4.2.2 the lockscreen kind sux. Always i power on to the lock screen it will show somekind of page layout for like 1 sec before disappear. Look very ugly the thing.
Then somemore can scroll 1. I use pattern unlocking so sometime it will scroll to other page instead of unlock the phone.

hmmm...
for me the pattern unlocking always lock me in that page
to scroll
i have to touch to the very side edge or swipe the top part

Pure x audio is good
the v19 is only for new version of walkman
the current stock walkman on xperia z 4.2.2 even would have the walkman missing issue

i would like to have the improvemen of pure x audion
but too bad it messes with the bluetooth connectivity

andrewtst

  1. BACKUP any critical data to microSD
  2. Copy this rom zip package to microSD
  3. Flash stock Sony's firmware (FTF) 10.1.A.434 (for android 4.1.2) or 10.3.A.0.423 (for android 4.2.2) using flashtools
  4. Root using any available method
  5. Install any available recovery (TWRP recommended)
  6. Reboot in recovery, do factory reset & install rom until finish
  7. Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times)
  8. Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.
  9. Turn on phone. Done.


Andrewtst

I am from a rooted .423 with lock bootloader, so I guess I need to use the 1st instructio in Monx page, show above

what i dun understand is instruction #8

8. Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

Do i need to find some firmware or something?

Hi sorry if this question was asked before, I can't really catch up with this thread. How do I take a screenshot? I already updated my xz to version 4.2.1
*
press power button+volume down together to capture screenie in jpeg format

or use the small app (blue colour) to capture in temp folder png format
that can be used directly in the Notes app

For any consolations
For the guy on Honami with the problem when he playing the Walkman and lockscreen causes the problem like jumpy upon powering up the lock screen

Well I narrow down to what causes on my Z Honami port
I have install the Smart key app from Sony and the 1st option causes this problem
The receiving call and idle option don't make the problem
Even when the playing option is left with "no action" setting
The problem persist

Really too bad
As the smart key app is quite nice

i am from 4.1.2 if i wanna flash 4.2.2 stock rom do i have to wipe everything? tq..

down to your preference
by default the update from sony themselves wont wipe anthing
so you can continue using the phone as normal

but people said that the 4.2.2 update is laggy
(i cant feel it)
but compared to honami rom, it does show some laggyness

Finally flashed with monxDIFIED ESSENTIAL i1 rom.
The UI really smooth now, more fluid animation, cleaner and simpler.

However I notice that its home launcher cannot create folder?
I always organize my apps into some folder to keep my home launcher as less pages as possible.
*
drag one app over the other to create folder
ap on the "folder" word to change the name

A questions for those:

1. Using Xperia Z
2. Using Monxdified Honami 1i mod ROM
3. Using Xposed-App setting to change apps DPI

I am using the one posted by Andrewtst, the one with the dual page setting

Settings
- Change to DPI 270 & Screen (dp) 1000x1600
user posted image


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


and for the life of me have issues in only one of the setting page.
The Call Settings page will always open in a new page instead of appearing on the side page

Do anyone have this issues?

im not using the full honami, but honamix by monx. could it be because of honomi port? even the track id background kinda look different where u can see an earth at the bottom side.

On 244 firmware
this exhibits the same issue

Did you solve the phone keypad off center problem for non honami modding the DPI?


QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Aug 1 2013, 04:28 PM)
Use my setting, you need separately set for TrackID, it will run perfectly after that.

I mean you need set TrackID apps also by following my setting in that link.

On stock rooted, and buildprop change to 360

and some of the setting is ot compatible
Contact setting will make the keypad offset to the right
Track ID will have the pink background and missing logo, not using any setting would not have any issue

Settings if use 270 and 1000X1600, the call setting will pop up another small window (on honami, the setting page will change another page and require back)
Xperia setting have the same problem of jumping to another new page instead of to the right of the setting list


sigh...
seems like have to go back to full honami mod

some of the thing not seen in 244 Monx Honami Mod
1. Side Swipe Menu in Apps Drawer
2. Different Keyboard
3. to be continued (with pic)

hi guys, have few questions bout custom dpi, i'm doing 320 in build prop.
I'm trying to get the settings in tablet mode, but after setting accordingly to First post, it seems still the same. And how to get play store run in tablet mode as well?

and 320 dpi will it break apps compatibility in play store?

edit : manage to done so, forgot to enable app settings in xposed laugh.gif, so will 320 dpi break apps compatibility in play store?
*
Frontpage instruction only works in Honami Full mod
Stock FW cannot use the 320dpi buildprop mod
to many corruption
Even Honamix by Monx is on stock FW with honami addons

I tried out and best work in Honami 1i Monx
Other i dunno

fast dormancy means the phone is always keeping some minor connection to the com tower

if implemented properly
whenever the phone started idle, instead of disconnecting immediately
the phone-tower communicate to lower the power range, step by step until completely disconnected
what the time between jumping from one setting to another is up to the com tower setup

what waste power here is when the fast dormacy policy is not implemented or properly done
thus whenever the phone is idle
it didnt received the signal to go down to lower power range of the policy
thus alway was set at the maximum power usage

being total disconnected also have its caveat as turning on the phone again, the signal have to go through process to reconnect
thus consume more power every time it wakes up and reconnect

that is the essence to fast dormancy policy as i know
with proper implementation, it is good, minimizing power usage, but still keep a low power connection to avoid reconnection process
implement bad or none means the com tower failed to send signal to the phone to power down, thus consumes more battery power
