Excuse me, i have read all instrustion of installing this rom but i really cant understand this step:

"4.Extract boot.img included in zip and fastboot flash it via Flashtool or CMD

flash twrp into your fota partition."

Plz tell me how to do this? i have rooted and unlocked bootloader already. and stuck at this step, try and try and bootloop or softbrick. Plz help me, i'm really really like this rom! i'm at fw 23.0.A.2.93
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
im gonna make a new build today

there's a link on "how to" flash twrp on fota partition on these steps, sorry but installing a working recovery questions doesn't belong to this thread ;)

thanks for understanding =)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lemonade747:
yes i know, sorry about that, i'm new to xperia Z3, i'm using dualrecovery and flash this rom, my phone didnt boot. maybe i will read more guide how to flash this rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
dual recovery is for stock roms, so just there u are wrong....as i said there's a link on these steps to flash twrp onto fota partition, wich is gonna survive thru rom flashes, just do that.....it saves lot of headaches.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Thanks :) appreciate all your hard work. Also should mention i found another bug. When using themes only, if it themes something dark, the UI popup window text (such as when you dial a ussd such as *#06#) or even a confirmation to delete something, the response text is dark. I first tried to blame the themes but then realised this doesnt happen on the original cm12 base. My best guess is your already dark theme conflicts other themes somehow. Not a major issue just reporting, easiest fix is to enable high contrast text, this fix works for me but makes text quiet a bit to sharp lol
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
update will be tomorrow, i worked whole night on my platform without success, anyways, regarding themes, some fixes been merged on cm theme engine since your last build; and indeed stock validus frameworks are modified, so themers has to make it work on our rom, some did, some not....hard to say wich ones are...

New build is up

Validus-LP-v7.0-2015-03-05-validus_z3.zip

Changelog as usually under "about phonne" menu

still built with M5 kernel

Flash dat sh#t! =)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
New build is so smooth! Thanks.. I noticed something , the call bug, with headphones on it does not happen, it goes through instantly. I am uncertain if I should be posting here or on the CM thread I felt I should just inform it has something to do with the speaker config I'm guessing, on headphones its instant. Thanks for the new build, working better than ever [edit] also camera is still distorted in the middle bottom piece only
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
without logs....nothing could be done, i don't own it yet cuz my f*cking provider is out of stock since weeks....

and even in cm threads u better to report bugz with logs, its the golden rule
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
I have no issue posting logs i generally do, i have posted logs before on the call bug if you recall.. And camera seems like a known bug still. But here you go, first call i made to 808 was with headset on and no delays, second was also to 808 and with normal speaker and delay, then i took two pictures with camera, please check the middle and the bottom to see how it distorts (warps) the dimensions of the photos, this happens with all cameras i use on L but not on my stock rom--π catlog : https://app.box.com/s/h84d17h1xe775b3uozxk8urofhi8nuh8 , pic #1: https://app.box.com/s/zvc0qkqa5x2b8m2wzen99jinx7vgq84n , pic #2: https://app.box.com/s/t7yi8cwh2cnsvjil7woo67xr8b1f334c
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Indicious Flow:
Somehow fast charging isn't working for me, it takes a few hours just to charge the phone to full.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Fastcharge is for USB as far as i am aware of. Compared to the stock 500ma it gives out it can provide 1000 i think? Anyway i do notice on AC its still very slow. On usb3 i charge just under 3 hours aswell, which is still slow as opposed to stock. But manageable, im pretty sure it will be fixed in time. This is however a CM12 issue not really validus rom related though..[edit] with m5 kernel you can use device control, and under features-fastcharge, enable level 2 fastcharge (custom ma on AC and usb) this improved my charge almost 250% with the flow increasing from 250-300ma to 740 avg. This charged my device in 1hr 40min.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
thats crusty details i like xD
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION], here is a brightness fix, confirmed working on your rom with me, all credits to the op for finding it, just came across it on CM12 thread if you wanna add it to next build, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3008623
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
Am I the only one that unstable wlan connections?

The wlan signal quality was not an issue compared to stock Rom.

Or is it only my device?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
The wlan is a little weaker compared to stock, but all cm12 users face this, for the majority of users no one will feel it due to being close to their wlan spot, others that go further will notice wlan is slightly weaker like myself. Yep ive noticed it. But a cheap work around for me was to increase my wlan's spot Tx power up, if you have a wrt54g at your disposal trying ddwrt and increasing your tx power by maybe 30mv. Will make the worlds difference, if not, will just have to wait for the guys at CM to fix this
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] broknheart_008:
Z3 dual support ?

I just wanted to ask that can i install this one on the z3 dual model d6533 to be precise. i dont want the dual sim functionality any way .awaiting some one's response:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
nope u can't, it a different device source
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
Ok so this is not just me. I got the issue that the router is a bit away, a stage below me usually. I've got an fritz box here do you know how to do what you said with it?

Also I experience random reboots sometimes, I'm the only one having this issue?

I've read on the google plus group of validus somewhere that someone said there's no need for xposed: I say it is, I really miss the greenify module for xposed.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
random reboots should be fixed on next build
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
Ok Thank's, at least a step forward. However the wlan thing is annoying.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Unfortanetly i cant help you with custom firmware for routers, if your router is supported, nor can i actually say i know how to set yours, some allow you to set it out of the box and is labelled Tx power or transmission power, if you can up this a tiny bit (not much, we dont want your router potentially frying), it will give a stronger transmission signal, wont give you more signal but will give it more quality which is what you need. Im 15m from mine on 1 bar and im still managing to pull 4mbps out, as for random reboot, its the M5 kernel causing it, [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] has found the issue and is working on it, only a matter of time so be patient. But the issue is the 266mhz step, cheapest fix atm is, use fx explorer with root addon, unlock system partition (optional), use trickster or any other app, use permission trick, and force it to 300mhz minimum, also avoid OC unless ur gonna tweak the voltages, they to low by default hence reboots, i stuck to 300-2419mhz and 68hrs no reboot so far
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
would be nice if you would support d6653 too
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] samnahata:
hey guys i love this rom!!! however, i notice a few problems, which are quite annoying

Sometimes my call drops after a 4 min conversation,

The screen becomes unresponsive very often, only a hard reset (volume key+turn off button) fixes this.

Other then those two points, this is a fantastic rom!! I am in love.

I am a beginner, so i was wondering if anyone could also tell me whether i am able to install xposed framework for this?

Thanks a lot !
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alex3oe:
you can, check the M5 Kernel thread
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Griffiths_Anna:
Hmm, the radio doesn't even work on d6653.. and the recent apps button couldn't show up as well..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Same issue on D6603, newest build breaks imei/RIL

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Install the permissive version of M5 kernel, xposed works if you use SE linux permissive
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] samnahata:
hey thanks for that... any idea what the story is with the unresponsiveness or the call drop out?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Just flashed cm12, same issues, since validus uses cm base the bugs are the same. Seems on the CM thread they aware of it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
Im the only one where the wlan Signal is unstable like hell?

---------- Post added at 23:15 ---------- Previous post was at 23:06 ----------

Or rebuilt the validus Boot.img and add androidboot.selinux=permissve to cmdline
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] samnahata:
So previously, i was on the rom dated on march 05, so i decided to update to the 11th march release. I did a re-installation along with gapps and m5 kernel. I noticed my phone was unable to find a phone network at all. After a few hours of rebooting/reinstalling, i eventually switched back to the release on 05, and the phone network and data is now working fine. Now, since this was the same rom i had previously installed, i am assuming the unresponsive bug will re-occur.

But, i am curious to know if anyone else has experienced problems connecting to the network/data on the new release?

I suppose i will be waiting for the next release to update the phone as this one somehow doesn't seem to play well.

As for xposed framework, after installing the 2.1 experimental build on the M5 kernel (permissive), it gives me 2 errors:

Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (armebi-v7a)

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by "data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found

Now, i realize this is off topic but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Griffiths_Anna:
So um, which version should I flash to my z3 in order to get a nice working mobile data and recent apps button ? The 5th March one?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lpachuong:
Yes. The 5th March works nicely and smoothly on my phone. Only problem I have is no loud speaker in phone call but i can live without that.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Crosslife:
Had the same problem. No network. The phone didn't recognize the SIM card. No option to enter my PIN.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Cm12 fixed RIL again on latest build, just to inform, [MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
okay so, as we all know stable build is 03-05 of Validus, i felt like i should try help here a little, i went on a tinkering mission and thanks to the CM12 thread, i have found fixes for the following, all credits to OPs and devs i am only trying to make it easier for us to fix this on Validus till dev does it, OP, feel free to remove if inappropriate, i take no credits or responsibility for your device if this did not work so make sure you have a twrp backup ready, i pulled this off my D6603 with Validus, and have tested this on 03-05 build.

1. Brightness fix (screen goes dark under thermal pressure), replace thermanager.xml into /system/etc and change permissions to --rw-r-r and reboot ==> https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrmej8ksuvjf91o/thermanager.xml?dl=0

2. Loudspeaker/mic fix - mixerpaths.xml into system/etc and change permissions to --rw-r-r and reboot ==> https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcppp13wx7m1jm1/mixer_paths.xml?dl=0

3. slow charging fix, install device control and go under fastcharge - enable level 2 (custom ma on USB and AC) working with M5 kernel==> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol

4. fix random reboots, head over to testing and flash latest test build of M5 kernel, he has fixed the mp_decision error, http://testing.myself5.de/

Hope this works for you as it did for me :) now only the call delay to go..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
Will make a new build today or tomorrow thx for infos :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] panzerscope:

thx

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Crosslife:
Downloading...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Crosslife:
First impressions...RIL and wifi WORK.

Most inportant. Phone app crashes when try to make a call.

Keyboard and language setting crashes as in CM.

Double tal works.

Random reboots. Suppose due to M5 kernel. Did you merge the last test build of M5?

Couldn't test loudspeaker in calls.

Please! I wish you could fix these bugs... Thanx anyway...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Tested, exact same bugs as [MENTION=6477150]Crosslife[/MENTION] :( dialer crash is worst of it.. Most stable remains the 03-05 build still.. Apart from fixes that need to be merged.. Best is it seems to stay on this build till CM fixes their issues up and merge fixes from [MENTION=462299]Untouchab1e[/MENTION] as i posted.. Camera distortion seems to be fixed in newer builds now though, so i took camera2 apk and cameraworkaround.apk from latest cm12 and pushed it to system/app/camera2 and cameraworkaround, and camera also working better now..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] scpeter1:
same problems......
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
This is damn good news, bad for you but good for me....

i was banging my head on the wall cuz of this phone ap crashes on my device now i know its not from my trees but from sources =) thanks a lot guyz for testing, im moving forward, at least ril and wifi are fixed....will make new builds soon

Only bug, I'm having random reboots. Suppose due to the M5 kernel?...

Flashing 3/17/15 gapps, makes Google play services to crash and I had to flash again 3/5/15. No problems then...

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Crosslife:
Ok. I'm having aprox 1 reboot each 3 hours... In M5 kernel thread I saw anything related to mp_decision and 300 mix... Don't know... Thanx anyway...

hi, just wanted to point out that VOIP services (Skype/Viber) is not working on this rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Whats it do? Mine are running just fine, both skype and viber.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] samnahata:
That's odd, because for me there is no sound on incoming or outgoing voip calls...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
All you do is enable speaker, or use headset, works fine. If you having issues, try replacing your mixer_paths.xml, probably need to grab it off the latest cm12 as they got plenty fixed but, when i enable speaker on mine, it works fine on the normal speakers.

Is it possible that you could build Pac Man rom Lollipop for us?

Thank you in advance. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
which tools you use to limit mix cpu speed, cause I use kernel tweaker and it didn't helps.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Aronuser:
try "device control" (free) or "faux123" (paid)

make sure to set it that it will stick on boot in settings (faux and device control) (and in device control also activate the setting lock option at the frequency)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Thaodan:
ok thank's I'll try.

When there will be a new release?

Hey my charge results are really bad.. even tho I tried what you said!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Hmm odd, if i go check my flow, its at 960ma, which is near stock results, on stock i pull 1050. So it takes just like 5min longer to charge, maybe something is pulling ur battery?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] chrisss5000:
HUH :(

hmm..I mean It charge great on stock rom! But I like the Validus rom so much...but the charge-time is that bad that I have no choice than go back to stock for now..I tried so much.. :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
did u have same issue on others cm based?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] chrisss5000:
Yes I have the same isse on every other cm based! charging problem everywhere I go in cm based with this phone: D6603 Sony Xperia Z3!

I hope there is a soulution for this in the future!

In stock rom it works awesome to charge!!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] chrisss5000:
Ampere

Min: 210mA Max: 230mA

So odd...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
ok will see what could be done....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] chrisss500:
Same issue here!

Would be awesome with like a kernel tweaker, that you can tweak charge and cpu etc.

I tried the latest 5.1 build! Everything was working perfect!! No issues!

Boot time- Great!!

Settings works awesome!

Fast like hell!!

Sound works on build 8.1 19/4 android 5.1

Only issue, charge-time!

If this will be solved, (charge) then this is a stable and daily rom!! Best rom ever! ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alx31:
New build is up with M5 kernel packed in.

i suggest u to use

kernel adiutor

for kernel controls.

Validus-LP-v8.0-2015-04-21-validus_z3.zip

if it doesn't boot, simply fastboot flash previous kernel on top of that set up. (1st boot on validus is always a bit long...give it 10 min in case)

Enjoy.
