BAKED Blackbean-3
Flashed and running it , VERY customisable ....even more than a standard AOKP build. Apex launcher as default with a landscape dock as standard.
Loving it so far ! Lil bit buggy but still usable. ( Icons , wallpaper and widgets not in the ROM )

My Initial Thoughts
Well I'm extremely annoyed - I was promised a few bugs (OP) and there are none! Drat! I wiped everything within an inch of it's life, then flashed the ROM followed by inverted gapps. I have not had one force close, no burps, no screen flicker, nada, nothing bad in 6 hours of heavy running.
This ROM is as smooth as , well, teflon - easily the equal of any CM10 I have tried. I noted with pleasure the toggles and particularly the "put the screen to sleep toggle" (I like to save mechanical switches whenever possible) and I can never understand why other devs don't include this very simple toggle.
Truth is, I will be using this as my DD on my GTP3113 - I'm not sure that any significant improvement is warranted.
Thanks much to hjkr and the original dev for this great piece of work.

I'll be sure to pass this over to the dev - I flashed this morning, tinkered with some settings, etc. Haven't tried the inverted apps nor tried to drop Jonsels awesome kernel on it - wanted to let the dev know if anything came across this forum, I'd be more than happy to relay over to him, etc.

The camera is borked - I think this true for CM10 generally (no way to exit app) so I d/l'd Camera JB+ and will use that. Only issue so far.

This rom is really nice. I flashed the inverted gapps and after several hours of steady use I haven't even had a stutter. Kangorade was the very first rom I flashed on this tab and this is the only one I've used since with this many features. Amazing job guys. Best alpha ever...
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app

Only major issue I had when I first flashed it was, Superuser was having problems allowing permissions and it froze up once or twice and had to do a hard reboot.But it seems to have settled in now and is playing nice. Froze up a few times initially when using some apps as well Maybe it was a bad flash from AOKP ? who knows ....
Really Impressed with it so far , nice to mess about with and customise that little bit more than you can with AOKP. Pretty cool you can edit build.props ( even though i use Rom Toolbox to do it , but a good feature to have none the less).Themes work well on the ROM.
Apex in landscape is a blessing !!!! Customisable settings menu as well . For the first build its pretty damn good , will be my ROM of choice that's for sure.Cant wait for the next builds to be released.
Only thing that i can fault is when you install an app and the icon is added automatically to your home page it seems to be cut off at the bottom , but deleting the icon and adding it from the app drawer again remedies that problem ( anyone else have that ?) Not sure it that's a problem with Apex as I'm using a theme on it with custom Icons.
On the navigation bar when you add new icons they show as "reflected " in the selection menu but don't seem to work in reality , but I'm making some new ones that you can add pretty much exactly the same as the ones in the ROM with a reflection, anyone wants them send me PM and i will send them over.Got a few more to do but wont take that long.
Apart from that its a sweet ROM ! Loving it big time

I'm digging this so far. Can't seem to find anything wrong except for getting the screen to rotate when using trebuchet. Besides that all is hunky doory. Thanks! :thumbup:

what about some themes? Where can I find different nav buttons and theme colors

A full 24 hours after getting the Z, pleasantly surprised.

Moving from an iPhone5... The last time I moved from iOS to Android was the 4 to the Dell Streak and that was a decision I had regretted severely. When I first heard of the Z and watched YouTube videos, I thought this was too good to be true. A 5inch 1080p screen running the (almost) latest firmware, beautiful hardware and also waterproof? And then I heard about the mediocre battery and the washed out screen. But it was too late to back out by then and I got my Z about 24 hours ago.
Battery life is actually surprisingly good. Granted, I am on Stamina mode with only whatsapp on the whitelist but that's all I really need. It's not like I am sacrificing anything. I hardly get Facebook notifications and I don't think there is push notifications for Twitter on Android yet (correct me if I'm wrong). Unplugged at 8.30pm last night and at 3.30pm today, it's at 9% and this is with heavy whatsapping, app installs, browsing, some calls, some pictures and a few minutes of videos too. I honestly don't think my jailbroken 5 could have lasted this long.
The software itself, was OK. Installed Nova Launcher Prime with a nice theme and a beautiful widgets widget and the phone looks amazing right now and not to mention fast. Still discovering new apps and the whole experience is such a refreshing change from the stale iOS.
One weird problem I have is that the phone doesn't charge or charges at an extremely slow pace when connected to the PC. Don't know what can be the issue here.
Things I hope to get soon : Better lockscreen notifications, namely for whatsapp (Sure a third party app could do this, finding for one though), screen calibration software from Sony and stable CM, hopefully with BE included. :laugh:
All in all, I love the Xperia and am extremely glad I had made the jump. Let's see how it handles the week.

You can download "Notify me" on Google play for the whatsapp notifications. And somewhere in whatsapp settings you can enable the popups. Don't remember where though.

I think it's normal that the phone charges slowly when connected to a pc. The usb bus can't give a high enough current to charge fast.

I understand why people choose a different launcher to stock. All the transparency used causes glitches and stutters here and there but each time I change it, I find myself quickly returning that I've given up. No launcher in my opinion suits the phone more than the stock launcher.
Glad you're loving the phone, I am too.

Android 4.2.2 Update - Impressions & Reviews!

Yup, finally it's out. Though Sony promised us the update 'soon' enough, it wasn't too late either. The forums will be all over active regarding the update and it's time for us to post the reviews and impressions of the update. The following topics (not limited to) can be discussed:
1. Screen
2. Battery
3. Launcher (Even smoother then .307 if available)
4. Any camera changes (Quality wise and speed)
5. Wi-Fi coverage and stability etc.
I have update mine using the Spain FTF without wiping data and I'll post my detailed review soon. Till then and always, this thread is all yours!
My quick first find: Only the status bar is transparent and the dock isn't. Does my eyes have the problem or what? (Updated: It's just a wallpaper problem, reset it and it's all done).
Second: Camera does take 3 secs on an average to initialize, but the consecutive ones becomes noticeably faster. (Lock-screen camera opens a bit faster either)
Third: A nice animation like the screen gently fading off when screen turns off!
Fourth: Wi-Fi is as worse as before!

Oh, hope then my eyes are fine

it's great so far. almost to the point that I don't need a custom rom. The transparent nav bad is cool, while everything else on the whole is a lot smoother. For someone who frequently listen to music like me, the new lockscreen widget is a godsend!
P.S: are you the same prasad on NBR?

Hope you liked the update! My dock is not transparent though and am going for a full wipe now.
It's not me I hope

not sure if its a placebo , but I just unlocked my bootloader backing up TA and installed the CM10.1 and found the color calibration of the screen is really good with CM10 and now I relocked BL to the official 4.2.2 and screen colors are a bit light compared to CM10... anyone else observed this?

Despite system that is only getting better and smoother, some considerations about UI:
1 - The union between the lower action bar with shortcut bar, have a slightly gap, and transparency of lower action bar and transparency with glass of shortcut it's not the same, doesn't fit.
The glass effect os shortcuts is really strange, could be much better.

2 - I really have to say something? It's really strange.
3 - this white color and size, including spaces between shortcuts, it's all just strange.
UI could be more (can't remember the world) "one color", i.e. If the "theme" is to be black, than uses all color "as black as possible", not include a white stripe somehow in the middle of the UI.
Camera improves are great, but in intelligent auto is changing too fast os modes, the camera find the type os picture that I want to take but in a blink it reads again a slightly move that I do and changes to another SCN, like soft skin (?).
Wi-Fi still worst than ever.
Battery is OK, not so much improves, and is consuming more in standby so, in other words, worst than last 4.1.2 (253).

my navbar was also stay in black color after update, but I reset my wallpaper, everything is fine now.

My short review on Official Stock v4.2.2 - 10.3.A.0.423 firmware. I use ftf one as Malaysia not receiving update prompt yet.
Finally! Now it as smooth as my sister ZL which base on same firmware as well.
The smoothness is back, not like previous leak .407 which not so smooth.
Thanks Sony remain .253 screen panel color tune. Current .423 firmware color tune is same awesome.
Thanks Sony for the nice look semi transparent status bar and notification bar.
Camera quality is back! Superior Auto is working fine!
Too dark area, is better use SCN - Night Portrait.
Camera quality is outstanding, by far the best I ever seen
Sample indoor snap using v4.2.2 - 10.3.A.0.423 Superior Auto Mode.

one thing i dont like is the lockscreen: swipe up or down doesnt go away after 3 tries.

I had this problem too but with the leak. I found that it was a wallpaper app that was making it turn black. Soon as I uninstalled it, the problem went. Using zedge now and no problems so far.
Ps. Has anyone managed to charge to 100%?

Yeah!, Mine used to last 1 day with 5-6h screen time with 4.3, and with 4.4 + ART, it increased to 8-9 hours screen time!

Well, magnetic cover auto sleep-wake up cases dont work with ART so I wont be using art for quiet a while, despite better performance and longer battery.

You have to enable it under Developer options. You can always revert back to Dalvik if you like. Just bear in mind that the reboot will take significantly longer when you switch

Yeah that first reboot takes forever. It really hammers the CPU too, you can feel the heat around the back camera after it's done. But that's what you get when it's compiling at least 100 apps all at once.
So I'm now on my 3rd charge cycle with getting 3 days and over 10 hours screen on time on each charge. Excellent battery life. It's a shame the other Nexus devices don't have quite such outstanding battery life.

For those who get a over 9h of screen on time , do you have the Sync enabled ?
Are you on the stock rom ? stock kernel ? any tweaks over there ?

I changed to art over a week ago and didn't see any real difference one way or another with battery. I'm getting between 10 and 13 hours screen time with 2 emails syncing every 30 minutes, nothing else synced, I don't use Google + and Wifi always on.
I changed back from art today as I was having some problems installing a couple of apps. They would download but not install. I'll see if there's any difference in battery now.

Battery life is a few hours better, I would recommend using it.
I just got a Nexus 7 this Christmas and kept it on Dalvik for 2 days, then switched over to ART just because I was bored . I decided that I would keep it because all my apps were running very stable and fast, and my battery life was a few hours better.

Works fine with my Poetic Slimline.
Battery life is great so far on ART, no weird app problems for me yet.

I'm experiencing a significant drop in standby time. I get around a day of standby time. This is when the wifi and sync are turned off. I've factory reset my N7 and I'm now on Dalvik to see if it makes a difference.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

It does give a little more battery life, but even stock apps behave weird sometimes, very rare but i think ill stay away until ART is stable.

I just noticed that I couldn't switch to ART after rooting my device. Is this a restriction that Google has put in place?

Xposed framework was the culprit. I uninstalled it and now I'm able to switch to ART. ART+Greenify is giving me over 10-12 hours of screen time and awesome standby. I don't miss my iPad anymore.

Android Marshmallow 6.0 is out for the whole Z5 family and has awesome new features like custom app icons and app permissions.
Edit: Seems like the Marshmallow update is out is a couple of countries so it should hit us pretty soon! http://www.androidauthority.com/sony-xperia-z5-global-marshmallow-update-678243/ Or http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/07/global-xperia-z5-series-now-receiving-android-marshmallow-32-1-a-1-163/

That site was accurate to forecast Lollipop 5.0.2 release on Z3, last time it said LP is going to roll out just after a week it became the reality. BTW, we should get it sometime around early Feb to mid Feb, no reason to wait March, if yes how about wait Z6? lol

lollipop runs oke here but i cant wait for the nice app permission settings from marshmallow.

Marshmallow, like lollipop, can [email protected]#k off. Give me back 4.4 any day. Surely everyone must agree that the notifications/quick settings drawer is a step backwards. Why the hell do i need to swipe down twice to get to quick settings?
Also i cant stand everything with a white background, and considering the z5 compact auto brightness is broken out of the box just compounds the issue. Thank the devs, that that root and drm restore is apparently sorted so folks can do wtf they want with their own device because sony cant seem to make a decent job of it. Grrrr

Don't you know about the two finger trick? Use one finger for notifications, two for quick settings. Made my life a lot easier when I learnt about that trick!

Or you can swipe down once and then tap. Which is basically the same as on kitkat

Or you install Nova and have it come all the way down in one single swipe anywhere on the screen

Two finger trick? That would imply that i need to then use two hands to operate a phone i bought specifically for its small dimensions so i could do it with one. I have nova pro and it still does not override the double swipe to fully open the quick settings. In fact, when i first unlock the screen using the biometric sensor, I need to swipe down, then up and then down again to access the WiFi icon, as the quick settings only opens half way, WTF? And whats with the fat finger massive icons? I can fit all five of the icons I need in one row, yet there they are all over my screen.... I could go on!

Lol. Do you even know how to android?

All of that is secondary. I would put up with it all if I could only hide the navigation bar and have my pie controls back.....I want my PIE!
