perhaps you're lucky now you connected to a better mirror of g-drive.

anyway just leave it then later you flash and see..

thanks but i didnt help much
just simple guide only..

you learn it yourself. so you should be proud.. at least you know when something is wrong (software related).. you no you no need to have the hassle to travel to sony center and leave it there for 1week-1 month just to get a software reflash.

4.4.2 will have a very major overhaul for its framework and systemui.

have a look here.. http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/01/20/exclu...y-d6503-sirius/

luckily for sony. a rather good looking overhaul..

and if you are rooted you definitely must install xposed.. if you heard about it before

no point unlocking your bootloader to flash CM seriously..

every single mod you see from CM/PA/AOKP = you can inject it to stock rom with the xposed app..

best part = most mods are very stable and since sony didnt alter their rom much = most of the AOSP mods available in xposed are compatible with our sony xperia z stock rom as well..

ofcuz the only ones you cannot change are the fixed UI like notification panel or something like that..

--
plus if you unlock the bootloader and flash CM = you wont get the same camera quality/features that we can get on stock.

Alot. I'll list out the useful ones tonight.

here are the useful ones for our xperia z:

xperia related:
1. long-press to specific menu (toggles)
- long-press the toggles you set to go to specific setting pages (like samsung)

2. gem xposed mod
- set transparency for 3rd party launcher (nova for example)

3. fix sony 4.3 bugs
- the installer bar is off place. this one fixes it

4. gxmod extender
- adds flash toggle (replaces it with a toggle that you do not use)

5. semc patcher
- remove the annoying data toggle nagging (notification bar and pop up msg)






more for general tweaks:
1. gravity box
- basically 95% of AOSP mods are here

2. xuimod
- adds animation to list-view, toasts and system

3. app setting
- paranoid android's per app DPI

4. instagram downloader
- well.. instagram photos downloader

5. advanced power menu
- adds reboot/reboot to recovery menu and screenshot into power button

but for xposed you have to download a special version that the developer modded to work with xperia..

its already so many pages back.. maybe try to search for the "xposed apk" keyword..

no.. GEM xposed is a module

xposed installer is different.. thats just the framework


framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
modules: http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview

but for xperia you need to download a modified version by the dev.. the normal one wouldnt work.
for the modules you can download in-app, that way its easier. no need to manage every apk updates every time.

whenever there's an update, they will tell you there's an update (not notification nag.. but when you open the xposed app and check.. similar to play store)

got voltage control?

must be some app using it..
try to see what is currently being active with appops module (if you are rooted + xposed installed)

mine i enable it 24/7, no battery drain

you can try to clear cache of the camera app..

did you give it a reformat?

Thats great

Now cant wait for 4.4.2 only

straight wait for 4.4.2 only lah

hopefully in a month's ++ time. haha..

im using that right now.. (the sound)..
but im rooted lah so i can easily replace.

even on AOSP i used the sony's sound.. more original
been keeping it on my SD card ever since

where you check? in camera settings you can switch between 2mp,5mp,9mp and 13mp in manual mode..

but mostly default is 9mp
