Camera
Hi I own a Xperia Z2 and I'm interested in installing this custom ROM. However I am interested in the camera app with which this ROM comes with. As on the stock Sony ROM the camera app would 'overheat' after recording 4k video for 10 min. I would like to know what kind of app/software you use on this ROM to record videos and if the same 'popup' would appear after 10 min of 4k recording.
Thanks in advance
There is no 4k or Sony camera in ANY aosp/cm etc (aka non stock) rom unfortunately

Blame XDA, not me. I'm looking for a way to get this deacticated ATM, I don't want it either bc I will defenetly forget to look in here as I know me... You should ask your question tho if you want it to get answered xD

You actually should be able to post in the real Nightly Thread now, I just deactivated the Q&A Thingy. To your problems:
The CPU thingy is like this. This is also how it is clocked on the stock Rom. You couls install a Custom Kernel to OC it to 2.5 (Actually 2.45 GHz) If you want so.
Regarding the Music App: Just install any App you like from the Playstore.
Regarding the Gov and Shedulers: Find it out on your own and what fits your needs best.
Regarding the Launcher: Not with the Standard launcher but you could always install a different one from the playstore.

BUG FOUND
rom installed : CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141020-0238-sirius.zip with pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip via CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1.
When I connect the charger while the device is turned off , it is booting the phone / system. You can't have the device turned off and charge your phone.
Another strange thing is that on Statusbar there is no indication on the battery icon that a charger is connected.
Still the best behavior in general use from a custom rom I had till now.

Don't really know about the charger thing. If I remember correctly this also happens on CM.
Regarding the charging animation: you can change the battery icons color when you charge the phone. Battery Circle animations are rotating when charging. Check Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar for more.

request for the future + notices in behavior
1)I wanted to use an mp3 as a ring tone and there is no way to do it without installing Rings Extended or similar ringtone picker from the market. It is sad to see that basic things are not included in a custom ROM that is supposed to be one of the most customisable ones. It is not so important but I would like to see a better ringtone picker in the future.
2)Also I don't understand why there is no app for music. Of course I can download from playstore or other sources from the internet but usually a ROM should have a default player.
I am using this ROM for 3-4 days now , it is far better than others. Actually my personal opinion is that it replace easily the official ROM.
3)I've noticed that while my screen is locked (black) , without hitting the power button , the screen lock appears for a second and after that the screen goes black again. I saw that 4-5 times this afternoon.
4) When I go to Settings -> Themes -> Wallpaper -> Carbon Wallpapers and try to apply a wallpaper , it applies it but not correctly. The image is shown on the desktop is less than half of the one shown in preview.
5) Using the app Messaging , when I write an sms with Greek characters , it gives me a 60 characters limit. I know this issue exists even in official Sony firmware. I also know that I could download GoSMS or similar app with local support , but I would like to know if there is a way to fix that with Messaging.
p.s
All of my comments are posted based on good will.
cheers !

I did that my friend "Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar" but this doesn't fix the isue. I will try to "play" with it by choosing different styles and colours but I already did that with no luck. Maybe it will work ...
thanks for the reply

1) place the MP3 in a folder called Rintones on the internal storage and select it with the default Settings. (stock Android bahaviour)
2) We decided not to include any as Apollo seemed to have random issues at the beginning of KK.
3) Check Carbon Fibers -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen Notifications and Active Display if you have Pocket mode activated.
4)The picture is to big You should be able to scroll if you have more than 1 Homescreen tho
5) Not that I know.
Regarding the PS: We always appreciate feedback and I never expected your posts not to be on based on a good will
bug ?

Pocket mode is not activated
as said about Carbon wallpapers , I don't know if it is cause the image is too big , because if I tap on the right button Set as Wallpaper fast before the image loads the big preview , it applies ok without problems but not all the times. there must be a bug there or something
and about the charging status , sometimes it works when you connect the charger, the icon on the status bar shows it is charging. sometimes not

New to this forum so apoligies if this post is in the incorrect place.
I rooted and installed CM9 last night and tried to follow the noob guide which was not that clear especially when you don't know what flash means. I know I am a real noob I ended up finding a great video by searching Samsung galaxy s2 root. Had all the links and latest version of cf root.
I have to say CM9 is what the S2 should of been like !
I have a few questions though. Sorry in advance if these are noobie questiins.
1. On stock ics for my device when i chose a picture from gallery for wallpaper it would let you choose if you wanted it in portrait or across 3 parts. Now I have a box which I have to adjust and I can never get the size correct !!!
2. How do I get a seperate picture on my lock screen.
3. How do I get camera to save to SD card , there is no option in camera settings ?? would this be because google devices have no sd slot ? is so how can i change this?
4. How do I get the cool unlock effect then after I do that get the pin option ?
5. Anyway of adjusting keyboard options like key size (way to small at the moment) and feedback as vibration is too strong at present.
6. How do I get folders in the app draw ? Can only do it on homescreen. Very annoying as could do this previously and I am ocd with these things.
7. Found that if I use the camera there is a very slight pink splodge in the center of the screen. Never had this before ?
8. No 3G but i do get the H symbol occasionallyy pop up??
9. Battery life poor and really really much worst whilst using gps.
10. gps takes at least 5 mins to get a signal on navigation / maps even when i have it fully on.
11. How can I get notification numbers on the text and email symbol on the homescreen ? beleive its on stock ics.
12. Anyone know if whilst in rom manager I can update to the latest nightly build and is this the best way to update my phone now i am on cm9 ?
13. Sometimes my homescreen swipes are inaccurate ?
14. keyboard presses sometimes dont vibrate but letter appears?
15. anyone know how to get music player to look like this. http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cm9-music.jpg?139d23. the cm9 one looks grey and dull and has less options.
16. my videos on my sd card wont play ??
17. lost notes which came with the s2? where can i find it ??
18. how can i get gestures like cm7
19. how can i change themes as the option seems to be unavailable in the menu e.g its there but wont let me press it ?/
Thanks in advance. I know there are lots of questions here and all the little things here won't put me off using cm9 as its sooo much better than stock !!

blimey.. well..
answers to some.. .
2. not at the moment
3. Cant at the moment (use ICS+ Camera from play store if you want that)
4. i guess you mean Faceunlock.. read the CM9 discussion thread lots of questions answered in the first post)
6. is being worked on in nova Launcher but no others at present..
7.KNOWN ISSUE for most people since the phone came out...
10. there is a GPS fix you can get but you just need to experiment with radios etc,... again search the CM9 discussion thread
11.. being worked on on various launchers not a CM9 issue (believe Nova and Apex are working on this)
19. Themes are not essential as it is only a nightly build ..
remember most of these issues are known about and are varying in importance on when they are worked on.
thanks
Thanks so much for the answers.

Let me google that for you
Google ?
No point using Google. If I had found the answer there then I would not have created the thread. I have also emailed / posted cm direct but they state they won't reply or that in so many words. I am assuming that battery life has reduced due to rom but don't know ? That's why this thread was created ?

And yet, his answer provided you with the information you needed to find out yourself.
Common cause of battery drain is wakelocks, and his provided google search linked you to a ton of threads and links which detail what to do to find out what is causing wakelocks, and how to try to prevent them from happening. That will improve battery life.
"No point in using Google".... C'mon, dude.

INTRODUCTION:
__________________________________________________
Hello XDA.. Welcome to another project by me, the Custom Stock ROM 5.0 Edition- Codename: "Eternity". After a long period of waiting and as most of you have known me from my ICS ROM Thread, basically it's a simple looking Stock Rom with some new features and apps added to this ROM that the original firmware don't have and it feels a lot better and faster. Lots of bugs has been fixed, and I have made a lot of visual changes in 5.0 Edition. I feel that this is what Samsung should have done on our lovely device. I hope you will have a great time enjoying with this new release. If you enjoy my work, please spread the word around about this ROM.
*Before using this ROM, please read the whole post.
*This thread will be updated with new infos.
Things To Remember:
1. The best way to start is not by posting, it is by reading. Read, search, read, search. If you read an answer that looks helpful or answers a question you might have, bookmark it, and when you see someone else ask that question you will have the answer for them plus a supporting link.
2. Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
3.When you post something here, many people will see it and possibly post a reply that might be perceived as funny but not extremely helpful, or trolling. This is mostly due to questions that have been asked and answered a thousand times, threads/posts being in the wrong forum/thread, or not providing enough info. This is usually meant as good-natured kidding, so please don't take it wrongly and snap off a reply that escalates the situation into something you might regret later.
4. Do not use abusive language: Example: "wtf", "f***ing", etc... Please do not use bold or bigger fonts. It is against all forum rules.
5. Post using a clear message: You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a message that describes your problem and explain in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
6. Search before posting: Use the search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
7. Press the
button: Don't just say thanks, press it.. It's free and easy.
8. Vote and Rate my thread: As it will help me keep this development alive.
*Flash this ROM at your own risk, do a backup first because you will lose all your datas.
*I am not responsible if your device breaks or turn into hardware failures.
*I will not answer if you have install any mods from other threads or roms/firmwares which will cause big issues and bugs on your device.Please refer to the original providing thread instead.
FAQs:
Q: Is this ROM 100% lockscreen lag free?
A: It is being reduced. You can still see 1 or 2 lags.
Q: How do I flash this ROM?
A: Please refer to the Installation Procedures.
Q: How is the battery life?
A: It can last a day of usage if you are not a gaming type of person.
Steps in preserving the battery:
1. You may want to uncheck some unused feature in Google Now settings. Example: Weather, Traffic. This cause heavy usage on battery life.
2. Uncheck Backup my Phone in Settings/Privacy.
3. Uncheck Automatic date and time in Settings/Date and time.
4. Uncheck WiFi notification in WiFi/Advance setting.
5. Set the Brightness Slider to a minimum and uncheck the Auto Brightness.
6. If you are using the Information Ticker and Weather Widgets, please set the refresh rate to 2 hours or more.
You may also want to practice the 2-3 discharge cycles to get good battery life.
7. Do not use Task Killer apps. Using these apps will waste even more battery life. Let android system do its ram killing.
8. If you using Juice Defender or Green Power apps, some users experience better battery life without these apps, so the best solution is to test them by yourself.
9. When exiting an app, do not simply press the home button. This will make the app not closing properly.
Thus, waste your battery life. Use the back button continuously until you reach the homescreen.
*Tips: The Best Way to Calibrate SGS2 Battery
ram3n said:
Guys,
Here is, I do think, an interesting topic about the famous eternal question :
"Please, tell me how to calibrate my f*** battery?!".
To begin with, here are some (fresh) news :
You have to know that our dear brand-new device uses new specific MAX17042 drivers which actually don't allow us to normally "calibrate" the battery as many of us could have imagined.
I quote Entropy512 :
Unlike HTC devices, battery calibration doesn't apply to our devices.
Google MAX17040 for more info - while our fuel gauge chip (MAX17042) does have advanced features that would require calibration if used, those features are not yet enabled and it basically behaves identically to a 17040. Maxim specifically designs their fuel gauge chips to not require special calibration procedures..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I mean here that using such applications like Battery Calibration (or anything else), or manually delete Batterystats.bin in data/system folder, or even wipe batterystats in recovery, all theses methods are actually .... useless and a waste!
In fact, the only effect you will notice by doing (deleting) it, is that you'll reset your usage stats in the Android battery usage screen. Nothing else, sorry.
The only current way I've found up to now, is to force the internal chip to do it and therefore reset the fuel-gauge.
Here is a very simple method. Keep in mind that's not the only way :
BTW, no root needed here
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Fully Charge.
3. When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4. Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5. Wait for 180 seconds exactly (be careful )
6. Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
7. Put back the battery on the right side.
8. Turn on the phone.
9. Pray the Battery god
10. ... and voilà !
After that, you can make some cycle of fully charge/discharge to ~15/20% TO complete the method
I am pleased to share my experience about it.
Hope it could help most of people,
Cheers

MY GUIDE TO BATTERY.
Its different for every user so its hard, you may use apps that i don't so its no good deleting them, after all there is no point having good battery if you can't and don't enjoy your phone because you daren't have a certain app on your phone because it might use battery.
Or your struggling to see the screen because you have turned brightness off and put filter apps on.
So lets get one thing straight, yes you can save more battery than "my way" but i refuse to gimp my phone or use monitoring apps to analyze every little thing.
I will not undervolt or underclock because i bought an S2 and want to use its performance, i don't want a Galaxy mini that looks like an S2!
Remember, if a phone is gimped to half its speed it will take twice as long to do a job!:thumbup:
Don't use task killer apps, they are no good!
Use common sense, don't touch system apps if you don't know what they are.
For an example i only have 92 system apps left out of about 145 on JB lite after deleting what i don't need, and you could do more than that but you need to be very careful!
1st timers freeze apps instead of deleting just incase you make a mistake!
First get link2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.buak.Link2SD
or similar app and "debloat" remove useless/unused apps)
For me that would be things like all Samsung apps like samsung sync adapter, allshare, remote control apps, enterprise apps, software update apps, gmail, google+, gtalk etc..
I delete Touchwiz and samsung keyboard also because i use Launcher Pro and Swiftkey.
*Remember to install other launcher and keyboard before deleting stock ones:thumbup:*
This might be of some help, but be careful, don't delete if you don't know what it is!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=34465832
List of what apps are ok to remove and what it does http://bo.lt/i8igz
Look in running and cached apps to see what is always there and if you don't use it, lose it!
Another good app for clearing out rubbish and duplicates (amongst other things) that other apps miss is sdmaid, https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....thedarken.sdm
give your phone a good clean everyday or 2! £1.19p full version i think but well worth it!
Go to settings, turn off haptic feedback and turn vibration levels right down/off (if you don't use vibrate).
Turn brightness to a low comfortable level, for me thats about 20 %.
Turn auto brightness off (common sense tells me it must be analyzing ambient light levels every second the screen is on, therefore using resources!)
Go to settings - Location and uncheck all 3 boxes until needed.
Use dark wallpapers, the more black the better! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1631228
Turn syncing of email and notifications in xda, facebook, twitter etc off and just do it manually.
Apps like facebook, google+ and twitter, do you really need them?
If you only go on there occasionally then delete the apps and bookmark the site!
If you have poor signal then go to the modem + RiL thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=31416701
and find a good modem but on JB most modems are incompatible so check that it works on JB with someone first, but if you are on ICS then go and do it.
Lastly Gemini, https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...droid.gmappmgr
all the apps you were checking that were running like Maps etc, things you don't want to delete can be set to not start up at boot.
Go to settings and tick "force expert mode" then go through all your apps and all that have autostarts will have a little orange "auto" symbol.
Press the desired app and you will see "configure autostarts".
When you press that you will see all the instances in which that particular app will start up.
Here's where you are on your own depending on what apps you have so this is where you will need common sense on what to turn off.
As a general rule, turn off "on boot completed" on all your user apps, (apps you have downloaded yourself) but again there might be an exception depending what apps you have.
Be careful with system apps but Maps are the main offender which you can turn off.
(Turn all OFF , apart from 3rd one down and the 2 at the bottom ON) like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=29420959
YOUTUBE is the only app i have come across that doesn't like not being able to autostart so leave that one alone.
OK, now you are set upintall BBS http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=15869886
You can now keep an eye on what apps or processes are draining your battery.
Open it up, press menu/options from top right corner and go to advanced and check the "root features" box.
If you are having something keep your phone awake for excessive amounts of time the make a dump and post it in BBS thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=15869886
Make sure it is at least 4 hours long and phone has been untouched in that period. Someone will help you find the causes and keep them to a minimum
That is basically everything i do, so as long as you use common sense you should be fine.
A big thankyou to Salesale for these excellent ROMs he keeps coming out with
Remember, your phone is for using and enjoying, not being treated like a fragile egg and being scared to use it in case it uses battery!
As long as it lasts from when you wake till you sleep or get home (10 ~16 hours) then that is all you need! charge it overnight and ready to go again when you wake:thumbup:
Better than hardly touching it and getting 24 - 30 hours and it running out halfway through the next day!

If you have any other better advice or solutions on battery life, please share it in here.
Q: Is there a brick bug or Exynos Exploit in this ROM?
A: No, there isn't any of these bugs present. So, it is safe to use.
Q: How do I solve unlock SIM card?
A: You can use Galaxy SIM unlock or you may try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35096670&postcount=277
Q: My signal bar is not good. What can i do?
A: You may want to try flashing modems that works for you previously.
Q: My device is not waking up when I press the power or the home button key. What should I do?
A: Since I do not have this issue during my few test, try installing the ROM again. Or try to download the ROM again. Make sure you read the Installation Procedure below.
Q: I get the following error "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card" when trying to restore apps. What can i do?
A: Remove SD Card, install the misbehaving apps, then you reinsert SD card.
Q: AOSP Lockscreen crashes and reboot itself when I slide to unlock my device. What's happening?
A: There are conflicting apps you have installed that causes these bug. The issue with the AOSP lock screen is to do with popup notify apps using the accessability service to monitor apps.
Q: Can I apply themes into this ROM from other threads?
A: I have not tested it. You may lose some of the things in the ROM as the themes will overwrites the system/apps. Try it at your own risk. Always do a backup before attempting .
Q: Why are some of my apps FCs everytime I open them?
A: Some apps might not yet JB compatible.
Q: I want to dowload apps from Google Playstore i get a message that say's " Your phone is not compatible with this version" Any sugestions?
A: Try clearing cache/data for Play Store and Google Service Framework and Download Manager see if that helps.
Q: Is this ROM good for daily usage?
A: Yes, it is for daily usage, but as JB is in early development stage, bugs and errors is to be expected here and there. I will try my best to minimise these bugs and errors in the near future.
Q: Is this ROM multi-dpi? Can I change to 200 dpi?
A: I have not done this before. I may not be able to tell you. Try it at own risk. Always do a backup before attempting .
Q: Can I underclock/overclock and dual-boot with this kernel/ROM?
A: You can only underclock with this kernel. There is no dual boot feature yet.
Q: I experience over heating; that is I can feel the heat from the back of my device without doing anything. Why is this?
A: There are some apps which is running on background, trying to do updates and locations and it requires an amount of your 3G data.
Q: Which kernel is better?
A: Read below in the Warning Section.

Warning:
If you wish to install other kernels, you may try Philz kernel, Siyah Kernel(Beta) or Dorimanx kernel. Please download and run the GS2kernelwipe before installing these kernels.
You have to test it which works best for you.
For undervolting with Jeboo kernel v1.3, use an app like SetCPU or Voltage Control.
I advise you to undervolt 1 step at a time to test for stable result.
Some phones may not be able to undervolt and some can go -100mhv on each step.
If your device freezes or gets too hot due to too much undervolting, reboot to recovery. There is an option to reset the voltage.

ABOUT THE ROM:
__________________________________________________
Since version 1.0, the Custom Stock ROM has been based on the original Stock Samsung ROM builds. This makes a combination of performance and new features directly to your device as well as keeping it close to stock theme.
Some of the things that were tweaked with mods, scripts and apps in the previous versions are now included by default in this new ROM.
I would recommend to try this ROM. No obligations. Feel free to give your feedbacks about this ROM.
There will be more to come in the future versions, so for now, let's enjoy this release and hope to hear good things from you.

Hi Maanz,
Already said thanks in previous post when I used your Rom in 2 days, but just have to say THANKS again. I use this rom now over a week and battery life is very good,can go over a day with normal use, no FC's ,all is working like expected and very stable rom as you stated.This was done as my wife will be using it from now on(since I get my Note2 in a week) and I needed a "WAF"-rom (Wife Approval Factor) :lol:
This is by far the best rom I've used giving only the most needed extras and still have excellent stability,greatly appreciate your time and effort. You probably not gonna work on a Note 2 rom for me?
Gonna try the Revolution HD for note2(heard also stable)

Haha, funny thing, in my case I needed a "SAF"-rom (Sister Approval Factor). This one is in my opinion not wife/sister proof yet, I ended up putting maanz's other rom, Custom Stock Rom 2.1, which is ICS and super duper stable. If you hear any complains from the wife, go with that one for a bug free JB we just have to wait a little more

Hey Guys,
Just for info Maanz is working really hard on fixing a few minor visual bugs in the new version. I can say I have been testing it and its amazing for performance and battery life plus all the silly extra spaces and stuff in dialer after hangup which sammy should have fixed Maanz has done. It has been no easy task but Mannz is a perfectionist and will only release the new version when its 100% good so we can all enjoy it start getting very excited as this new version is awesome !

Ok, I have installed this for the wife and she's very pleased and I can vouch that the "phone once-always" bug is gone when rom upgraded.
@Ipmanwck..I did install the circle battery mod alone for wife and still no bug of the "once-always".
So far no bugs to report,all is running smooth for a day..didn't tinker yet where the other guys mention bugs,but normal email works fine,actually all is tested fine,except gps which I'm doing today.
Kudo's to the oke who made the video of installing rom in main page,is it you ipmanwck?..anyhow..I use that method with all my phones and is considered a norm for me,except I format internal sd everytime(really love a clean start,less errors to none found)..
Yet again,my wife is running brilliantly stock and me not,Oh I wish Maanz could do that for the N7105's..by the way is there a way I can have the lockscreen torch function on my note2,my wife is so stoked about the simplicity of how to enable torch with the home button(this must be built into samsung stock)

Q&A for [ROM][OFFICIAL][CandyKat 4.4+][TWRP & CWM][Theme_Engine][quincyatt]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Wakelock problems
Hi everyone! I am using CandyKat Rom. Does anybody "suffer" that when you press the screen turn on button ( I forgot what's its name) it does not turn on. Can anybody suggest what to do? It's the best rom, but I this irritates me. Thanks everyone. ????

Wake lock
2 possible fixes.....
First you could disable HD overlays, I know that works
The other possibility could be Pollution patch. I have never used it as I haven't had the need. But I know many swear it will cure everything but cancer. The patch I believe is more of a Kit Kat cure all, not necessarily specific to Kandy Kat.
To the OP, due to the lack of development with our beloved but aging device, not sure it is necessary to create a Q&A here for the rom. Sorry, but I don't exactly believe that the thread is blowing up over there.

I have no idea what or who Q&A bot is, I try to look up profile and it says "invalid".
If it is a rom specific question it is fine to post there. If it is a device specific question, I would take it here. There is not so much development going on here that the thread are blowing up.
If Mr.Bot was upset about my response, he would have surely had something to say.

2) check out my thread about an xposed module that helps with kernel panic related to system. Link
The issue the above member is referring to with hw disabling is the screen flicker...and yes. Disabling hw overlay will solve that issue,as will pollutions aroma patch or a simple build prop edit.
I use both the above fixes ( 1&2 ) and wakelocks are a thing of the past for me. As for the screen flicker. Most devs bake the build prop edits in now.
I'm not a dev, i'm just a flash junkie. if i knew what i was doing i would attempt to build it myself, but is it possible that the fast charge feature of the diablo kernel from the hellybean rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457323 could be built into the uber kernel? am i posting in the right place? sorry if i'm not. i love this rom and have no bugs so far but battery life/charging time suck. thanks to those who put time and effort into doing something that makes me feel like an idiot. thanks in advance.
Hi ,, apparently I cannot flash anything yet.
I have Gingerbread with TWRP installed. I have tried a couple of roms but they fail.
Any ideas?

Hi there. You cannot flash kitkat roms in gingerbread. You should have the jellybean, you can do that by using kies. Note that you should also have cwm 6.0.4.3 and up to flash kitkat roms: )
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Free mobile app
Carried over from the Dev Thread.
Recently flashed this ROM on my Note. Very much enjoy it.
I have flashed the camera fix, stopped my cam from FC'ing. The camera takes great pictures. The recording delay while annoying is something I can live with, however.. It doesn't record anything. Acts like its recording, and such, but doesn't seem to write anything anywhere.
Any ideas?
Just installed CandyKat-quincyatt-4.4.4.release.v1.6.0-Official-20140922 on my note, but now the hard navigation buttons on my device do not work at all, and there is an extra navigation bar on the screen with the same functions as the existing buttons on the device. I found in the candykat options a checkbox to turn off the software navigation bar, but when I do this I still do not have any functionality with the real navigation buttons on my note.. How do I enable the real nav buttons?

ok.. more problems with nav bar: I tried to turn off the navigation bar in the candy interface options and reset the device to see if it would re-enable the hardware buttons, but now I cannot use the hardware buttons and trying to reenable the on-screen navigation bar does nothing. Clicking the checkbox for navigation bar and nothing shows up on screen. Also, in the same candy interface > navigation bar menu options, if I click the "Show landscape" checkbox it crashes the process com.android.systemui 100% of the time.
EDIT #3:
So I was going to try and manually edit the build.prop file to see if I can reenable my hardware keys, only to discover that this ROM does not support USB file transfer. The device charges fine when connected to USB, but does not even appear in device manager on my computer.. changing usb ports does nothing, enable/disable usb debugging on device does nothing.. also the device randomly freezes, shows a pinky-orange screen and reboots when going into the settings menu. This ROM is too broken, I don't know how anybody is using this. I'm going to have to switch to something more stable with working USB and options.
Android L
Will there be android L in this Rom ? I

I dont think black glass is completed for tmobile rom. I think it only works on the international version right now. I'm not positive though.
Fix center clock on status bar
I have an issue with my clock when i center that on my status bar, you can see on the screenshoot icons overlap the clock.
Ty :good:
Oh this is cool I totally didn't know this was here
I have a problem with the status bar. Like I centered my clock and everything was cool until I rebooted my phone, now I don't get any notification icons or wifi or signal no matter what settings I take on or off or toggle. I would love for there to be a reset back to default button especially since some things like clock size don't have it, so once it changes you just have to eyeball it. Theres also a couple of misspellings if you care But I love the rom! I don't even need exposed really with this rom because it does everything wanam does already and then some!
G900W8 Vairant
I'm using a Canadian S5 G900W8, would this be compatible?
is this good for daily use?
step 4 regarding Installation
HI there,
I have to say that what I have seen regarding this rom is totally impressive, and I want to use it.
my question is regarding step 4, and creating a needed folder??
what is the title of this file is it **Structures?** sorry if this sounds like a ridicoulous question but it is totally unclear to me
I have not come across this before in installing any rom, any help would be much appreciated.
Step 1-
Make Sure You Have a Custom Recovery - TWRP or Philz
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and wipe davlik) if coming from another rom
Step 3-
Install the Rom
Step 4-
Once booted open Alliance Manager from app drawer to create needed folder structures
Step 5-
Enjoy!!
Weird Camera Bug
Does anyone know a fix to this strange camera glitch/bug. It does go away after a few seconds and occurs with every app that uses either camera
Has anyone found a fix to the camera glitch/bug?
Can this be flashed over stock 5.1.1 even after clean install or do I have to roll back to a older version using Odin first?
Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
you have done an excellent job with the xperia u 5.1 AOSP rom
I downloaded the kumquat xperia U android 5.1 rom you uploaded on 15 th march it is way better please keep on posting updates i absolutely love the transparent app drawer ......
there is a sound issue with the rom though sometimes you cant hear the ringtones , otherwise it rocks
thank you again please keep updating .....
you deserve more credit than you get .... and please do something about the black lockscreen can it be transparent please thank you again
you saw that build
I removed it because it was only a work-build, and i uploaded it there only temporary so that i could download it to my phone (i wasn's at home).
I like the transparent app drawer too, about the lockscreen wallpaper.. for now.. the only option is for you to change the ro.config.low_ram=true in to ro.config.low_ram=false in build.prop , but ill figure out something else.. probably
EDIT:... there is a new build, i just tried it, its uploading now, it should be smoother , and with less graphical and audio glitches.
pirej if you are reading this a big thank you
just downloaded the new xperia u 5.1 rom you uploaded on the 17 March it is very good much better than the one on 15 march , everything works ie sound and all i love it i really hope a lot many people download this rom, you will do a better job than (CM12 thread by agontuk ) hopefully you will start your own Cm12 eagerly waiting, till then will be using your Aosp version .
a big thank you to you made my day brother ......
Can you make it for Xperia P?
great job pirej
You need to advertise your product better its a shame how few people are downloading this rom which is far more functional than CM12 builds .
you must at least have a expanded view of the " ABOUT PHONE " in your thread and change the wallpaper background it almost looks black, otherwise people who are visiting are overlooking the fact that you are the only one who has developed a 5.1 rom that is fully functional for daily ue.
Thanks, keep up the good work .....;.

Thanks for your positive comments, i dont want to brag about the rom, and i knew it would be like this even before making the rom/thread.
The bottom line is that im doing this primary FOR ME, and im just sharing my work with you or anyone else who wants to try it.
I will post some new screenshots, but it wont change anything.
Thanks again.

What exactly you mean "not saving used networks properly" ?
This is not final fix for wifi, i know its not reconnecting automatically, but at least now it saves the network..
Missing some features
Hi! This rom you did is awesome and goes very well, but I miss some things about stock lollipop:
- Recent apps view.
- Transparent status bar / app color status bar.
- lockscreen wallpaper available (black screen seems horrible ).
Thank you for this room that have come back to live my old Xperia U!!!
hello

Question
Any chances to make Video Recording working? What`s the problem? Related with what?
Almost perfect
Hi! Thank you for sharing your home-made ROM, which is FANTASTIC! Just one question: what will I have to wipe to make the update to the last version without losing my data-apps etc? Cache and dalvik cache only? No wipes?

Yes, just wipe cache and dalvik cache, but.. i always prefer clean install
This ROM is great, you made this rom even better than cm 12 project by agontuk
Almost everything is working and stable
I just see a few bug like YouTube app working lagy
And transparency effects missing like black lock screen
I hope your can fix these sorry for my English
are there still any memory leak in 5.1
Really a great ROM... stable and faster than KitKat ones I've tested!
Keep working on it!
