It does as far as I know I just use apps that aren't art ready yet so can't test it myself

There is no ART option in developer options on the Z2 in either .55 or .69 firmwares.

Yup, i got art option after flashing romaur. Unfortunately, it didnt go well when tried using it. Disabled xposed, choose art, restarted phone, and thats it, continuous bootloop with no way to fix it, apart from wipe+reflash romaur..

Flash normal XZU with Google Edition Rom?

Is this possible? If yes, how to flash?
I think 4.4 with the "original" Google play edition image would be very useful instead of custom roms.

Read my last message. It depends on which rom you are running. Im using GPe Rom which is 4.4.2 and it works geeat , even google now , speaking on any screen , it respond. You should try it out.
I don't think you know what im talking about on nexus 5 at the home screen if you swipe to the left you get the Google now which I like.. You don't have to drag from the home virtual button to go to google now
If you see the nexus 5 video you will know what I'm talking about

OMFG, people. Yes, OP. The Google Experience Launcher, yes the on the Nexus 5 uses, is wildly available to download on the internet, and there are NO reasons to port a whole ROM just for the launcher, LOL. That's like porting iOS to our device for the font. We don't have to do that.
I'm running the GPe ROM with GEL, and everything works as it should. Yes, Google Now (swipe to left) works just fine.
This thread should also be in the Q&A section.

The reason for my post is to be able to still keep the xreality features .
Since the actual GPE ultra is able to still have xreality on GPE
The way I understood is that once we unlock boot loader we are not going to be able to still have the xreality correct?
You can install a port of xreality, see the mod section.

I thought u need to have boot loader unlock to flash ROM so how will the mod work ? If the boot loader is unlock for GPE ROM?
It's a port of the older xreality/bravia I think

Do you, or anyone, know if there is a way to make the icons on the GEL smaller, both on the home screens and in the app drawer? I changed the dpi in build.prop to 320 before even trying the launcher, and this is the only additional change I would like to make. I tried changing the dpi with Xposed, both the launcher and Google Search. I don't care about anything but icon size, as it's kind of jarring to leave an app in phablet or tablet mode, only to see massive icons. I'm running the GPe Rom port on a C6833.

SlimRoms for Togari

So I maintain Slim for Honami, I have a build that could use some testing. Build is completely untested so there is always that possibility of bricking the device. But odds are worst case you will need fastboot to restore.
Cheers

Edit: It booted up fine...Update if there is anything... Getting used to the smaller DPI...
Edit: My eyes and fingers hurt at the small fonts and tiny keyboard LOL...
Issues with camera not working despite working with a clean install and TWRP recovery. The bug should be the same old can't connect camera bug...
Camera works after rebooting but still hangs after initial startup of app. Few quick presses on the soft button for the shutter gets it working. Third party seems fine with occasional quirks here and there that I don't know how to describe. The Sony logo pops up whenever I use the 3rd party camera apps before the app interface appears
OK thanks for being brave.

For now i cant find any issue. But what i miss from carbon this is Pocket Mode, really cool feature.

This is not something I will add to this mod as not everyone has an unlocked bootloader.. It may cause problems for people and should only be installed on a requirement basis..

Now using CM12 nigthly
How about us oldies, with ul before the exploit came out? I mean how to proceed if I would like to put the DRM fix on your ROM, perhaps in the end of the proces?
Sounds promising, got tired of the rectify, do to too many customazatios even though it can be fixed.
Thing to like perhaps:
Black settings.apk framework
Black dialer or aosp dialer
Black in general
Zipallinged perhaps?
Xposed in settings
Theme engine, so we can run CM themes

I have a fix for the resetting audio options,
You need to find the following file:
system/vendor/etc/effect_init_params
Delete that file then the settings will stick after reboot.

You loose special sony functions like X-reality for mobile, camera algorithm to reduce the noise in low brightness ambiance, and possibly the dualshock function if you have a playstation 4
If you want to unlock the bootloader do not enable MyXperia before of after

Thank you, I really don't care about X-reality because I can manipulate colors with Xposed....Camera in a tablet is useless. About losing Dualshock function I'm really concerned since I have a Ps4 so I'll have to find out about it.
