For me also it worked for only videos in my prev rom but my device has unlocked bl. If want be2 work on both pic n vid then the device MUST be locked bl. So i didnt tested it with relocked bl. Satisfied with be2 workin on unlocked bl.

I had relock my bootloader and tested this, it didn't work on album. But in video, even lock or unlock, it also works. I tried in 2 way, it give me the same result in video. x-reality also work with either lock or unlock bootloader in video. And you don't need to do this proccess to make your BE2 work on unlockbootloader.

Yes, before you unlock bootloader, you should back up your DRM key by using TA partition method. At that time i didn't know about it, that why i regret now
Fortunately, BE2 or X-reality is still working on unlock bootloader

For the next time, you should put the period and comma to your sentences. I confused when i read you text.
So, you open and close, then open and close again. I think this is not effect the result. Somehow it was regained automatically.
I had tried in stock-based custom rom, there is X-reality instead, but pic apps was not worked with. I just copied and set permission, i didn't flash the deoxded-stock-root zip and BE zip.

Manually move these files n set permissions. Tested for the third time n working 100%.

Please help, I updated my Sony xperoa 4.2.2 to 4.3 and since then, the video camera has not been functioning well. The camera works fine but each time I want to make a video, it tells me unknown error.

By what did you upgraded your firmware from 4.2.2 to 4.3? Sony PC Companion, OTA, or you flash FTF file with flashtool?

4K and Roms

Hello, I have some questions about Z1:
Did anyone installed 4k and Timeshift and did it work?
What's the best ROM? Now should I install custom rom or no? And how to install rom? Via Flashtools?
I installed a custom theme, but it just changed the main screen wallpaper and nothing else. It's rooted (757). Someone told me to choose the default theme and reboot phone, then again choose custom theme. Is that true?
It has a bit delay when I press the power button to unlock the phone. It's about 4-5 seconds more than usual. It made after I flash it to Kitkat 4.4.2. I don't know why, but I have this issue. How to solve it?
Thanks all

Hi...
For that 4K hysteria - belive me, that's nothing special.
Device sometimes (Z2) FC because overheating (after all, Z2 and Z1 have snapdragon 800- 801 is just a fancy new number, it's same cpu just overclocked to 2.3).
One min video takes 500MB of space and I rarely us it...
Timeshift is awesome and it's work great if I can remember well..
Questions like what's the best ROM aren't allowed on XDA so I'll skip that..
Try few of them and you'll find what's best for you.
For custom themes you have to patch services.jar - si, you have to install superuser mod or use Xposed module called "Xperia Xposed" by serajr - that module will automatically patch services.jar (will disable signature check)
No, you don't have to apply stock then custom, that's good advice for CM ROMs and themes in that ROMs.
If you have superuser, deodexed ROM and rooted device (of course) you'll be able to see custom themes.
Don't know about that "lag" but you could check RAM consumption, maybe there's a solution.
Or try to go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik (don't rush there, many guys reported they did full wipe after trying only cache wipe)

Thanks. When I was about to install Deodex Rom, so after installation, a post said that I should clear dalvik-cache, and so I did it.
For this part "For custom themes you have to patch services.jar - si, you have to install superuser mod or use Xposed module called "Xperia Xposed" by serajr - that module will automatically patch services.jar (will disable signature check)" I did not got anything, because I'm not pro in android phones. Z1 is my first smart and android phone.
And so, I don't know how to patch services.jar-si
It's rooted of course, and I have SuperSU, lucky patcher, and recently installed moded Google Play.
Is that installed? How should I install it? Or how should I get it?
And about Timishift, it's and amazing addon for camera, just I wanna it. I know that some users reported Sony about overheating of 4k in Z2. My phone itself records 2K, and sometimes I face low memory.
That's the thread:

Sorry again. I'm a beginner and my English is not well enough to understand properly these threads and posts.
I read your thread, but I have some questions:
What's NUT 534 firmware? I flashed my phone to 757 via flashtools. Should I flash it again?
I unlocked my BU and rooted it, and so I have CWM or CMW (I don't know which one is correct). And again I should download and install Dual Recovery?
And should I download both Xposed Module and Serajr Xperia Module?
So, now because I have recovery mode, it means there isn't need to flash again?
Now my brain is overheated!
Please help me

Just install xposed framework and serjar module, then the 4k mod
If you have unlocked the boot and have recovery you are all ready to just install the 4k mod by flashing it in recovery then clearing the data in settings/apps for the named apps
just like it says in the OP of the 4k thread

[Q] Can we make a AOSP-Rom for Locked Bootloader?

Hi,
i have a Xperia Z1 with non-unlockable Bootloader. I just love AOSP-Roms but those Roms are just for UB. But can someone make a AOSP-Rom for LB? I think many Users would love that...

Please post questions in the Q&A section,
Thread moved
And to answer your question. No, it needs an unlocked bootloader as AOSP roms require a different kernel to the stock Sony one.

Just to add to the above answer: no, the kernel is different so therefore since you cannot flash a custom kernel on LB, you won't be able to use AOSP.

I think he means use Sony kernel but try port aosp to sonys firmware

And why it work for xperia sp?

The Xperia SP have just 4.3 and on this Kernel work a Custom-Rom wich is at 4.4.4:

Well i can see that all of that "features" can be made only with root access and Xposed framework modules, and few mods.
Deep in framework, rom is still close to sony stock rom.
For example, everything you can make with apps or mods, except OTA update (for pac), and CM themes.
Everything else is pretty much on google play, and some mods on XDA.
If you want pure AOSP feel, you need to unlock bootloader, this is, how to say, kang version of PAC.

If you say me how to get the flip settings from AOSP on 4.4.4 i would be happy

There is an xposed mod for it
