As long as I remember, there was a button at up right of toggles. Pressing that allowed us customize toggles. After pressing that, With touch and hold we could move toggles and tapping on them enabled/disabled them :)

I know how to add / remove the toggles. What I mean is if there's a way to change the size of the icons and make the picture larger.

Something is wrong about my internal memory after i install rom

when i go to storage info , it stuck on calculating , or when i go to apps and see info of apps it`s stuck on calculating size of app and phone will restart after a few minutes , strange thing is i can install app without problem or work with both Internal and SD card with file manager

Phone are work super fast , but i get not respoding a lot in Telegram or Clash after load and it happends a lot

i try to install fresh official Roms and then install this rom as instruction , do all wipes and ...

but no success at all , the offical 9.2.A.2..5 rom does not this problem at all and i really love to install this rom ( smoother and lighter)

Hey, I don't know if this topic is still active,but,if it is,great rom,great look,very smooth and fast ,(not a big fan of Lolipop-very laggy on this phone, Kk is more suitable for this device today)but ,I'm having one problem with kernel. Off screen over the night ,baterry is drops from 87% to 30%. I couldn't read 119 pages for a solution, but,if someone has one related to kernel,not apps for battery ,it would be nice to share it with me :)):D I use fixed neo kernel..:cool:

Dude,with sd card read-ahead tweak,this baby works like a charm! Fast,smooth, battery life with omni kernel is AWESOME,really like the combination of aosp-stock, 10/10. And also,best thing is dumping a large amount of useless apps (at least -to me as a regular user)

    Welcome to NeoWave™ rom! :)

    fykgFUp.png


    Introduction:
    I have always liked the unique Sony UI - but it comes with a big downgrade in terms of performance, at least when using stock roms. So I switched to AOSP.
    Faster? Yes. More stable? Yes. But the Holo interface could never impress me. That's why I decided to combine two different worlds - beauty and performance.
    Here is the result of more than a hundred hours of compiler flag experiments, intense theming and bugfixing.

    ROM Features:
    • Based on stable Omnirom 4.4.4 sources
    • Compiled with Linaro toolchain and O3 flags (highest possible optimization level on Android - you WILL notice a difference!)
    • Odexed and debloated user build
    • Smooth, resource-saving and fast thanks to only 60mb system app size compared to 130mb on pure OmniRom
    • Awesome sound thanks to Viper4Android (check out this website to get to know V4A)
    • Themed to look and feel like the latest Sony firmware, including a complete Z3 framework
    • Switchable accent colors and lots of add-ons for a unique experience! Your phone - your rom - your style! :)
    • Original Z3 Home and Clock Widgets, Xperia Keyboard and full-featured Walkman
    • Still fully ART-compatible!

    Kernel Features:
    • Based on latest CyanogenMod 11 kernel source
    • Compiled with Linaro 4.7 and O3 flags for maximum performance
    • Finally Overclocking on KitKat - up to 1.62GHz!
    • Default CPU voltage decreased for maximum battery life and less heating
    • User-customnizable VDD Voltage driver (thanks to faux123)
    • MSM MPDecision - an intelligent hotplug driver from Bricked Kernel for N5 (thanks to show-p1984)
    • Bricked Thermal driver (thanks to show-p1984)
    • Replaced CWM in CM11 kernel with TWRP (big thanks to Alx31TLse)
    Be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device!
    Only use the stuff above if you know what you're doing!


    I recommend checking out Knutselmaaster's thread to get started with kernel tweaking. :)

    In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.


    Known Bugs:
    Any bug reports are greatly appreciated as I am aiming for a most stable user experience.
    However, make sure to include a log or screenshot, as even a very detailed description cannot include all information I need to track the issues down. :)
    • All known and unknown Omni bugs. (Zero battery bootloop fixed - Bluetooth pairing can be fixed by flashing this.)
    • Exchange doesn't work. If you need it anyway, install this app: Link
    • CertInstaller force closes. For a fix, install this app before importing your certificates: Link
    • Z2 style Clock widget doesn't show AM/PM. (Tempoary fix: Select 24 hours time format in settings.)

    Installation:
    Following the steps below, you accept that I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your device while installing or using this rom. :)
    • Make sure your bootloader is unlocked - if not, follow this guide: Link
    • Enter recovery
    • Do a factory reset and wipe system partition
    • Flash latest neo-4.4.4-tsubasa.zip
    • Flash latest neo-patch.zip (if any available)
    • Flash "GApps Minimal 4.4.4" and "AOSP Calendar Sync 4.4.4 Addon" packages from here and here
    • Flash latest SuperSU from here: Link
    • Reboot

    Updating:
    Updating NeoWave to the latest version is as simple as:
    • Flashing the latest rom or patch zip from Downloads section
    • Flashing your add-ons and accent colors again (optional)
    • Rebooting
    No need to wipe cache/dalvik cache unless noted otherwise. :good:


    Downloads:
    • NeoWave ROM: Link (Last updated: 2014-10-08)
    • NeoKernel based on CM11: Link (Last updated: 2014-10-22, fixed root issues on CM11 roms)
    • NeoKernel based on Omni: Link

    Add-Ons:
    In this section you will find ported Xperia apps that are confirmed working by other users.
    Please note that I cannot test all of those apps myself, and that I cannot fix any of their bugs. Not everything might be working 100%, so DO A BACKUP before flashing!
    Also, make sure to press thanks for the developers that made it possible to run those apps on AOSP. :)

    Maintained by me
    • Z3 Home with no auto-rotation: Link (flash zip in recovery)
    • BlinkFeed compatible with NeoWave's accent colors: Link (flash in recovery)(Big thanks to gakugaku!)
    • Omni Kernel without additional features: Link (flash this if you run into issues with the included NeoKernel)

    Working on ART
    • Z3 Album: Link (install as normal app)
    • Z2 Movies: Link (install as normal app)
    • Z2 Walkman with changing background color: Link (install the version for Viper4A users)

    Not working on ART
    DO NOT FLASH when using ART runtime!
    You could get a hail of force closes and be unable to use your device without wiping data!
    • Z2 Calendar: Link (remove system/app/Calendar.apk and system/app/Calendar.odex before flashing)

    Other nice stuff:
    • Apple Color Emoji: Link (Big thanks to angelsel)
    • Viper4Android Starter Pack: Link (For information on how to use this, check out this page)
    • Holofied TWRP Theme: Link (Really awesome UI, using this one myself)

    Version 1.2.2 is out. :)

    I released a complete new rom zip because I won't be able to do much development work in the upcoming months.
    This is due to my real life eating lots of time now that I have to study again.
    Expect the next big update somewhen around christmas. :D
    (Unless - of course - a big issue appears out of nowhere. ;))

    Finally all device dependant bugs, including bluetooth pairing, are fixed.
    I disabled cpu hotplug by default to work around the music issues some people were experiencing.
    Also, I tried to fix most of the annoying bugs, like Torch turning off, for example. :good:

    See OP for a more detailed changelog and a link to download the new version. :)

    Thanks to all 200 users for always supporting my work and helping where they can to improve this project! :)
