[Q] 4.4 back to 4.3 - Sony Xperia ZL

Had enough of 4.4 till they fix all these issues. I was ok with the issues till my ringer stopped working and it would only vibrate (needed to be restarted)
So my question is:
- Flashing back to 4.3 .101 can I just uncheck data and cache or do I need to do a fresh install ?
Thanks

There is none and also not necessary, just flash an older version with flashtools.
It will not harm your TA partition.

So long 4.4 hello 4.3...... 4.4 .230 was truly horrible.... my phone was warm at idle....crazy... with 4.4 I was getting maybe 40% MAX (with Location turned off) the battery life of 4.3 .101..... I should add to my other thread title, "Impressed with 4.4 Rollout, Disappointed with 4.4" .....
Personally 4.4 isn't worth it, nothing special, maybe end of summer they will have it running well..........

The main problem isn't have a bug. But they took a long time to release this one, damn.
I'm not expecting for a bug corrector update so close. Does their developers did't get this one?
How about the Sony bug reporting? Does it can read a "slowly" interface and high drain battery as a bug, or just crashing on apps?

Not sure exactly what your asking, when I had 4.4 I had the following issues:
- 40% the battery life of 4.3 .101 (with location turned off)
- Email unresponsive pop up msg
- Ringer stopped working (only fix was resetting the phone, if you tired to go into sound, it would freeze for a few seconds)
- At idle the battery was draining a good bit and the phone was warm with no use.
- Choppy interface
- Very Laggy Keyboard
Not sure what else I am forgetting, but that's the most of it.... Don't understand how Sony could releases such a bad version
Bright side going back to 4.3 was great.....

I rolled back to 4.3 after 2 days of pain! Apart from battery drain (even with Google Play fix), and extreme lag in settings, not to mention that the Exchange Email has a bug that only allows a strong password to be used, I finally threw in the towel and went back to 4.3 where NONE of these bugs exist.
I for one don't like the 4.4 quick settings menu, it's a pain to have to go to the right and scroll where on 4.3 it's right there.
Even when Sony fixes their kitkat software, I pretty sure I'm staying on 4.3 for simply more stability and frankly I don't see really any big changes in the software.

Hi Guys....
Can somebuddy tell me the last 4.3 Build Number.....for a later Update....I'am running the last 4.2 Build....still happy and really wont go to 4.4....when I read about....sounds really like it sucks

The last ZL 4.3 firmware is 10.4.1.B.0.101. This build is very stable, no real bugs to report .. Over all, this is solid.

Thanks @enrique71
Good to Know.....if I want to try some new, I'll take it. But pretty Happy with the 4.2 also!

Yeah... you are absolutely right. I don't know how it's going for other phones, but what made me want KitKat was the new Runtime... the ART thing, that we don't have at this moment.
PS.: I don't know if the ART is even viable, in any KitKat out there, BUT that's what I was waiting for...

You must have not flashed the kernel or you flashed the wrong FTF. Be sure you are flashing the right file for your C65xx. Hold the reset button until it vibrates 3 times and turns off, then flash your file again.

i flashed C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101 R1C_Generic DE.ftf
shouldnt this work?!
i managed to reflash kitkat,
but i cant get my ZL working with 4.3

Anyone can give a good download link for.101?

Official CyanogenMod CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11 for the Xperia ZL

Looks like yesterday (04/13/2013) the Sony Xperia ZL has been introduced into the list of CyanogenMod's officially supported devices (Wiki and CM ROM download page)!
That's some excellent news!!! :laugh:
Sony Xperia ZL CM Wiki Page
Sony Xperia ZL (Odin) Latest Nightly Build Download page
I got my ZL last week and I absolutely love it (one C6502 and one C6503. Not sure which one I'll get to keep/sell... Currently there's no 4G LTE coverage where I live in Brazil).
On 04/16/2013 I decided that I'll keep the C6503. So I unlocked its bootloader via Sony's Developer original method and then I just followed the Odin's Wiki page walkthrough for flashing CM 10.1 to my phone. It all worked out perfectly. Hint: To get into CWM recovery you have to press and release the volume up and down at the same time a few times (until the led turns purple) when you turn on the device. It took me a while to get it right. I was used to my SGS where you just have to press power+volume up to get to recovery. A lot easier in my opinion.
A little history: I've been using a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 since Feb 2011 (now running latest CM 10.1 nightly). I love it to death and now I use it as a secondary-backup-work phone (specially when I travel abroad on GSM/HSDPA only networks). If it wasn't for the CyanogenMod community (particularly Pawitp and Stratosk) my phone would've been long dead along with Gingerbread 2.3.3... $am$ung has lost my business with its unfriendly developer support and ugly-ass colored phones and UI, girly looking round phones starting with the Samsung Galaxy S 3 and 4.
Please let me know if there's something new on those pages above, if I notice something new I'll keep you guys posted!
Cheers!
For those interested, here's some of the bugs I've experienced/noticed while using latest official CM 10.1 nightly:
When my phone is locked with the screen black (locked), after I push the power button, the screen lights up, and even though I did not unlock the phone, I'm able to change volume settings by pressing the volume rocker. This should not happen unless there's a video or audio playing in the background.
***Update: his hasn't been "fixed", apparently that's the new behavior and it's going to be that way – period.
When I push the power button to unlock the phone there's a short lag until the display comes 'alive' (others have mentioned this as well).
***Update: Fixed!
When I connect the phone to my stereo Bluetooth speakers by Logitech to listen to online music through 'A Online Radio', the phone goes to sleep as it normally does after a little while. If I try to wake up the phone it will freeze. I have to press the reset button to reboot phone.
***Update: bluetooth connection has been fixed, but now there's another bug that cuts the first 2 seconds off a song when it first starts playing or whatever you skip between tracks.
Wi-Fi is switching itself off a while after the phone sleeps. Regardless of setting for being always on. I've also noticed that the Wi-Fi resets itself randomly then I wake up the phone.
***Update: fixed (apparently)
It is taking significantly longer to fully charge the battery when compared to the stock Sony ROM (original Sony's charger used). And while the phone is being used sometimes it doesn't charge at all. You can see by the graph that it is depleting the battery instead of charging it. I'll try to take a snapshot of it.
***Update: that has been fixed, but if your phone is too warm, it won't charge at all. Make sure you always use the stock charger and short cable that came with your phone.
Notification bar 'sliding brightness' feature is only working after you pass through the half right portion of the notification bar.
***Update: not fixed
Lowest level of brightness is not as dark/dim as Sony's stock ROM.
***Update: not fixed, but I've noticed that on stock firmware the automatic brightness is darker than the lowest manual brightness that we can set, so that's the same behavior apparently.
Sometimes when the I receive a call, it starts to vibrate, the phone freezes and locks up, it still remains vibrating, the screen remains black (locked), and the only way to make it work again is to press the reset button. The alarm also did this once, it behaved just like that one time.
***Update: fixed!
Battery usage seems to be a little bit higher than stock ROM. But it's hard to find the culprit there...
***Update: it has been improved but I still feel that stock (very first stock firmware) had the best battery life.
During regular phone calls the speakerphone does not work.
***Update: fixed!
While I was on a phone call tonight, I pressed the back button to get me all the way back to home screen. Then I pressed the camera button to take a photo. The camera loaded and took the photo. Immediately after that, the phone locked up with a black screen. About 5 seconds after that black screen the phone started vibrating. I had to press the reset button to reboot the phone.
***Update: fixed!
***Official July-05-2013 CM 10.1 nightly all stock.***
Yo! Looking for current CyanogenMod (CM11) development for your Sony Xperia ZL/ZQ (Odin) Changelog??? Click HERE!!!
Here's my quick overview of CM11 (Jan 13th 2014) on my Xperia ZL C6503.
I honestly think PIE Control was much better than this new, hidden virtual controls that has been implemented. This new one present on CM11 just doesn't work as intended, and I find myself pressing menus (from within an app) when I try to back out of it. I really wish someone would/could bring back PIE Controls on CM 11.
There are some other issues with Jan 13th 2014 build when it comes to functionality and some missing options/menus that were present in CM 10.1 for example.
The new camera menus are absolute crap. I can work with that, but please, someone bring back the Store on External SD card option. That's an essential feature.
The icons on default launcher are huge. What's up with that? It's all bloated and washed out... Does it look like THAT bad on a Nexus 5??? This time around I was thinking of keeping the default launcher but it looks like crap so... Any suggestions for a new launcher? I've always had Apex Pro on my previous CM installs.
The default Web Browser (I think it's called Chromium?) is performing so poorly this time around... It basically seem to have lost all of my bookmarks cause it just refuses to pull them out of the cloud like it always did since CM7 up until CM10.2. The zooming feature (double tap) just refuses to work properly. I keep on double tapping the screen and nothing happens. It's really frustrating...
I've downloaded about 11 pdf files off the internet and the system kept tabs on it as it should, but when I tried to pull down the notification bar it was performing very poorly the animation was choppy for both quick settings menu and notifications bar. Clearing the notifications history fixed this. But should this ever occur?
For some reason I'm unable to uninstall system apps with Titanium Backup or any other app.
Thank goodness DSP Manager is working properly this time around. But....
Bluetooth connection sucks. It is really really bad. It constantly cuts and skips the music playback every other 5 - 15 seconds. Is there someone looking into that? In comparison, my almost 4 year old Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 is rockin' CM 11 without this problem.
I think that this is about it. Other than that the system seems to be working properly. I can't comment on anything else since I've got CM11 running on my Xperia ZL less than 5 hours ago.
I would like to take the time to thank FXP, FreeXperia Project and the rest of the community and developers that are constantly improving and enhancing the code and the experience for all of us.

I was doing some diggin' on you and FXP as well after I read on Odin's Wiki page that you were the maintainers for my new device! It's really a great pleasure having you here, taking the time to stop by to give me the heads up! Thank you!
After so many years with my Galaxy S i9000, I was really afraid of getting a phone that eventually would have no official CyanogenMod support. I'm so glad to see that my new device is now fully supported by the CM community! Heck yeah!
Phew, what a relief, man!
So, what is the difference between CyanogenMod and the FreeXperia ?
I mean FreeXperia ROM is available for the ZL since some weeks... and for my understanding it is the same!?

in my understanding this doesnt change much.
FXP was an unofficial CM build and now it's official. The quality remains.
Maybe the pros are that now the project can use official repository and download servers. And of course has more "world attention" since it's official :good:

Yup, couldn't agree more.
My biggest concern when I got the phone last week was the fear of getting it overshadowed by other major releases like the HTC ONE and the Galaxy S 4. I was afraid that the devs just wouldn't be interested in the device. But now that the device has made into the official CM10.1 ROM list, there's absolutely nothing to worry about...!

and many more...
also there are many devs who work independently have the Xperia Z/ZL:

so you should not be worried about dev support

Did you erase your IMEI or something? If you deleted the "backup" folder in the root of your internal SD card it might have caused this, I don't really know if it was the case for you since I haven't had a chance (time) to flash CM 10.1 on my ZL just yet...

So today I successfully unlocked the bootloader (following Sony Developer's website walkthrough) and then loaded CWM recovery as explained at the ZL's (Odin) Wiki page.
After successfully completing both of these steps I managed to get into CWM recovery and flash CM 10.1 and rebooted my ZL.
At first everything seemed to be working properly. After the initial boot screen and device initialization, it looked like I had just gotten a brand new 5" Google Nexus phone made by Sony straight out of the box. It was absolutely brilliant.
But then, after I successfully placed a call and talked on the phone for like 2 minutes, the phone went black. None of the buttons would work. I had to open the back cover and press the reset button for the phone to work again.
After reboot, I could not place any calls again...
I'm wondering what the problem is...
Anyone?
Edit:
I wiped the phone all over again and flashed CM 10.1 one more time. After reboot and initial setup, the phone worked just fine, no problems making or receiving calls.
One big remark though: The speaker phone (loud speaker) does not work. You press the button and it does absolutely nothing. So if that is a deal breaker for you, you may want to keep your original Sony ROM rockin' for a little longer until the problem is solved.

These two issues are well documented and discussed. Seem to be common on all AOSP roms. For the GSM signal, the best thing to do would be to flash baseband only using flashtool. Or you could play around with enabling/ disabling airplane mode and see if that works for you (for me it does)
The speaker during calls doesnt work and enabling it results in complete loss of audio through both the speaker and the earpiece. To fix it just restart your phone.

KK Carbon Rom Xperia S

Hello guys,
Who ever is looking for a good stable, good looking KK rom, you have to checkout Carbon rom.
This is better than all the other roms I've have tried, and believe me I've have tried quite a few roms.
It's smooth, customizations is the best part off this rom and can be done with ease.
Give it a try, and I promise you will not want to change it for another rom for some time.
Happy modding.
Carbon rom
Yea great rom but beta 4 is more bugged than beta 3 do not create pin lock screen because it got bugged to me and i couldn't unlock mobile, had to reinstall rom with cleaning all apps . By now i can say that games are also not working properly- can'y launch injustice. And pobably lot more Beta 3 is more stable by now
I am having some issues with this rom as well. Though I cannot really report in the original thread I will complain first here.
The black screen after the video is still happening. I don't really know what the problem is, but the work around I used before (Use GPU for 2D drawing and Disable GPU Hardware Overlays) is not working anymore. The moment you click in the very last option i mentioned, the screen goes black and bye bye my friends.
Let's see if I can make this message reach the creator of the ROM.
Thanks!
Keep talking (writing!) people.
I enjoy this kind of feedback personally, and i am on the verge on unlocking my bootloader in order to attempt 4.4
There is nothing more to hope for out of 4.1 builds i think.
I am currently on nature, which is absolutely fantastic and its creators are really active. However feature - wise and speed wise , it is not going to get any better than it already is...
Lets all hope that german exams will be over soon......if you know what i am talking about
Rayman's return eagerly awaited
s
Generally i aslo can't comment the dev topic so games aren't working, had some issue with the screen (coulnd't wake up) and do not create pin lock as i wrote in previos post becasue it got bugged (can"t type any number but i can hear vibration after typing numbers) and had to reinstall rom. Generaly beta 3 is more stable by now OH and i do not have any problems with camera sa others claim in the dev's topic
GREAT!
I can't post in the dev forums yet so here I am.
Thanks for the new rom! Works great! AOSPA isn't very stable for my Acro S atm so this will do for now. In fact this feels much more stable than the other AOSP roms so far. Good job and thank you, dev!

I'm waiting for xperia overlay rom by ACHOTJAN 4.4.2
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
I have been using BETA4 for a couple of days now and I haven't found any of the bugs you guys are reporting so far. I was previously on OpenSEMC-U r2, and did a full wipe (everything but sdcard) before flashing. Also, I used the kitkat gapps from the cyanogenmod website.
Sometimes, however, the screen will randomly turn on when locked, but it could be caused by one of the apps I have installed, I don't know. [EDIT: It turns out it's not a bug, it's a feature of the rom so that the screen automaticly turns on when you pull it out of the pocket... quite handy I'd say.]
As for games... everything I've tried so far works. Subway Surfers, Dots, MyBoy, Temple Run 2, Dead Trigger 1, Granny Smith, Sprinkle all work for me.

It isn't working, just like every 4.2+ rom for xperia s. There's no way around this and it will never be fixed.
Guys, anyone tried using the snapdragon battery guru app on Carbon Beta 5? I found it to slow down my phone a lot when it is in the learning stage, resulting in skips during audio playback and a lot of lag. so I uninstalled it before it could finish learning. Wondering if it's just my phone, or if the app is sh*t.
you can try greenify. should speed up your system and save some battery.

just installed Beta5 yesterday, coming from CM11 beta 3.1.
i think the rom is really great, though i cant find two specific options and i searched for like an hour or so.
specifically, im missing the option to use the volume buttons to change music tracks back and forth when the display is off and the other thing is the animation when you press the power button to shut down the display. it does this closing animation which i really hate.

Settings→ Carbon fibers→ Buttons→ under the topic volume buttons there is a function playback control
If you didn't clean flash it is possible that you can't see this function.
I can't upgrade to Carbon KK, or CM 11
Hi. I can't upgrade my Sony Xperia acro S to any ROM's. Everytime I install the ROM from Clockwork Recovery Mod, I either get the black screen, where are the phone does is vibrate, without turn on, or a boot loop on the Sony logo. How did you guys install ROM's onto your phones. Thanks for the replies, Deshan

Xperia ZL 6502 (INDIA)KitKat Rolling out from today

Ya bro. I have too received it. But i had waited for it for a long time. I am going to take my chances. In worst case you could roll back to your previous firmware

Updated to kitkat (...230) via OTA . Everything works fine in my mobile . Application screen and homescreen transitions are much faster and smoother compared to jellybean (..101) . Seems that even settings screen lag is fixed. Not so happy about battery life compared to (..101).But not that bad.

E975 Indian Kitkat REVIEW

I am not a pro, pls excuse me....
Hi guys, i updated this much awaited kitkat update as soon it was available OTA, jelly bean was good but had some battery drainage issues(not for many though) so i was very much anticipating this update.....But guys for me the kitkat update has been a big disappointment, why? read further
cons.....
1. lagging ui and app drawer!!!!! my lgog was lag free on jb
2. slow touch response, i can feel the difference, specially on keyboard, on jb it was way quiker
3. keyboard is slow...switching between numbers and alphabets is not that quick, back space is headache
4. notification led not working for whtsapp, facebook etc
5. dewdrop animation is buggy
6. lock button doesnt work somtime, needs double press to unlock
7. sometimes holding the power button to turn off the phone doesnt bring the menu, gets lock and its damn frustrating
8. vibration when the other person picks the phone isnt working even if u have the option turned on
9. themes, live wallpapers all missing
10. battery acts weird, when phone is restarted it drops upto like 5-10%
11. accuracy of touch screen has been degraded
pros......
1. definitely camera is better, focus issues got solved
2. i can see a little improvement in the battery department, not much noticeable though
weird things with kitkat.....,,
had got some pics to test the cam, but got some corrupted and automatically got deleted
I WANT TO GET BACK TO JELLYBEAN!!!!!!! PLEASE GUY TELL ME THE EASIEST METHOD TO DO SO, INDIAN JB STOCK ROM
KitKat does have some issues on OG. I've noticed a dramatically better battery life.
You can flash back the Jelly Bean KDZ file as described in several posts such as "Freaking Annoying Questions".
Same story here!

Same issues with my LGOG after KitKat update. Now I am repenting why I updated. Hopefully LG will issue a bug fix update soon.
I didn't face such strange issues.... Juz take backup nd flash the kdz with new flash tool... That might help yu...!! I think there is some issues when updating to KK via OTA... have you did hard reset aftr updating...??

I would wait to install any Android 5 rom on anything. Its VERY Buggie on every Nexus device that has it.. So i would assume atleast wait until 5.1 or above is Release and see how it goes. My Nexus just freezes for no reason. other times it gets so slow its nearly not usable ..Yes its on a STOCK Factory image from google.
Been running this one for about 12 hours:

Using the 12/12 update.
no major trouble, only downside so far are no rear camera, and screen cast doesn't find my Roku, not sure if that's a bug or not.
Missing some of the customary CM personalization, but for an early rom, seems pretty stable.

Weird. I keep hearing that but my Nexus 5 is smooth and fast and totally trouble free. I sideloaded the OTA back in November when it was released and haven't had a lick of trouble at all. I'm also totally stock, not rooted, no custom recovery.

I Think its some kind of sleep or cpu throttle Bug.. I can be using it just say on google plus. All of the sudden the screen will freeze . Sometimes go back to lock screen. Only fix is to push power button on and off to toggle the screen a few times then its ok.. It Does seem to Run apps faster But seems the UI Is a bit slow.. I Thought i had a bad flash so i re- downloaded from GOOGLE And fastboot flashed totally stock same outcome.. It Could be my Device who knows. But i have seen others complain as well. Lately i do not use my nexus 7 much anyway. I have a note 10.1 2012 Version .
Other thing I do not like the new drop down notification thing. The two sided one was MUCH Better. I think the old list type settings menu was better as well. Someone needs to remind google we are not Children or icon yuppies.
Anyway i think my comments here are off topic as this is about the note 2. My note 2 is running stock rooted 4.3. I just see no need for custom rom on it at this time...
Thanks for your Opinion. as said maybe its JUST Me..

Thanks for the tip Was just coming to take a crack at that kernel, then I noticed the new rom by Team UB so I decided to give it a go. It's a decent, well rounded rom, and the rear camera works.
That brings my issues down to one, still can't throw screen to Roku, but I can't blame the developers for that.
