Xperia z rom for galaxy s3
ROM] [20APR][XXEMC3] ~ XperianZe 0.9.9 ~ [Xperia Z inspired][AROMA][JKay][Elegant]
Presenting my first ROM:
This is my first ROM that I'm releasing. So be gentle, but I've done my best on this rom.
The rom is inspired by the amazing new Sony Xperia Z phone.
I've ported many apps and media directly from the Xperia Z system dump (10.1.A.1.434)
You will get, as close as it can be, the real Xperia Z experience on your Galaxy S III (i9300)

FAQ: - It's STRONGLY ADVICED to BUY the JKay Deluxe Settings app from the Play Store with this ROM! (I won't earn anything from the app, since its made by _JKay_, and not by me) You will get MANY extra features/options with the JKay deluxe settings app! For example:
You only need to download the JKay Deluxe Settings app from the Play Store! - If there's an newer JKay framework out (that isn't in this rom yet) then you can follow this guide to update to the newer JKay framework: Click Here! - If you wanna have the Samsung lockscreen: Open the JKay Deluxe Settings app -> Select 'Circle' And disable this: Set common options -> de-activate 'Transparent status bar' - The Jelly Bean lock screen in the JKay settings app is the Xperia Z lock screen. - You can only change the lock screen wallpaper for the Circle (Samsung) lock screen via the usual method... Or you can use this method to change the lock screen wallpaper for the Xperia Z lock screen: For XperianZe 0.9.7.2+: Use the 'Lock Screen' shortcut in your app-drawer to change the lock screen wallpaper, and make sure you use the Sony album app to crop your image, when it get asked. - When you use the Xperia Z lock screen, you will see 0.3 - 0.5 second your original lock screen wallpaper when you unlock, this is the fix - For the people who can't change the lock screen wallpaper for the Circle (Samsung) lock screen: Make sure this option in JKay deluxe settings app is de-activated: Under 'lock screen options'; set common options -> de-activate transparant status bar. Now set a lock screen wallpaper with the Samsung Gallery. The Sony album app won't work. - Standard you will have a Blue Xperia battery mod icon by ksr007 in the status-bar, not the one in the screenshots: Can be fixed using the JKay Deluxe Settings app from the Play Store: Statusbar options -> de-activate 'Hires battery icon' - You can find an Circle battery mod in the Aroma installer, to get the old Circle battery statusbar icon back (which was in XperianZe 0.9.6.1 and older) - If you wanna fix the gap between the data arrows and the data icon in the statusbar, then enable this option in the JKay app: Statusbar options -> activate 'AOSP data layout' - If Multi window mod doesn't work for 3rd party apps: Fix: Activate the 'All apps support multi window' option in the JKay Deluxe Settings app, reboot after that. - If you use one of the Xperia Z launchers; then make sure that you set the 'Window animation scale' in Developer options at least at .5x, when you select 'Animation off' then you will have problems with launching apps in the Xperia Launcher. - If you are having problems with Phone calls, make sure you have a recent Modem/baseband installed! A few good modems are: XXELLA, XXEMB1 & BUEMA1 You can find them in the General modem thread: Click here! Since XperianZe 0.9.6 I deliver the newest modem (XXEMB6) with the rom. - If you did choose for the Boeffla, the Adam or the Shark kernel in the Aroma installer, then you can use the Boeffla sound control app from the Play Store, to tweak your sound. See post #2 for a link to the app in the Play Store. - You can Backup/restore your JKay Deluxe settings in the JKay app with the Menu key! (don't forget to restore it after a wipe / ROM upgrade) |

Bugs: - Sometimes the Aroma installer freezes... You need to reboot in recovery again then (Long hold: Vol+, Power button and Home button till Samsung screen comes up) and try it again. Some porting 'bugs': - You can't edit the song info with the Sony Walkman app. - The Walkman FaceBook 'Like' function doesn't work |

How-to Install: - Do a Data/Factory reset first in CWM (if you come from another rom, or XperianZe 0.9.7.2 and older) - Start the installation - Read the instructions in the Aroma installer - Choose carefully the packages you want in the Aroma installer. - Install the rom (the installation script of this rom will wipe the following partitions automatically for you: Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Preload.) - Enjoy the Rom!  - Do NOT restore app data or system apps with Titanium backup, this can cause many problems. (applies to any rom) Install extra add-ons after installation: - If you want to install some other add-ons after you've installed the rom, then just start the Aroma installer again, just select the option 'Only Add-ons' in the Aroma installer and select the add-ons you want to install. |
