Battery Percentage mod on stock root?

Hey bros, been out of the android game for a year so I just got back in with the One yesterday. I'm rooted but haven't installed a custom rom yet. Is there a way to flash a battery percent mod without having to flash a custom rom and set everything back up again? Thanks for your help.

Before I flash this... will this for sure work with my Stock rooted rom? I'm not sure if it's deodexed or not.

It will not work, stock rooted is not deodex. I'm assuming that all you did was unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, and flashed super su correct? Your other option might be to try modaco mod which runs on xposed app settings. I would recommend to just use a custom rom or flash the stock deodex rom though since most future mods will require you to be on a deodex rom.

That's what I'm ending up doing. OMJ's rom offers too many benefits that makes setting up again worth it.

[Q] Pushed update to 4.3 while on custom GP rom

Hey all,
Im on bigxie's Stock Android 4.2.2 Google Play Ed rom and I got the notification this morning for System Update Downloaded for 4.3.
I assume this will not work anyway but would this run the risk of bricking my phone? Also is there any way to get rid of the notification so I dont accidentally pocket install it or something?
Cheers

Are you running the odexed version? Using the stock kernel? Stock recovery?
If you have these things you will be good to go.

[Q] Is it possible to downgrade this device from 4.3 to 4.2?

:crying:
It would be my only way to get rooted..

Why??? Flash a custom recovery and use it to root. Or - even better - flash sbdags modified and rooted stock rom, or - still better - flash CROMi-X 6.0.1

Er... no... wait... what?
You can currently only root on an unlocked device. You can root on 4.2 or 4.3 it makes no difference. I made a flashable zip in the dev section But if you are going to do that go for CROMi-X 6.0.1 as berndblb says....
You can downgrade if you want btw but why?

[Q] Bootloader

Hello,
so do you guys have a thread about bootloader unlocking? Didn't find it.
And do i need to unlock it? Just root and install recovery? Like in this rom thread forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656 (i can't post clickable links yet)
And scroll down to how to install the rom and there it just is - install some firmware with flashtool, root and install recovery. Where is the bootloader stuff? Or it depends from the rom? help.

You only need an unlocked bootloader for non-stock based roms, such as Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, AOSP etc and those based off them, as they need a custom kernel.
Stock based custom roms do not require an unlocked bootloader, as long as they use an unmodified stock kernel. The rom thread will specify if you need an unlocked bootloader in most cases.

Flashing ROM with Locked Bootloader?

Hi there,
At the moment I'm running Android 4.4.2 Stock ROM, but I want to switch to MIUI V5. I would like to know if it's possible to do this while having a locked Bootloader.
P.S.: First I used the towelroot-method to get root acces, then I installed SuperSU and CWM Recovery. So that's already done.

It should be possible. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-miu-z-4-2-2-multilang-v2-5-10-3-1-2-t2467408
Just follow the steps for locked bootloaders.

Thank you for the fast reply! I'll try it. By the way are there any bugs in the ROM I've mentioned? I can't read any Chinese and Google Translation doesn't translate that well.

Isn't MIUI based on AOSP/CM? If it is, then you cannot flash it on a locked bootloader.
Edit - It seems the rom that gripfly linked to can be flashed on locked bootloaders. Disregard my post. ?

Too bad it's an outdated ROM. I would love to see the newest MIUI ROM running on this beauty, but I'm too scared to try it out and mess it up, and then risking to lose the DRM key.
Edit: Are there any good ROMS with nice GUI apart from Sony's UI for the Xperia Z? The MIUI ROM V5 is based on Android 4.2.2, which is more a downgrade than an upgrade...

There are many good ROMs on the forum.
Actually, UI varies from person to person so it's very difficult to say which one is better, you can search in the forum and find a suitable one.
As for me, I highly recommend PA which include many good features.

Locked bootloader means stock based ROMs only.
