Feel the pure taste of Xperia Z's UI on mdpi

A ROM based on zelly cream, created by gagan.u20 and ported to mdpi by saqib nazm.
Thanks to them...
:)

The "compass" app has connection with "Android OS" battery drain.If you face the problem,plz remove the compass app. If this doesn't solve the problem,disable the "location based wifi" from settings



About Xperia Z ROM

Every Sony user wants to have the look of Xperia Z's Jelly Bean firmware in their sony smartphone.Unfortunately,JB is not
available for our 2011 line.But,fortunately,there are devs,who ported the apps from the JB firmware and we can feel the taste of JB apps
on our ICS firmware.So,taking the Zelly Cream as base,I collected as many as possible JB apps,changed some files,themed some files and added them together while maintaining moderate free space in system memory. I tried to make it as close as possible to Xperia Z's JB firmware to get the taste of Z on our mdpi...

**To get full Z experience,plz select "united states" language and reapply "XPERIA" theme from Settings>Display>Theme

Activation method for x-loud,clear phase and s-force


1. Make sure "Off" preset is activated in "sound enhancements".

2. Tick x-loud,clear phase and s-force

3. Kill app via back button

* You will get working x-loud,clear phase and s-force

* Once you activate them,you can tick and uptick them till reboot and they will work.

* Try clear phase,x-loud and s-force separately. See which one is best for you.You can turn them all together.

* For me,Only "clear phase" is best,because it produces louder and clearer sound

** Set the custom preset like screenshot and feel the difference with headphones. ;) **

It hurts when I see more than 500 downloads but a few "thanks" have been given

alone in dark saqib already experienced problems by changing android version so i think it will be best if you won't change it in build. prop when you change it some apps won't install from playstore. they will say not compatible
with your android version. so the best thing will be not to touch it. wish you luck with your rom :D

great sir ! :D :good: :good: :good:

but i think if u used the XPERIA Z SystemUI & Status bar , it would be better , cuz ur ROM now looks like Zelly Cream ROM 100% , but if u added/changed some MODS or apps , it would be best ROM Ever :D !
