[Q] Xperia U CM10.1 bugs

Hi, I have installed CM10.1 rom on my xperia U and facing some problems since then.
1) dialer crashes on incoming calls. I have not been able to pick up any calls since flashing the rom.
2) Camera shows inverted image. I have not checked all the apps that uses camera, but stock camera app shows inverted image.
3) illumination bar keeps on blinking sometimes. Are there any settings to control illumination bar?
Till now I have faced these problems only. Rest all functioning is much better than Stock ICS. Rom is very smooth and elegant. makes the xperia U look great. Had got bored of the phone and was gonna buy a new one but after flashing this rom have changed my mind. I guess I can work with this sometime more. :good:
CM version: 10-20131105-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat downloaded from free xperia project FXP244 version.
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-FXP-g9426a6e [email protected]#1
Android: 4.1.2
Can anyone help me? Dialer issue is very urgent.
Thanks!

had done wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. is that it all?
I re-installed the Rom and g-apps through CWM recovery. this worked for the dialer. now dialer is working fine but camera still shows inverted image. Have a major problem with Illumination bar now. Every time battery reaches below 15% its starts blinking red and its very bright that it can be seen through my jeans pocket. I tried installing the illumination bar app from playstore but that couldn't controll this either. Can we fix this?
Thanks!

[APP/SHARE]HTC One M8 Camera app working on Z1

Hello everyone!
I successfully managed to run HTC One M8's camera on our device! Some things are not working correctly(duo mode,zoe,gallery editing,manual control(Sony framework fault) ), but i wasnt expecting it to even start the app.
Download Link (Special Thanks to @iedafarha for making it a flashable zip )
Disclaimer:I hope it works for you, because I havent tested it on every rom. I tested on Stock(perfect) and Lollipop(improves camera a lot+more manual controls).
It didn't work on cm11 for some reason.
Instructions:
1. Flash ZIP.
2. Reboot device
3ENJOY!!
Optional: Hit Thanks
Here's a link to the Original Google+ thread:
Jishnu's Google+ Page
I did not make this mod. All credits go to Jishnu, so be sure to follow his G+ page .
Update 2:Here are some sample photos:
Have fun!

How did u flash it? Tried with cmResurrection and Validus but both give me "signature check failed, wrong footer". Now i'll try with DU...

doesn't work.
after flashing zip all apps crashes.
thanks for it
stock 4.4.4

I saw this app in m8, and it would be better camera app than stock in aosp roms.

As i said in my first post, It totally messed up the stock ROM and i had to reinstall it.But worked on DU.
But today I installed ResurrectionRemix I encoutered a problem
I dont know how I did it before, but now it doesnt work(opens app,camera error, closes app).Even the Google Camera or any other camera software dont work :crying: . I really forgot how i did it before. I think I used the system for a while and flashed it directly without wiping anything. I will try that again later today. I really want it to work again, because it is an AMAZING camera app. I hope we see the Sony camera and its processing for LP roms later in time.

It is A LOT better! The little white dots that appear in custom roms in low light are gone. The pictures look amazing(but only 8 megapixels). The focusing in just plain PERFECT and the sounds are very cool. It sounds like a real xenon flash firing. HTC did a wonderful job with the app.

It flashed without a problem. I use the multiboot version of TWRP and flash it on secondary rom, so iI can test different things without messing up the phone.

I'll try today once again

Pac ROM 4.6 4.4.4 messed up system. <made backup before flashing>

Does the phone boot? Or app crash? You can try rebooting the phone of cleaning cache. I hope we get this app working, cause it is awesome.

Can someone take a look at the files in the zip? I think there are important camera libs being overwritten, but that is just a guess. I am not familiar with the android lib system.

Yea, I don't know how it happened. It worked the first time. But then i wanted to install another lollipop rom. I flashed the zip just like the first time, but all I got was a crash . I will write back if i find a way.

YESSS!! After a bit of messing around, I found a way to get it working. I just used Root Explorer to put the files in the folders. When a message to replace a file appears , just say NO. Then i rebooted and viola-it worked. Now I will try to update the app to the newest version and report back.

BOOTING ! XPERIA Z5 Lollipop 5.1.1 Rom - Porting need help

EDIT : PROJECT DELAYED
Trying to port a custom Xperia Z1 Rom to Nexus 5.
This custom Rom has all features from Xperia Z5.
Here is base rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3224245
Edit : Advanced, see logcat
Edit 2 : fixed mediadrm fatal crash. Now, i need to fix SDCARD
Edit 3 : seems i need to fix sound
Edit 4 : Booting, as logcat says. The problem is : Google Logo stays displayed. Bootanimation doesnt displays and so, it seems it prevents phone from displaying Setup Wizard, and Android UI. Maybe the problem is "libsecureui.so" dlopen failed. I still didnt found the solution and any help would be greatly apreciated.
Heres logcat
Thanks for any help

Getting advanced a little. Now, getting an issue with sdcard. See OP

You should try removing all links to sdcard and just make it internal only, Nexus 5 don't have externalsd
Also, you'll better off porting z5 stuff to a cm12.1 base, its easier.
The official sony roms have a lot of proprietary kernel stuff that can't be ported, stamina mode is one
besides, camera wouldn't work
Do try first tho

I see, man, thanks !
I did "ro.build.characteristics=nosdcard" into build.prop. tried some other stuff and got as far as here : http://pastebin.com/bmHJQ0ke
I tried Cm12.1 and got so much other issues and inarborded cm12.1 to use UntouchedAOSP as base now.
Maybe I need to port Xperia kernel too, as Xperia z1 has kinda same hardware as Nexus 5, and that's the reason I used a custom Xperia z1 ROM

I mean making a entirely new rom using cm12.1 as a base and just port sony's launcher, systemui, lockscreen. etc
Reading the logcat, it said unknown permission for nearly all jars/apks. did you break the signature or something?
Sorry i cannot help much, its been years since i last ported a entirely new rom to a different device

I see. I don't know at all why theses permissions are fcked up. No problem man. Lollipop seems way more tricky to port. Maybe because Apk/jar are odexed

Man are u kidding me ? Its a thread about getting a port booting. It doesnt even work, so, obviously, you cant get it working on your Nexus 5.

The base Rom does not install on my nexus 5. TWRP and CWM show error. Does it have to do something with logcat?

yea probably but really still laggy when playing games, i think RepeXpersiS Z2 or Z3 based on cm11 is the best choice with ZD kernel, smooth especially when playing games but in RepeXpersiS Z3 there's lockscreen problem that when you lock your phone and unlock it right away it needs like 7-12 sec to appear, i switched my profile to performance but that problem still there!!!?

Yeah nothing is perfect, right? Im on stock right now, after trying many roms and I actually find it smooth and almost perfect for our device. Now Im just waiting for cm13 official and Stryflex MM. If I install a Lollipop rom, I choose only official cm12.1 or Stryflex.

First you should install cm11 (it's should be compatible with the version of RepeXpersiS Z2)
For example if you have FXP331 CM11 just flash it and start it normally then go to recovery again and flash the RepeXpersiS which is compatible with FXP331 cm11
i really wanted to install RepeXpersiS Z3 which required FXP347 CM11 but i really didn't find any link to download

I didnt install zd. But I bet it would give a better performance. After install cm11 and gapp you boot and do the set up at the start. Go recovery again qnd flash z3 edition. The boot after it shows you the lockscreen, just swipe up to unlock and do sony set up guide. It might be a bit laggy at first boot

Im not on that rom anymore. It's good but my phone reboot automatically 4 or 5 time yesterday. So I tried cm11 and Im satisfy with it. Although this annoying bug is still here: turn screen off and turn it back on right after that, it take sometime to turn on. It is so ANNOYING

Same, now i'm on fxp331 cm11 and Z2 edition i think it's the best, but the only problem that i don't know how to update the xperia keyboard nothing is working

Z3 and Layers/Substratum

Why does the Z3 not work properly with the Layers/Substratum. Didn't Sony actually create the code in the first place and then Google included the code at base level from MM onwards? The themes i've installed look awesome but my phone crashes every time I try to make a phone call and randomly reboots.
I'm running ExistenZ 5.1.0 (MM 6.0.1), Rooted, UB. D6603.
Is there device specific themes for layers etc?
Thanks

Thread moved to Q&A please only post questions in the Q&A sections please
Thanks

Tested a few more popular and quality looking black themes without success. I'm only really interested in black so won't try much else.
Noticed instagram crashes when updated on Black Material. Another app with a small pop up crashes on Material Glass. Need to be aware these types of crashes are going to occur on themes. Worth it for the look though!
