A Full Wipe is REQUIRED before flashing this rom. If you choose not to do this (for who knows what reason) please do not post any problems you are having!
Please note that because all apks have been optimized and rebuilt for maximum efficiency, themeing carelessly will break these optimizations

Can not wait to flash this rom. Your past roms have all been excellent. Thanks for comtributing.
I would encourage everyone to try this rom. His work with the evo and dinc are amazing.

nope. this rom is not deodexed so the mod has to be done differently. right now that is top priority for me as that icon bugs the hell out of me. i also plan on taking out the ADB notification, Alarm, and headphones.

Any chance of getting an aosp rom oit of you?

That's what I figured. I meant to say odexed but it got auto corrected to opened. Glad your working on it. It's really not a big deal but like you said its just annoying. It's completely pointless.

Ideias for Blitz ROM by JynAlek(GT-i8190 ONLY)

As agreed I decided to open this topic to discuss new ideas for a custom ROM based on Stock 4.1.2, as none of the CyanogenMod can please many users, we will discuss ideas and features for the ROM, I will put my ideas here on the tread later.
My goal is make a fast and slim stock custom rom, with good features for everyone use most of her S3 mini, then everyone can give ideias to implement on this ROM

Ok idea 1.add Fly-On mod or something similar.
2.i think it should have xposed framework installed from the beginning. .as an option of course.

3. Quick settings like when you swipe the statusbar with two fingers ?

I do not think much about visual Lollipop, I think of a visual fit for the ROM, giving more personality to it

Power saver mode galaxy S5 is impossible I think, but we have this application that does the same and is more efficient

Just give us a build test

New thread but nothing to test. Will you give us any release date or we will be waiting forever ? Give us something .

Well, since make a good visual is hard and i terrible themer, i will upload with s5 theme and some things i made, its unfinished but its time for a release

Yeah! We need to test

What i made this days:
Changed lots os apks from Sammy(all laggy and heavy), aosp/cm apps(messenger from PAC 4.1,aosp browser fully working, desk clock)
Heavy cleaned up on all ROM(lib,APP,framework, and all others folders)
Add my personal engine for speed and battery saver
Add some things from stamina mode of xperia devices(unfinished)
Tweaked CSC folder, build.prop
Ported DSP manager from CyanogenMod 10.1
And more some little things

Sounds good is there a four way reboot that will work with xposed framework?

4 way reboot menu was "broken" with the theme S5, but using the gravity box with the reboot menu option everything is perfect, then the ROM will not get trouble at the end: D

Sounds great. Godd job

Ok give us a tester then jyn.
Btw:how about putting the pie control in there (forgot the name) like the Tokorom it's a great bit of kit and if you set it up it would be good for the first time user to get to the right apps and options.

Discussion - What ROM Features You Prefer To See ? - LP 5.1

Hello everyone,
I'm cooking a good taste ROM, but i don't like to make a " known " ROM features, with nothing new .
So, what do you prefer to see in a Custom ROM for Lollipop 5.1 for our beloved Xperia Z1 ?

good job bro in your upcoming rom realize I wish a rom with new Sony concept with 4K record a good sound mod. battery also the main problem in lollipop roms, no roms now Can compare with kitkat screen time anyway brother every one has a different wishes so I hope you wont be confused with people's complaints and questions
Good Job

double tap to wake, good sound mod and 4k video recording.

1. 300% total blacked out lollipop 5.1.1. firmware.
Yes, I supercalifragilisticexpialidociously hate the constantly changing colors. Don't get me wrong, the matte look is what I like, which is why I have 2 motorcycles that are both matte black colored, but this chameleon thing is just.... @#$%^&*() !!!!
2. Put back the original Sony Walkman logo & app please, same look (but blacked out), same feel, same menu/configuration screens/options BUT with a much louder audio output that doesn't break the audio quality when the volume is cranked up.
3. Highly, extremely debloated right off the bat but fully functional smartphone. Please have a look at this.
4. No added "Settings" on the Settings page.
5. No modified About phone page.
I honestly do not know if this is possible. You can have the Developer option already listed in the Settings page, but on the About phone page, at the bottom where is says Build number. Turn that into an option so when tapped on, the it opens another page with all the About ROM, About Kernel, About Author, About etc., put on for custom firmwares. So in that way it looks like a stock and official Sony firmware, but it really isn't.
6. Native double tap to wake and double tap to sleep function
7. Time lapse
Not a fan of 4K recording too because it eats too much space, not all phone can readily watch 4K recordings yet. Same with TV sets unless your the ultra rich or you always have to have the newest TV set that has 4K option on it.
8. Manual Camera controls like that of DSLR
Off course it still won't compare to the real DSLR cameras but to at least have a much better control over the camera would be nice.
8. Full screen contacts picture
9. Child lock
I don't know if you can ever call it native or embedded, but a child lock that isn't a 3rd party app I guess would be nice.
10. App lock
Like that of Clean master. Also same with #9. I don't know if you can ever call it native or embedded, but a non-3rd party app too.

A highly debloated ROM with a good sound mod and some screen saturation controls along with better battery tweaks and double tap to wake.

Sony concept OS in our device would be superb.
Full layers compatibility would be great too.
Sent from the future.

im a big fan of customization, so hopefully there is some difference.

Do you mind with a ROM size 1.6GB ?
Offcourse the actual ROM isn't 1.6 it's a light ROM, but with Mods selection and Aroma it's 1.6GB .
So you can control the ROMs Mods not the opposite.

Thats awesome that you are asking before, so are u planning AOSP or Stock?

Hi bro, maybe u can change sound control cause youtube sound is very low.. ?

@abo hani - suggestion if you don't mind: put up a poll if people would like Sony Stock or AOSP. And oh, yeah I'm reading more and more about layers - I like the total black out it's giving at least on the screenshots shown in Google Play store. If layers will keep the customization-friendliness going but maintaining the debloated-ness (if even remotely possible) that would be cool.

Stock offcourse, i'm not seeing " awesome " stock ROMs, every dev is putting random Mods, and i've tested most of the ROMs, they are not good as expected .

I'm gonna develop a stock based ROM, AOSP ROMs are not in my developing region, if you mean " dark / light " apps, yeah .. i'm gonna put them and believe me, the users gonna control the ROM features in every way, so you gonna feel like a ROM dev when you put your own customization .

@abo hani if you can add these too to your list it would be awesome: Battery Life, atleast a average day's use like 6+ SOT should be good.... Awesome sound experience, i am not saying stereo mod, Just a lot louder than stock and good clear audio... Camera mods would be good, even some third party camera apps, if they really improve the performance...
Last of all and most important, it would be good if it is a UltraSlim version of stock, like just OS with fully operational phone... And if needed add the rest as add-ons... I would prefer to have the mods implemented directly than using Xposed...
That's all.... That should be perfect.... I am not asking for an ETA (You can just skip it if you want to) but when you are planning to start it?? (Just Curious)
Are you going to use a existing kernel or you are cooking a new one for your rom??(Again Just Curious)

Kernel, i will put an option, i won't force the user to use a kernel, you can either use the kernel in options or the current one.
for ETA, i've already designed the banners & logos .. and put the plan for it, gonna start tonight
You won't be disappointed

Please take a look at the system UI icons. The mobile signal and the battery icon are too far away from each other, it makes our status bar very ugly IMHO.

So excited?????

What are my theming options?

Played with ROM's on my N2, got the N4 on opening day and have been busy ever since.
Just now slowing down enough to consider playing. I've tried a few of the newer ROM's and they are great. Especially like the OBAR. However visually I would like something similar to the Alliance ROM. Something with lots of choices of pre-made themes as well as the ability of granular tweaks to the theme. Unfortunately while it does boot I am having too many issues with it and a majority of themes do not even have a preview. Nor do a lot of the settings seem to work. (Yes I did flash the color fix.)
I'm on 5.1.1 COK1 (well Alliance is 5.0.1 but I'm headed back to OBAR)
Give me a head start, is there any framework, app or ROM that I should start looking at?
What are your suggestions...
Thanks in advance
MBK

I was searching for this theming options too... i like to be stock but really liked the note 5 and htc theming apps and official theme stores. They are deep and change the whole phone personality..
Wondering if any here using or know best ways to use stock themes app for sprint note 4??

sp far the best way to theme is either get a note 5 port that allows you access tot he samsung store to get thier themes
or you can use xposed which works great for me because im using Hybrid 3.0

Thanks for the reply, I admit I haven't delved in deep to xposed but I thought it allowed you to tweak things. Wasn't aware there were full blown themes available in it. I'll have to check it out.

Yea i me either but it works well since Android 5.1 seems to be soo hard to theme.
xposed seem to be pretty stable but you will have to try out modules to your liking
i use wanam of course but xblast and screen off animation modules
well to give me these lil tweaks but you can do much more
the fan on the side is pie but the screen off gives me my crt off animation and more

Which FREE/PAID THEME you are using on your Xperia SP?

Either you are using stock 4.3.3 or CM 12.1 or 13 (as CM Theme Engine is really powerful), share the name of theme you are using and if possible share link from where you have downloaded. No warez links please.
Screenshots of home-screen would be highly appreciated. :laugh:

I use Levo by Pixkart (CM12 theme)
It is not a theme, to be exact, but it is an app to generate a theme, from which you can manually choose colours for different apps! It is the most customisable CMTE theme i can find so far, and I really recommend you to use it!
Sadly though, the development is on hiatus and on a slow pace because the developer had an accident. But he really did teased a screen shot of the upcoming Levo that would completely support CM13 theme engines! I can't wait for it
Oh yeah and I have to say although the theme works fine on CM13, it would still give some minor problems to your CM13 experience. One problem i find so far is the Accounts section in Settings crashing.. Other than that it still excels very well!
It is kind of expensive if you ask me, but hey it is quite a masterpiece for me and you should definitely try it! If it is boring, or not worth your money, you can always get a refund immediately after purchase
Also i can't give any screen shot because i am not currently using the theme. But still, that is because of my lust for ultimate stability. Nah jk, actually i kind of quite often go to the Accounts section, so having the Settings crashing isnt really fun.. So i have to adapt to the boring stock theme until the new Levo pops out on my Play Store update notification
Another creation of the same person is named as Prozt. Although it is not as customisable as Levo, it is also customisable to some extent too. You might want to check it out too

I use my Xperia Z5 theme and Xperia X for CM12 and CM13
