this but I can't see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as you flash a 10.4.B.0.569 kernel with Flashtool.

Updated ROM.

Limks up and working.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install HOWTO:
1. Flashing the ROM
1.1 Preparing for flashing
- go to recovery
- wipe /cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats
- flashing this over mik's v6.5.x/6.6.x ROM without wiping /data should work without any problems.
- for any other non-CM7.1 ROM, wiping /data (factory reset) IS required (see FAQ and do not ask retarded questions)
1.2 Flashing the ZIP
- CWM should work just fine
- TWRP - works just fine if you disable signature verification (bug reported quite a few days ago)
- AmonRA - totally untested, definitely disable signature verification, if it does not work, try one of the above.
Quote:
Do not post lame questions about failed signature verification here!!!
1.3 First boot and initial setup
- reboot from recovery
- WAIT! Really, just WAIT!!! Even if it takes 10 minutes, there is no bootloop. Also, as long as the bootanimation is moving, the phone is NOT frozen and is busy populating the dalvik cache etc. Absolutely no need to pull the battery in that case! Once again, WAIT!
- In case you are flashing on a clean phone (/data wiped), you will get the initial setup wizard. If you want to change your language, do it. Tap on the Android picture. Either complete the wizard or skip it. I suggest skipping it, you can add your Google account and set it up just fine after all the setup is finished by tapping on the Market icon.
Quote:
IMPORTANT NOTE: In case you get some lame popup before the initial Android screen asking you to choose between something like "com.google.provisioning" and Setup Wizard, choose the topmost item, do NOT check the checkbox. (It is impossible to take a screenshot of that, so it is NOT shown below.) Follow the prompts. Again, suggest skipping the wizard as soon as possible.
2. Theming the ROM for dummies (picture guide):
2.1 - Lockscreen
After you have finished/skipped the setup wizard, your screen should look like on Picture 1. Go to Settings - CyanogenMod - LockScreen - Style Options. Select Lense as LockscreenStyle and check the Hide rotary arrows. Press Back a couple of times to get back to home screen.
2.2 Wallpaper and status bar transparency - part 1
Hold your finger on the home screen for a while. Select Wallpapers from menu. From the next menu, select Live wallpapers. From the next menu, select MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. On next screen, tap on Settings, go to Common Settings - Picture Source. From the popup menu, choose either Single Picture or Picture Folder. On the prompt, do not forget to check "Use by default for this actions" and tap on MIUI Gallery. Go to wallpapers folder, choose a wallpaper, duh! Press back several times until you get back to the Set wallpaper screen. Tap on Set wallpaper. You are back to your homescreen.
Looks better now, huh? :lol:
2.3 Choosing the theme
Tap the home icon - in the app drawer list until you find Theme Chooser (on the last screen), tap the icon. Tap on Apply button under the MIUI theme. Back to home screen, note the icons in status bar are now changed.
2.4 Status bar transparency - part 2
NOTE: Sorry, this part IS sadly required, I cannot include the patched SystemUI.apk in the ROM, because otherwise there is never any status bar, LOL. Also it causes quite a bit of trouble with the initial setup wizard. NFC. Do not ask me why.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finishing up!!! Press the power button, choose Reboot - Recovery - OK. Wow, the phone rebooted and you are now in recovery! Go to flash ZIP menu, browse to MIUIGEN71/themes/transparent folder and flash the statusbar_patch.zip!
Reboot.
2.5 Finished!!!
NOTE: If you ever get bored by the transparent MIUI theme, you can undo the patch by flashing MIUIGEN71/themes/nontransparent/statusbar_undo.zip from recovery and use any CM7 theme with this ROM. (A black MIUI theme with non-transparent status bar attached here. To revert to the original transparent theme bundled with the ROM, download the transparent theme and do not forget to flash MIUIGEN71/themes/transparent/statusbar_patch.zip from recovery.)
FAQ:
Q: Can I use this with the new baseband?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT!
Q: Not even with the mik's patch?! Will data work with that?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT!
Q: Are you planning to add support for new baseband?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT! It will be supported when/if mik's ROM supports it. I will NOT do anything about baseband.
Q: But... that sucks! I do not want to downgrade baseband?
A: Go use another ROM, such as the stock LG ****! Do not bother asking on this thread about baseband.
Q: Can I flash this over mik's v6.5.x/6.6.x ROM without wiping /data?
A: Yes, it should work without any problems.
Q: Can I flash this over stock ROM, GingerLOL or whatnot else without wiping /data?
A: NO! Do not bother with complaining about crashes and broken things if you do.
Q: Why franco kernel v1.1-24082011? It is unstable for me, I have random crashed, freezes, reboots, battery drains and it even drinks all beer in my fridge overnight!?!
A: Because the kernel works perfectly fine for me. If you get the stuff above, wipe everything (/data, /cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats), tune down your crazy OC (no, this phone will NOT work @1GHz) and enjoy your fast clean stable ROM with great performance!
Q: I still have kernel problems even after a clean flash? What now?
A: Feel free to flash any other franco 2.6.35 kernel if it works better for you. You can report bugs in latest kernel version to franco on his thread. IMPORTANT: Do NOT bother with reporting issues if you are too lazy to provide useful information about your CPU freqs, governor settings, provide logcat etc. and the only thing you plan to do is moaning about crashes, drains etc.
Q: I am having black screen/split screen bug!!! T3h suxxxx!
A: Sucks to be you, I do not have any such problem. Otherwise, turn off the CRT animation (who needs such stuff). If you get a blackscreen, please stop locking/unlocking the screen like mad every one second. Wait a few seconds at least. Also, there is no need to pull the battery or damage the power button by pressing it zillion times, just touch the screen.
Q: I am having battery drain! The ROM and kernel are horrible!
A: No, the junk you have installed is horrible. Grab BetterBatteryStats, find the offending crap and uninstall it.
Q: Battery life still suxxx! Only will last 3 days!
A: Go get a Nokia 5110.
Q: How can I switch to those other bootanimations that are included?
A: Run terminal emulator, then do this:
Code:
$ su
# selectbootanim
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: How can I test the bootanimation without rebooting?
A: Use adb:
Code:
> adb shell bootanimation
Press CTRL+C to terminate it.
Q: When I mount the phone to my PC, the wallpaper I set from SD card gets lost from my home screen/lock screen!
A: Nothing I could do about it. Normally, /sdcard can only be mounted once. When you use the phone as mass storage, it gets unmounted from the phone. Go complain to Google.
Q: But it sucks! I have my phone connected and mounted to PC for the whole day, using it as a thumbstick for playing my p0rn collection!
A: Buy a USB stick for like $10. This is a phone, not a storage for your PC. Or grab something like Root Toolbox from the market and try the dual-mount feature there instead.
Q: When I boot the phone, it takes some time before the background picture appears.
A: It takes a while to get the SD card partition mounted to phone. Go complain to Google.
Q: What are those sysro/sysrw scripts good for?
A: As the name suggests, to remount your system read-only/read-write.
Q: How to I use them?
A: Duh, use the terminal, luke!
Code:
$ su
# sysrw
... (do whatever you want now with files under /system)
# sysro
# exit
$
Q: What is nano?
A: A console-based text editor. If you do not know what it means, you do not use it. RTFM!
Q: How do I set the WiFi Tx power so that it does not needlessly drain battery?
A: Use /system/etc/setwifi.sh script. It sets the value to 20dBm.
Q: Can I change that value?
A: Yes, edit the script. (See nano above.)
Q: Could you include my cool 99zomgmakemyphoneflylikehellubercool tweak?
A: No, sorry. I only include reasonable stuff. This ROM and kernel have excellent performance without any tweaks. Flash those yourself and do not bother with reporting resulting issues here. Will NOT fix them.

So now this ROM is available for our phones too. Good.

Well... This rom have plenty of bugs, and sadly the original developer of this rom is too stubborn to even admit the existance of it...
I think the bugs comes from the mix of having a very very unstable kernel with very awful known bugs and the use of crappy apks which replaces the old good functional apks for only the looks...
Promising stability is impossible.
Bugs I had when I used this... for a month:
(I DID NOT: Overclock, install other tweaks than transparent taskbar)
-Weird battery behaviour (sometimes lasted up to 2 days!; in the worst, just a night)
-Installed apps gets deleted from the menu (but installed in the system, worthless since you cannot access to the app but still uses the memory)
-When the rom gets buggy, it restarts itself with the screen issue... fixed easily, putting the phone to sleep and in the wake, the screen looks normal.
(but the restarting thing was loopy... restarted the phone itself w/o doing nothing for half an hour... I had to pull off the battery and wait some time...)
-The screen resolution was weird also... for some reason the apps looked with less space and for some apps it messed up the original look (like zombiebooth, no big deal tho)
-Buggy Videorecording/ photo taking (problems with the app, and with the codecs of the videos recorded with the cam...)
-The Compass was totally off... (no big deal for me tho, but it's a bug)
-Glitchy look for some apps (like FriendCaster, I read before that it was a bug because of some setting of the kernel... but it's a present bug anyway)
This is not acceptable for calling a rom Stable, the only dealbreakers was the restarting stuff and the battery behaviour, because sometimes I needed the phone and it was dead or looping...

Personally if this is Drnotor's rom, there is no problem with me for overclocking or apps. I put dartktremor's app2sd, no problem. With the ungaze's one, not working to update the kernel. Yes there is a bug with the camera, it hangs, there is this option of blast shot or something, whatever. I select this option and then it works fine. I did clean install, then titanium backup, and I stick with the 240811 kernel as the next one did me fast burning battery on 3G. I do many internet and pandora radio and no games. Before this rom I was on void#forever, now I'll wait for andy's rom, but I don't know why people would have a problem with this rom. It's as good as any other, wifi thethering work, usb i don't know but it's enough for me.
Good battery, overclocking available, fast rom, so far so good.

This ROM works well.
Most of the bugs you mention belong to the kernel (if you read the FAQ you'll see that it mentions something like this, "If problems persist try another version of the kernel"). The compass works fine if you've successfully calibrated your. If you did not work, I can only think that your compass is bad and take your phone to a service technician to review it.
If you still continue with "your" problems then you should go to the forum of dr.notor and report back all this, as seeing who is in charge of the subject's ROM here at XDA (no offense) I do not think that this topic be successful...
Off Topic
Sorry if I respond aggressively but I'm tired of seeing every issue of this section of developers (yes, I am not a developer but as I have space to say) many response where blame the people who make these great Kernels or ROM's, without given the time to figure out that **** is for the problem they have, and always the most problems come from users themselves and not the people who develop these things ...

P.S. I don't know how sweattami got to hold this thread, however personally I'd like to see a Thanks to Drnotor in the first post, he did put the rom together after all.

- You tell me....
INSTALLATION
1. Make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM,
2. Download the flashable .zip file you want below,
3. Reboot into clockwork mod recovery,
4. You must flash the XXLQ1 ICS firmware via ODIN/Heimdall before flashing this ROM! Also, a data wipe is strongly recommended before flashing Thanks.
5. Flash the ROM zip in recovery, following the prompts in the AROMA installer (NOTE: on the custom install menu you need to use the volume keys to scroll up and down, working on this...),
6. Let it boot up and then go through the setup wizard,
7. Let the widgets load up and things settle, sync., etc.,
8. Enjoy, and please post bugs in the thread, if any ( "XDA App keeps force closing" is NOT a bug....).
9. If you like the ROM, please hit the thanks button....!

PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM will flash the modem.bin from the ATO firmware. This should not be an issue for users, but I just want you to know...I have it in there for beta testing purposes, and will remove in future releases...
If you use tegrak or some other over-clocking app, or if you restore data with Titanium Backup, please do not post bugs you may have when using those programs. The same goes for restoring system data via Titanium Backup. I cannot debug issues arising from their use.
Thanks/Credits
lowtraxx for helping me with the broken fonts issue...
More to come...
WARNING/DISCLAIMER
As with all custom ROMs, you flash the ROM and any other items linked to in this post or the remainder of this thread at your own risk. I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your phone, others or you as a result of flashing this ROM.

Change Log
Version 3.0--->Version 5.0
[*Initial Release of ICS Version
Version 2.0--->Version 3.0
Went back to XXLA4 base, completely rebuilt, with all apks optimized;
Removed CPU rendering, full GPU rendering;
Added some init.d tweaks to increase ext4 I/O speed,
revamped RAM, priorities, handler and vm tweaks;
incrased sdcard readahead to 2048,
added modded stock launcher from 10.1 that has also been optimized (still not as smooth as TW launcher, IMHO), with smali code altered to work with sqlite version in the firmware;
added back memo and a couple of other apps (Kies, etc.) to lite base;
Other dorky stuff I am sure I forgot...
Final v 1-->version 2.0
Completely rebuilt from newest official firmware DXBL3;
Only one version available (should work over all firmware, but see "Please Note" in OP). This is a "Lite Version";
Made Samsung App flashable zip available for those who want full ROM;
Working HideBar App;
Increased free memory in supercharger script;
Removed TCP tweaks from build.prop;
Redid allanimations in framework and launcher to increase speed/smoothness and reduce lag;
Probably a lot more I forgot...
RC3-->Final
De-symlinked system/app and data/app_s;
Added noatime flash memory tweaks;
added drop caches script to (hopefully) reduce lag in homescreen;
Messed with the animations a bit to speed them up;
More optimizations of Samsung TW apks to at least make them work better (wish I could get rid of them...);
Minor speed and battery tweaks;
More I am sure I forgot...
RC2-->RC3
Changed kernel flash method to improve (hopefully solve) problems with flashing onto some stock firmware;
Fixed app drawer background;
removed some init.d scripts I felt were extraneous;
Speed tweaks (let me know)...
RC1-->RC2
Fixed issue in kernel flash that (I hope) was preventing some users phone to force close/bootloop on startup;
Fixed issues with some apps and games crashing (again,..);
Symlinked /system/app/ to /data/app/ to offload some data on the system partition;
Moved some apps to /data/app so they can be uninstalled;
Adjusted the RAM script settings to be less aggressive, but hopefully just as effective;
tweaked VM settings;
removed some init.d scripts I felt were not adding all that much (make things simpler);
further tinkering with framework to smooth out TW interface. I find that the only noticeable lag now is after closing out a program, there is a fraction of a secon of lag when switching home screens. I hope to remove this by the final release...

Removed Apps & Extras
List of Removed Apps
Again, these can be re-added with the "SamsungApps.zip" in the OP,a will be an option in AROMA next version...
Kies
MobilePrint
Samsung Apps

This will be great
Thanks button for you even I had not yet flash it

Thanks Steve . Been waiting for this

Downloading ...

I will be testing this but I need a copy of a DXLA2 modem to make my own testing consistent vs a purely stock ROM, I dont want the modem file to cause excessive battery drains or what not, I have the single DXLA2 tar file for my P6800 inside it has a file labelled modem.bin can i safely flash that using Odin after I flash to this custom rom ?

Flashed. Smooth and bug-free so far - definitely a step up from the stock. A big thumbs up for the OP
Am eagerly waiting for theme tweaks in particular to the taskbar.

Hi,
Just wondering if you are you planning to do a wifi only (6180) version. There seems to be a lack of love for the non GSM Radio 7.7's out there with not a single rom in the forum.
Thanks a lot.

I think someone is working on one (well, I know he is, but not sure what his plans are for release). I will ask him what's up and then port this ROM if he is not planning on releasing it. It would be better, clearly if someone with the device were to release a ROM for it...
Steve

New DL Link
BTW, I am uploading the ROM to a new site now, PLEASE do not post mirror links of the ROM, as I like to keep track of its traffic...thanks! It will be back up shortly...
Steve

very nice rom, 10x better then stock (hk version) thank you!! Even TW looks lagless.

I got the 6810 first had it a week. Sent it back for 80 dollars more. I decided to get 3g version. Just to have 3g and phone option. I also remember development on orginal tab was most for the 3g version. My advice spend the extra doe.

Thank you for the effort. I tried this ROM with a factory reset. I get an FC on android.phone as soon as it boots, and that causes a reboot. I tried to reflash but it did not work. I am using the 3g international version from Dubai.

I flashed it last night on a 3G 16Gb and performance is noticably better. However one bug - when playing Reckless Racing 2 the game continually pauses itself. It's not dirt on the screen causing it and a reboot didnt help. It doesnt seem to impact any other apps.
Can someone else running this rom please test on Reckless Racing 2? It happens a few times per race.

Hmmm...try wiping everything, data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache, battery stats, etc. The script should do this for you, but maybe something went awry...
If that doesn't work, try redownloading the zip. Finally, PM me, and we can see if we can sort it out...

So the game is actually pausing itself or freezing up. Sorry, just want to be clear. I can run a logcat on this one...as long as the game looks fun.....

Click thanks if you like my ROM - Please leave feedback too! - Please donate if you can! My ROM development is so hard as I only have an Arc which is broken! The touch screen is faulty in places so if you donate I can test more and make many more stuff for you all!

Is all bloatware deleted? All Sony applications like Play golf or play now or like that? All ROM GB I find have lot of useless applications and I've no more space for my applications!

This ROM is pure speed and nothing special. It has the normal music player. Its basic excluding battery percentage and quick toggles. You can then install add-ons to make it unique for you

thanks! i am curious so i tried installing this, but i wasn't successful. i put doomkernel v22, format data/cache/dalvik, and installed the rom.
however after the progress bar gets filled, its just hanged (see attached pic).
long press on the power restores control back in CWM main menu, and i did format data/cache/dalvik again, then finally reboot.
after that, the phone just remains hanged on the doomkernel logo.
EDIT : i tried Xperia Plus Version 9, and the same issue happens. just for isolation i tried reinstall arconium 8.2 and it installs without that problem.
any suggestion?

[GUIDE] kk 4.4 early stage guide | please read before posting in kk rom threads

************************************************** ***************************************************
Early stage guide for Kit Kat 4.4 | Please read before posting in Kit Kat ROM threads
************************************************** ***************************************************
Hi there,
As we get more and more Kit Kat ROMs I've decided to create this thread. In every ROM thread, the same questions are asked so I think it would be useful to collect the most important questions into a central location so the other threads don’t become tedious and difficult to read. If I forgot something or you have any suggestions, please let me know.
@moderators
If I'm in the wrong section please move my thread.
If there is a similar thread (I didn't find one) please close this one.
UPDATE: kk 4.4 factory image out now
hangouts and messaging are in. the normal email app is in too. Don't know if it's the aosp one.
for new google launcher:
1. Google Search http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...y-fixes-gel-on-tablets-and-more-apk-download/
2. Experience Launcher http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/
Install in this order the goto 16
after that it looks like the n5 port.
1. Features
All currently available builds are in an early state. This means that a lot of the customization you had in 4.3 ROMs are not available at the moment. The devs are working on it.
2. What isn’t working in all 4.4 ROMs
Binaries released. So everything should working.
3. Dalvik Runtime and ART
A new feature has been implemented in Kit Kat called ART (Android Runtime). What is it? Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516303
credits to: @freebordjunky
4. Which one should I choose?
It's your own decision! ART is faster than Dalvik from my personal experience. You can switch between runtimes:
settings -> developer options -> select runtime
5. Does ART have any requirements?
Yes. Two important things you should notice:
a.)
If you switch to ART you have to reboot. During the reboot, your device switches from using Dalvik Runtime to ART. This may take a while.
IMPORTANT
You may have a lot FC 's in GAPPS. Why? This happens when you have flashed the wrong GAPPS package. To work properly you have to flash an Odex GAPPS package. You will find this here from @#gnome: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508185
If you want to know more about odex and deodex - ask google
b.)
Some apps are still not working on ART and no known workaround is available. Three apps that I know of are Foursquare, Whatsapp and Titanium Backup (tested 6.10).
WhatsApp Workaround credits to @luiseteyo :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527879
6. GAPPS packages
There are different packages available. It’s all up to preference.
Deodex
1. AOSP launcher and stock Messaging
2. Google Experience Launcher and Hangouts for SMS
Odex (ART)
1. AOSP launcher and stock Messaging
2. Google Experience Launcher and Hangouts for SMS
7. Is this faster than…
Sorry guys. How do I score this? Every configuration is different and so often there are individual experiences so... try, try, try until you find the right one for you.
8. Custom kernels
Binaries released. So kernels will come.
IMPORTANT
If you have screen issues, flash the CM colorfix. It's available here on xda, just use search.
9. SMS & Hangouts
To import SMS from other ROMs, first restore messages using TiBu or SMS Backup & Restore to the AOSP Messaging app. After this you can activate Hangouts as the default SMS app. It should then import your messages. Maybe it's necessary to clear hangout's cache after that.
10. Factory images and binaries
Released
11. Errors during flashing
If you got errors during flashing you have to try another custom recovery. In TWRP there were some problems with version 2.6.3. Upgrade to the latest version (2.6.3.2) to get rid of the errors.
TWRP here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako
12. Is Viper audio working?
Yes. It may be necessary to uninstall musicfx and / or dsp manager.
Please use chainfire's supersu for viper audio. You have to enable compatible mode in viper.
13. Icons are big
You can change this via build.prop editor. Edit this entry: ro.sf.lcd_density
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nathan.jf.build.prop.editor
14. Enable Google Now
Press long and hold on a free area on your homescreen.Select Settings and enable Google Now
15. Dalvik Optimization
From Moto X device extracted dalvik optimization binaries. It will increase speed.

I hope this helps all of you out there and cleans up the threads a little bit.

I have disconnect bluetooth issues when streaming in the car. Pebble keeps reconnecting every 15 mins or so. I live on bluetooth because of these two things. In every 4.4 port/rom, it's the same missing libs IMO. So no go for me for now. I am getting a N5, in a few weeks, but wanted to check out KK. Other than the BT issue, the port is a great port! Smooth, and launcher works perfectly! But because of my need of BT I have revered back to my PA 3.99 since last night and BT connection hasn't discoed at all since then.

Thank you !
Enviado desde la muerte a través de un Nexus4

I am getting BT drops as well. Seems to be after leaving the screen off for a while. It reconnects as soon as turn the screen back on.
I have also had quite a few dropped calls but can't be certain that this wasn't the network.

Hi,
Working fine on my LBL SP.
Fast, smooth, and what a ROM should be.
Just a few things you might be able to help me with.
Charge light never goes out at 100%, stays green all the time.
Any way to change that?
Getting "Optimising Applications" at every reboot.
I've cleared Dalvik and rebooted, but it keeps happening.
What can I check?
Thanks for a great ROM.

The charge light is standard sony, I do not know of anyway to change that at present
However I can look into this and if I find anything I will report back.
Your optimising on every boot issue is caused by Gapps - remove it and reinstall another version
I had to change the link on my thread to reflect a better version that resolved this issue some users were experiencing
thanks for the valued feedback

Yes you can use it every day and please find attached the extra files you need to make it work in the Italian language
You need to drag and drop the attached files in these locations
system/tts/lang_pico/
system/usr/xperia_keyboard_dictionaries/
(DO NOT delete any files already in these locations in the Rom)
(The attached is NOT a flashable zip)
Please ignore any DS_store files in the .zip - I work on a mac and these are hidden storage mac specific system files - you DO NOT need these

I read in the main thread that there is only English, instead I saw that there are all the languages. Thanks anyway! I'm still testing the rom and negative I found that I did not synchronize Google's conctat.

It is english by default as I removed all other languages packs that effect the keyboard and dictionaries, the first boot menu will default to showing a list of ALL languages....
The keyboard and dictionary will only function in English unless you apply the files I supplied above this will give you FULL Italian as well as english!
For google sync to work you need to install Gapps mentioned in the second post in the main thread

This Rom was only meant for C5303 devices as mentioned in the main thread first post
No idea why wondershare isn't working and I cannot offer support for third party apps sorry
I can fix xperia backup software place the attached files in the app folder and reboot
system backup will start working again (the attached is Not flashable you will have to add them to the ROM manually)

Flash the kernel that came with the rom with flashtool
then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57345781&postcount=106 to install the NFC stuff and that should sort out your issues
The lock screen is possible an issue with miui - go to apps and delete the mihome launcher

Sony's apps update.
Thank you for such a wonderful ROM!
I tried your ROM and only have one question: How can I update Sony's apps such as Walkman, Album, Movie,... when the Update app was removed?

First I must say that this is the fastest stock I have ever seen. Thank for the great work!
%99 percent of your "bloatware removal list" is perfectly fit for usual XSP owners. And a few changes can be made on this list as you said "to be done in V3".
And I have suggestions before releasing your "mighty V3"
After numerous clean installs of your v2 over stock original .205 with Locked Bootloader;
1- I could never overcome the "optimising applicaitons on every boot" issue. Tried 3 different GApps mentioned in the original posts. If I am not wrong -without GApps installation- after update of Google Play Store and Services there is no problem. But when I install GApps and there is an updated GApp in them (no matter before or after gapps installation) every boot takes time. May be a permissions issue but you are the master
2- I got better superuser interactions with both 2.40 supersu binary and app
3- As you know SONY apps like Walkman, Album, Movies etc are sexy and most of Xperia users love them. According to SONY's strangely good update frequency of these apps makes me think that "Sony Update Center is required" in V3.
4- I tried both activating ant not activating mi home, cleaning data of mihome and xperia home apps, uninstalling, all the things possible... No chance to fix clock orientation in Xperia Lockscreen.
5- I think with such a smooth rom we guys will choose Xperia Homescreen. Mi Home can be removed. There are CM roms there to fantasy
6- As this roms "fitness" helps about battery life, you can also add your features like MPDecision thing etc. to make this rom legendary about battery. Underclocking also helps as you do and what about no frills classic pre installed or buried in setting?
7- I'm confused after tons of flashing zips and I may be wrong but after a clean install for locked bootloaders
7a- If phone is not rooted pre installed towelroot would be good because I dont want to find a way to get a file explorer to find apk and install it. Or pre installed ES File Explorer would also be good, as I think every one has it.
7b- If phone doesn't have recoveries recevory zip installation can also be added to installation instructions, may be supersu.zip too.
8- I don't know if there are differences but most of guys would prefers US English than Australian English
9- Of course not all GApps but I thing %95 of Sony Stock users use Google Contacts sync. Apps, app datas, maps, google+ etc etc all they are optional but contacts sync is a must. Needed in V3
10- Exchange capabilities are must for email I think. You can put it in or make it an addon.
11- There are so many guys out there can not deactivate their facebook accounts just to remember the birthdays of friends. And there is no wonderful way to sync facebook calendar to phone calendar on play store like Sony's own app. This is also needed I think...
12- Only one ringtone of original Xperia ringtones...
13- I know you have thought may be all of these but I will be happy whether even only one of these would help to make your rom better.
I am installing stock .205 now and I will use it till mighty V3 of you released
I am a volunteer for testing on LBL too. Good luck.

Sure no problem
You need to drag and drop the attached files into these locations in the ROM

Hi alls,
About installation, no problems. Maybe i missread the Op, i flash SuperSu (v2.40), i don't realize you even use Super user, but no probeme, i can diseable it very easy and NO problem with root. (thank for the french language on the very first boot)
About your rom : You'r a Champion: Stable , Fast, good battery,....only what i need....(i'm on LBL and use Performance Controle apk, the only "feature" that i need to control your rom)
About a probably Slim rom V3, if you can give us more battery, you are a GENIUS!!!:highfive:
Many thanks for your work

Hi,
Many thanks for your hard work, neil
I don't like CPU Frills, i prefer Performance Control for LBL( there's already MP Decision) and many other things you can control: GPU, RAM management, you can freeze some applications,...., it's more complete.
BTW, can i uninstall, the "new"applications you wrote in the OP (V3)? Because i never use NFC, update SONY, etc, etc.
Regards

YES you can uninstall, the "new"applications" listed in (V3)
If you want to use "performance controller" app just rename MPDecision.old to MPDecision in system/bin and reboot
That will reinstate Sony stock settings and allow you to use the "performance controller" app fully, hopefully!
