== FAQ & HELP ==​

== PC Companion still tells me there is a newer update for my XZ? ==
- Download latest stock ftf
- Download and install latest Flashtool
- Choose to flash the ftf, but:

- exclude system!
- Uncheck all wipe options!​

- Enjoy my latest rom with latest stock Sony kernel, baseband etc

== XZ Revolution Tweaks Force Closes ==
- It will force close on first run for some unknown reason, just reopen it from settings and it will work

== Lockscreen music controls not working with headset plugged in? ==
- This is because of the Clearaudio+ app from Rizal Lovins
- Delete Clearaudio+.apk from /system/app
- Delete headset.so from /system/lib

== No sound when selecting ringtone or notification tone (works on incoming call or notified event) ==
- No solution yet, but could be related to the above.

== Walkman app sometimes just closes (without any FC message, just closing) ==
- Probably something some people can have, others won't. Didn't had this problem myself and I also listen quite some music myself

Do you NOT read the directions???

I know this is NOT the place but I cant test the ROM as I DONT know how to Flash a recovery. The Only Method seems to be ADB which I CANT do. Any other ways?

 

[anirudh412]

Is it necessary we be on the latest .434 firmware prior to flashing this ROM? I am on stock .350 now.
