[ROM][5.1.1][LB/UB]HybridRom Concept EditioN V2.0 New Kernel - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

HybridRom Concept EditioN​
Description:
We all got used to the idea that most stable ROM is a Stock one.
This ROM will prove you otherwise.
Main Futures:
Very fast and responsible ROM based on Z3 aosp concept and GPE libs with amazing battery life and memory management.
Perfect combination of Sony and Google apps.
No bloatware, no adds.
Only 400 megabytes.
Optional modifications.
Installation options:
Feel free to install the rom the way you want it:
Wanna install & forget?
Then LB version without any mods is your choice.
Care about security and want to have nexus like phone?
Then don't install recovery on top of LB version , with encryption your internal storage can be only erased and only using a computer.
Are you advanced user who'd like to experiment with their phone?
Feel free to install mod for theme support and kernel for advanced futures.
You can also convert your phone into a hacking device. (Like in watch dogs game )
Change log:
V2:
Updated Sony and Google apps
Removed:Browser,Google Now,Gmail,Viper,Video(support implemented in Album) and some other bloatware.
Fixed Sony Sound Enhancements
Fixed Write To SD Card (I hope so)
Added new weather widget
Bugs:
Some people might have 5ghz wifi connection problem
In case of the using LB version and Universal Patch, trying to reboot into recovery using advanced power menu will result a bootloop. (System is trying to access a part of kernel which is not available on LB version]. Solution: reboot into flash mode and back.
Wifi may disconnect during screen off no matter the settings. (This is android problem, not my rom)
Installation Instruction:
Make sure that your Bootloader is Unlocked.
Boot in TWRP.
Wipe system,data,and both caches.
Flash the ROM.
FOR LB USERS ONLY: Flash this kernel on top. (Thank @scrubber for that one )
Then (optional,but not recommended) flash recovery for locked bootloder from here
Reboot device.
Prepare to be amazed.

FAQ:
Things you need to know:
Before reporting bug reports make sure that you use this rom without any mods such as Xposed
"App XXX crashes" posts won't help me to understand the problem, learn how to use logcat.
Don't ask for ETA
Before asking something, make sure it wasn't asked before
If you ignore my rules - I will ignore you
Q: Will Xposed work?
A: Yes, but install on your own risk, don't complain if battery life will become worse.
Q: Are themes supported?
A: RRO Layers are. Use Layers Manager + LPThemer(Xposed)
Q: Option "double tap to wake" in settings is not working
A: It's kernel related,so this option won't make any difference.
Q: Can I use old Hybrid Rom v1.x Kernel?
A: It will work, but deep sleep won't, so you will have a massive battery drain.
Q: Are you going to port Sony futures such as stamina,small apps and etc.
A: No, as this requires to use Sony framework. This rom is different. If you want stock futures - take a look at my other projects.
Q: How to allow 3rd party apps to write to SD card?
A: Use this app, you can remove it after applying the fix.

probably theme engine would not work . Its aosp based with limited sony framework to make only essential sony apps work .This was a new bloatware free concept rom from sony itself.
Ahh @Uncle Lucifer waiting for my exams to get over asap to get back to testing this rom

Nope, it's AOSP Z3 Concept and GPE based.
Clean AOSP Rom with Sony look and Apps.
P.S. If you will have problems with installation, you can try "Modem fix" from GPE thread, as I've heard that ZUltras for Indian market don't like gpe modem.

---

Well it nowhere says that it needs to flash gapps, so no, there's no need

Because I don't have any .zip of gapps on my sd0 I guess you don't need to flash gapps. And flash instructions says none of gapps needed.
Theres no harm to just boot the rom and see if gapps is there. If its not well then u dont have any google apps in your drawer.
edit: the rom is 450MB big...I'd be surprised to see gapps not included in such big file
edit2: in the description it says "Some Google apps removed, others replaced with stock ones." ...lol gapps is included for sure.

Will try this rom later.

Work fine so far on my c6802 with exposed (v74), WiFi work as it should
No modem fix needed (encounter sim card not detected on first boot, but mobile data work just fine :silly

Rom is really smooth. Menus just fly by very smoothly without any skips or lag! No errors or anything. Everything is stable from what I experience.
I am very impressed with your work @Uncle Lucifer

Tried the ROM for a couple of hours. Amazing and smooth. I just wait for more kernel features (OC , governors, hotplugs) like advanced kernel of the OLD HybridROM.

After testing oc and governors for few months I've noticed that more thing you add to kernel, the heavier it gets, and instead of improvements it's getting worse.
The best result are so far is without extra governors and oc.
I mean battery life and performance.
With OC you can get extra 1k in antutu, but I don't think that a really important thing.

Hi !
love the new rom, seem so fast and battery friendly
however i encounter wifi problem seem likely as cm12 custom rom. thats y i never stick with any cm based rom.
on gpe based rom, this bug currently not happening at all.
wifi keep disconnecting after several minutes and cant found any access point, if you try to disable and enable back, its still the same, only reboot will fix this, however wait 10-20 min, wifi will disconnect back, and the bug go on and on.....
i did report to cm12 based thread, about several thread, about 4 months now, the bug still not fix, maybe because it only happen for a few users, so they ignore it. yah, 4month and counting lol.
Uncle, i love your gpe based rom, and this current rom as well, i hope it did well and great as same as previous rom.
im coming from your gpe based rom, however already did full reset.
maybe i need to stick back to your previous rom.

Well, I didn't touch hardware related stuff and I never had this problem.
I mean that wifi should work as on gpe port, as hardware related stuff is still from gpe.
Tey to change wifi-frequency band in settings.

I guess you see this problem, because you have two xperia phones with custom roms. And your phones have same mac address. When you use your phones in same wireless network your wifi will be dropped. Try to change your mac address...

It's just less aggressive therefore it's more battery friendly.
And the minimum level is less, so it's don't burn eyes in darkness.
I personally like it more.
