Hi everyone !

Today I will explain how to install the theme SamSonya v4.8.2 , because we don't have any customs roms or full modded themes to flash through recovery, we will go with "Superuser mod" ! ;- ) I tried last night on my Z3 and it worked perfectly !

If you are not sure of what you are doing; don't go further !! You alone will be responsable in case of problems with your phone ! And above all , remember to make a backup before any manipulations !! I'm not the author of this theme, i'm just sharing this beautiful theme to the Z3 community.

Pre-requisite

:

- D6603 Model (If someone can try on other models and tell me if it's working)

- be on firmware 23.0.A.2.93 / 105 (Not tested yet on latest .77 firmware but should works too as it's still android 4.4.4)

- Unlocked bootloader

- Rooted

- Xposed installed ( Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer)

- Serajr module installed (v3.3) and "Superuser mod' activated (Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed.kk)

Download link

:

Update V9.2:

- Added Support for stock applications "download"

- Added Support for clock widget

- Added, As an experiment, some animated icons (missed call, sms, notification of charging, the charging indicator (lightning)

This is blue version: SamSonya-blue-v9.2.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/af8dee9896cd/SamSonya-blue-v9.2.apk

This is blue version, with "Xperia" nav bar: SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Xperia.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/76ed5e1101af/SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Xperia.apk

This is blue version, with "Sony" nav bar: SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Sony.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d442c9349845/SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Sony.apk

Installation

:

Once you have completed all the prerequisites , install the previously downloaded theme , then go to Settings / Personalization / Themes and choose and apply the theme "SamSonya" .

After you apply this theme, remember to restart your Z3 for all the changes to applies ;)

And here you are with a Xperia Z3 better customized than with official themes for Sony ...

PS 1 : Go to Settings/Input and Language/Xperia Keyboard settings/Skins and choose the "black Skin", it will be fully themed ! thanks [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION] !

PS 2: Feel free to play with the settings of the Serajr application to modified even more your phone ! ;) For example, go to Serajr app, then go to System UI, activate it, scroll down a little, check thefollowing boxes :

- "applying the colors to the content"

- "Colored softkeys buttons"

etc...

Work perfect

Im using xperia z2:P
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] ngotrieu163:
Can you share me some picture of this theme?

In my device icons doesnt change

Sorry 4 bad english
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Icons doesn't change for me too. But icons of dropdown panel changed with this theme
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Here it is some actual screenshots of my Xperia Z3 with this theme
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
Are you trying on Odex?

Basiacally its developed for ZL/Z and should change about 90-95% of system interface. On another models superusermod will be required. Tested and fully adapted for: ZL, Z, ZR, Z1, SP, M2Dual, Z2.

Xperia Z2 (with latest 4.4.4) and Z3 are not fully adapted jet. (dialwindow and may be something else)

This variant of theme is for 4.3-4.4.x roms with root, deodex,

blackthemed

.

Up to now there are 5 variants for blackthemed roms and 3 variants for light.

Full list of changing items you can see while theme applying.

Sorry for english.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
I'm still odex, i try to flash the de-odexed firmware .93 on my phone but when i reboot my phone just messed up, i try several times but no luck... So for now, i keep it that way.

I know that Xperia Z3 wasn't include in the model phone list compatible for this theme, but i thought i might give a shot, and even if all the system are not themed for now, it's quite a start and most importantly, it doesn't messed up the phone, so that's a good thing ! I mean no FC or whatsoever...

Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to adapt this theme for our Z3, it will be great !

And by the way, i love the blue keyboard on your screenshot ! Wish i have it on my Z3... That's why we need to get this theme on our Z3.. I'm starting to think that rom custom development will never comes out for our precious...

I think the best would be to take black theme for Z2 as a base, as the system it's almost similar with Z3...
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
I`m the author of this theme.

Ab keybord: check keyboard skin settings. Now you are using 2-d skin, try 3-d (dark) variant. It should be fully colored by Theme.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Sorry but what is "ab keyboard" ? Can you provide me a link ? That would be easier.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
Settings - Language & Input - keyboard settings - skins - you will see 3 skins. Dark skin should be fully themed
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Yeees ! It worked !! Big thanks to you !!!
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] ngotrieu163:
I relly love all icon in this theme

But my device was appear some icon

Can you share me link of icon

Sorry 4 english

Im using z2 4.4.4
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
ngotrieu163

The theme isnt contain 3d party aplications, all changes only in system.

Icons you can find inside theme at the folder "assets"
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Do you think that we can manually replace the stock icons by those from your themes ?

EDIT

: Nevermind.. I tried to replace "Conversation.apk and¨Phonebook.apk" and it didn't worked as i expected :(

Would it be possible for you [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION] just to take a look to help us to make this theme fully or as least a little more compatible for our Z3 that it is actually ? I can be your tester, and i can provide you the files you need :)

Even a donation from me is possible if necessary :)
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
Why not? If you have some experience on it.

Adaptation to Z3

1- need root, deodex, superusermod and mostly preferable blackthemed phone interface. In this case you should see maximum changes. I think only incall window isnt adapted to Z3. All other items should work perfectly.

2-send me max. number of screenshots where something isnt changing.

Only after this I will see the variants.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Well i'm not a noob, far from it, but i never developped anything, but i like to test it on my phone !! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] ngotrieu163:
This theme is update to v8.4.3
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Yes i know, i have to update the OP.

I already installed it and sadly, it doesn"t change anything... It's exactly themed like the v8.4.2 :(

Any icons are changed...and the blackground of settings, phonebook and messages is (sorry to say this, as i respect the developper of this theme) quite ugly. Maybe it's because it's not fully compatible for our Z3 yet that it looks like that but i hope someone will change it very soon !

I blakthemed the phone isn't possible yet without Custom Rom like "Criskelo Rom", or maybe by modding the system framework.apk
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
First of all, you need to read the Theme changelog. Thats why you cant find changes. All current versions and changelog: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=436246&view=findpost&p=28412348 (sorry, but only in russian for the moment)

Current verson 8.5 (for blackthemed)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/fa812e464c13/SamSonya-blue-v8.5Xperia.apk

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2266dcc4c4ca/SamSonya-blue-v8.5.apk
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Thanks for your answer ;)

But what the difference between those 2 links you just provide ? For me, it looks like these 2 themes are the same.

Maybe you can help me [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION], i'm not deodexed right now cause i didn't succeed to get the deodexed .93fw working on my Z3... If i was deodexed, do you think that the theme will worked better ? I mean, myabe more stuff will be themed ?

Or do i have to get absolutely Blackthemed settings framework/Custom rom for the theme to be successfully working ?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
The difference in navigation bar.

About deodex/odex - I dont know. I have deodex and everything is changing. And I dont know what is changed in your phone already or not

Of course for better image ( for this version of the themes) you should have minimum blackthemed: phonebook.apk, conversations.apk, settings.apk, SemcCalendar.apk, SmallAppsLauncher.apk, PackageInstaller.apk.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Thanks [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION], i think that i have to get blackthemed on my phone for the theme to be fully working either.

Right now, the background in settings, or sms app, phonebook app, etc...is the same that it's supposed to be in the theme's screenshots, but in white... :(

I guess i have to wait that someone blacktheme the Xperia Z3.... fingers crossed ! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
gregou,

For original white Im strongly recommend you: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/549111b43b4b/SamSonya-blue-v7.1White.apk

Sorry, its the latest version for white interfaces (no updates jet), but specially for white
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Thanks a lot for this theme, but in fact, it doesn't changed anything compare to the blue theme version... It gives me exactly the same things stuffed... That why i realize that i have to be on blacktheme verson, otherwise it'll not work, i have the confirmation now thanks to you [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION]

I have to wait that developpers of this theme make it fully compatible with Z3.

And one last thing, i tried to register on this website, but it's asking me to enter letters from captcha... Only one problem, it's written in russian in the letterbox :-/ Even if i use google translate... Have you any idea how to register ?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:

Chance icon contacs and Phone?

Good theme but dont'n chance this icons
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
Can you show screenshots? I think phonebook should change. With Dialwindow - the same problem like in Z3: existenze 4.4.4 is using InCallUi.apk instead of standart SemcPhone.apk.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Updated first post with latest v9.2 ! :)

Hi for every one!

I found the desicion with some non-changing on Z3, Z2(FW167) and Existenze. Now under the testing, but the main problem - to build 1 theme version for all phone models.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Sorry [MENTION=5570221]runels[/MENTION] but i didn't get it what you meant ?

What do you mean by "found the decision.. non changing".. ?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] runels:
I solved (I hope) the problem with latest Sony`s FW (Z2, Z3, latest Existanze). Now everything should change by the theme. After russian holidays I will present SamSonya Theme v10
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] i360*:

I think it would be great if we update this thread ;)

I know that there's a thread updated in the Xperia Z section but for the Z3 owners, it'll be easier if we find the latest version of this theme here.

I know that the latest version of this theme is "Samsonya2-v8.4" (for android 5.1.1), but i never succeeded to register on 4pda.ru where we can find this theme.

Can someone can upload here, and i will update the first post that i made.

Thanks !

Root Mi2 with Lollipop 5.0 !!

In Xiaomi 2, you need to carry out special procedures to root with the Android Lollilpop (5.0) version.

Credits: http://geek.miui.com/content-14-964-1.html#top

***This root kit is not made by me. I just translated it.***

1. Download the Root Mi2 Lollipop.zip (9.17 MB) in the attachments of this thread.

2. Unzip it in a location you like.

3. Open the "Command Prompt.bat" in the folder.

4. Enter fastboot mode in your Mi2 by shutting down and then long-press VOLUME - AND POWER BUTTON.

5. Connect it to your PC with USB CABLE.

6. In "Command_Prompt.bat" in Root Mi2 Lollipop, enter followings:

fastboot flash boot bootinsecure.img
fastboot reboot

7. It will then reboot. After boot, Open "Command Prompt.bat" and enter followings:

adb kill-server
adb root
adb remount
adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /system/xbin
cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
cp /data/local/busybox /system/bin
cd /system/xbin
busybox --install .
sync
reboot

8. This will install the busybox and reboot. After it boots, copy the "BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip" into the root directory(/sdcard0). Rename it "update.zip"

9. Shut the phone down. Long-press VOLUME+ AND POWER to open recovery. In recovery, choose the "update.zip" to flash.

10. Reboot and you are done!!

You now has root access on L on your Mi2!!

[EDIT] Thanks to zipalign, pointing out the second edition of the tool kit.

As the attachment is over sized, please use the external link below, thanks

[Xiaomi Mi 2] Spiro67:
Have tried but it does not work for me and it does not install supersu.

Edit : ok just format the system and do a clear install and it works great !

Congrats! You can hit thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 2] demon_xxi:
Having problems with this approach on latest update from Ivan 11.28

Root is working but WiFi stops working at all. Cannot activate it.

Looks like after installing busybox wifi is not operational anymore.

Flashing ROM again helps wifi but removes root. So it is now either root or wifi.

Any other ways to get superuser app working?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zipalign:
same here.

hard choice, root VS wifi :(
[Xiaomi Mi 2] henry0504:
Which model?? Mi2S or C??

Rooting works as expected on my Mi 2S but droidVpn malfunctions only. WiFi is ok.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zipalign:
Mi2S.

solved using the updated tool.

works like a charm now (:
[Xiaomi Mi 2] neto65:
In Windows ...

...

3. Open the "Command Prompt.bat" in the folder.

...

doesn't work.

I followed another's member suggestion from another thread... Instead of using "Command Prompt.bat", search in C: for "cmd.exe". It's in C:\Windows\System32 . Copy this in the unziped folder "Root Mi2 Lollipop-v2" where is the "Command Prompt.bat" . Right click and choose "Run as administrator".

Follow the rest steps as described...

All good! Root access GRANTED!!!

Problem rooting with Lollipop with Build LRX22G for MI2

henry0504,

Following your working procedure, I am facing difficulty in rooting my MI2 machine and it is detailed in below.

Before the rooting, I have updated the PC MI2 device USB driver (thru MI Suitre) and up-to-date ADB software. on the PC end.

After above, I have folloewd the rooting instruction provided in thread No. 1 to connect the phone in fastboot mode with PC thru an USB cable . Starting up ADB on PC and executed "fastboot flash boot bootinsecure.img" command with no problem. After issuing "ADB REBOOT" (second step), I am able to see ADB got a positive response from phone. The phone went into the rebooting mode. I have noticed a XIAOMI logo was displayed right in the middle of the phone screen but stayed there forever (more than 20 mins) without any other display. I guess, the phone has entered into a loop state. No choice but have to stopped the rooting process and recovered phone OS by booting system two.

What could be wrong or missing in above?

Below are info you may need to help identify the failed root procedure:

Crap, after sending bootinsecure.img, it stucked at mi.com logo.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] juliantchan:
Relax, I have had met the same issue before but have had the situation fixed already.

In order for us to help, please provide us screen shot of the "about phone" of your phone in trouble.

Or just reply with "model number", "android version" and "MIUI version".

-- JayCee
[Xiaomi Mi 2] nyunyu:
My phone is Mi2S and it's currently stucked at mi.com logo. That's the thing, I can't gives you any of what you asked because it does not boot. Last Miui used version was v6 lollipop.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] juliantchan:
OK. Got you.

I have an Xiaomi MI2. Strongly believe MI2/MI2S /MI2A operates the same.

If this is the first time you flash the phone, I am pretty sure you can recover the phone.

You may want to try below process to recover the phone just before last flash:

1. Power off phone (or take out the battery)

2. First press Vol Up (+) Button and then press Power Button simultaneously and firmly

3. When phone displays the Xiaomi Logo in the middle of the screen, you may now release the buttons

4. Phone is loading (takes a bit longer), wait until the Language Selection page comes up

**use Vol +/- (up/down) to navigate and use power button to select

5. Navigate to English (or Chinese) and select (press Power Button)

6. Navigate to Reboot and select

7. Navigate to "Boot To System Two" and select

8. It will take quite a bit of time for phone to fully boot (be prepared, it may take more than 30 minutes, don't panic)

9. After the reboot, believe System One and Two of phone are the same (identical)

10. You should have the phone recovered now

Wish you good luck...

Don't forget to provide the requested info if you want to root your phone.

--JayCee
[Xiaomi Mi 2] nyunyu:
Nope, no luck. Tried to boot to both system 1 and 2 but still same issue.

Finally able to flash cwm and reflash the rom again. The latest rom downloaded by MIUI still in the downloaded_rom folder.

So, I guess rooting a Mi2S v7 not yet available.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] juliantchan:
Sorry to hear you were not able to recover the Android.

Xiaomi 2/2S Android has Global, Special and China version editions.

Only the China version has a Developer version which has the rooted function incorporated already.

Mi 2/2S MIUI 7 was only released in late August for all editions.

The latest China/Developer version is v5.9.2 （MIUI7） and my phone has flashed to this MIUI and ROM.

I have been using the rooted function for programs like Super Backup, ES File Explorer, etc, happily.

IMHO, the newest MIUI and ROM is quite stable.

If you are interested, you may get more info from " http://en.miui.com/download-2.html#2".

--JayCee
[Xiaomi Mi 2] nyunyu:
Sorry, blunder on my part. My phone was on V6.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] juliantchan:
Whether your phone is on Miui V6 or V7, Stable or Development Android , Global/Special/China Edition,

you should be able to get the required info (thru search) to root your Mi2S with the following page :
