The best ROM for E3

Hi there!

I just wanted to share my personal experience with this ROM.

First of all, I wanted to know what kind of black magic or trickery is involved with this ROM. Seriously!

When I first had my E3 D2203, it felt sluggish and laggy with the stock rom, so I decided to root it, change the kernel and flash Cyanogenmod 11.

It worked fine, but it had a lot of little bugs or flaws that really annoyed me like not supporting ext 4 formatted sd card (which is a must with this phone), disconnections and not obtaining IP adresses with wifi networks, which made me to constantly delete files from dhcp and wifi folders everytime I turned on the phone, freezing when rotating the screen on landscape mode when using the remote access to my PC app, and a few more.

Oh, and no speaker when making calls, which is fine with me, but I missed from here and there when I was with some friends.

Just little things, that keep wasting my time fixing things, instead of enjoying CM11 on my phone.

Tired of all the bull**** I tried Nitrogen ROM, which again, worked fine, but little flaws made me switch to this ROM. With Nitrogen, the phone felt really laggy, I mean really. Even more than with the stock ROM.

The multitasking window was nice, but it was really slow it had a serious delay when pressing the button and displaying the actual multitasking windows, and the edges of the windows had a horrible aliasing, which at first I didn`t notice, but when I did, I couldn't stop looking at it. Ugly.

Then it hit me. I came here, flashed this rom, and oh god its beautiful.

The phone feels really snappy, lag free and the battery lasts me 2-3 days. I consider myself a moderate phone user. I mainly check for emails, make some calls, check facebook, linkedin, social media stuff, etc.

I usually don't game, but I listen to some music on Mixcloud, Soundcloud or Youtube (with a xposed module you can still play youtube music in the background, without paying for the youtube music thing).

Like I said, 2 to 3 days of battery and 3 to 4 hours of on screen time, it's just brilliant.

It charges from 5 percent to 100 in less than 3 hours, not as good as quickcharge with my Galaxy Note 4, but still, you can't compare a flagship phone with this one.

And this is without activating any power saving modes neither the stamina mode, which would give me another day or half a day, for sure.

Having ext4 formatted SD and Link to SD Plus is a must on this phone for me, I now can have lots of apps, and still have more than 1 gb of internal storage free for that snappy functionality of the E3.

Speaker and overall sound quality is much improved, and the camera as well, again, I don't even understand how you can improve the pictures and focus speed quality, but you did it.

I just want to thank you T-Shock and Vinay for the kernel, you guys made this cheap phone have a few years left of usage in my hands.

I cannot recommend enough this ROM for any E3 D2203 users.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia E3] Regis23:
Nice review, glad to hear you're happy with this rom like me, I've also tried all vinay's builds but it didin't made my phone smooth as this one, personally I recommend to flash stock kernel from 0.19 software right after you have made internal swap with sd. (xposed module with pr swap sd app from playstore) because if you're using swap kernel then ur phone is decreasing in video/3D graphics performance plus battery charging time is way quickier with 0.19 kernel :)

Im still very happy with this phone, because when I had to buy a phone, I was about choosing from this/xperia e4g and LG spirit, So I saw an xperia e3 xda article was full of interesting things and picked up this little beast :D

Hello!

I just flashed boot.img using sony flashtool by androxyde, because It didn't work with fastboot/adb or Emma (crap Sony software/drivers!)

But how do I enter CWM now?
[Sony Xperia E3] Regis23:
If you've flashed stock kernel over this rom then you cant enter cwm so if you need cwm then flash cwm or any other kernel for this dev, but all kernels over this rom wasn't stable for my daily use so it depends on person, maybe kernel auditor could help to set up hybrid kernel perfectly.. ;) To enter cwm you need to power up device then press both vol up and down buttons at the same time

Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks for this really nice site with a lot of interesting things.

I just test to install this rom on my D2203 but an error occured :

Restoring system...

Error while restoring /system!

There isn't more information so I can't find from where it comes. Is there someone with an idea ?

Help please, I really want to install this nice rom...

Thanks

PS : sorry for my bad English... I come from Belgium...

EDIT : Resolved, I tried about 30 times and then it does'nt any error...

Thanks for this very smooth rom !

[Sony Xperia E3] IndyUK:
Hi,

I'd like to install this ROM but I'm finding the install instructions somewhat confusing. I sort of get what needs to be done but, the 1st point is where I'm confused. Firstly, where do I get the CWM image from and how is it installed? Secondly, which kernel needs to be installed? The remaining parts seems straight forward i.e. since this is not CWM flashable, we use the OP backup files to restore onto our device, so get that. If someone can help me out I'd be most appreciatative.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E3] :
hey! is this rom work with stock firmware 18.5.C.0.25 ?

thanks!!
[Sony Xperia E3] NedqlkoHristov:
Hello,

I successfully restored the ROM [had some issues with the md5 but someone in the replies already has found the solution]

So I was using 0.19 stock with root from vinay,

I wiped data & cache [without dalvik] and restored the ROM...

Now the Wifi won't turn on... It just stays on "turning on"

What did I do wrong? :eek:
[Sony Xperia E3] levvvy:
Re-upload please
[Sony Xperia E3] msigmond:
Hi,

I was about to give up on this phone, when I found this ROM.

Thanks very much for the great work, this is awesome.

Many of you mentioned that it is worth restoring the stock kernel from 0.19.

Could you please point me to a guide, that describes where to get the stock kernel from, and how to install it?

Best regards,

Marton

Just download a flashtool with xperifirm and you will find all versions of stock roms for your sony phones, then simply you can extract boot.img from tft file and flash it as normal kernel flash guide or just select your tft file (default sony rom) and uncheck all boxes except boot or kernel, didnt remember which one kernel names ( you will find it as boot or kernel ) as I did it a year ago and still using this phone without any problems :)

[Sony Xperia E3] zorzibaffo:
Hello.

I'm not very taught with custom roms for now.

How can I check if my Xperia E3 is 2203 model ?

Is this rom must only be installed over default stock rom, like an upgrade ? Or can it be installed "from nothing" ?

I don't understand first procedure step. What does "install kernel" means ? Where can I download/fin kernel to install ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NJPanda:
I used towelroot to root my Verizon Samsung S4. it took seconds to root which was kind of strange for me as the last time i rooted a phone it was the HTC Thunderbolt. whole different process. So again i rooted the phone with Towelroot but superSU app wasn't installed. I went to the playstore and downloaded the Superuser. At this point i'm unsure how to flash a rom to this phone or how to flash and add anything to it. I know the phone has root because i used a root checker.

where can i find a good list of ROMS and other fun stuff to add to my phone?

I need to get this phone set up and ready to ship to my son tomorrow so if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Hopefully he's a fan of touchwiz. Do some research on safestrap recovery as this is most likely your only option for flashing roms.

Thanks

I have a very wierd problem with the lights at the top of my device.

I have set my TyTN to flash the light when I receive a new text message. It then blinks orange. Normally it blinks green.

Here is the problem. During the night when i wake up, it feels like the green light lights up my room twice every second, but during the day when i look at my TyTN, to see if I have received an sms i have to wait for 2 seconds for the light to flash.

Just want to hear your input on what might be wrong.

Personally I think that has to do with Einstein's Theory of Relativity rather than with the device itself.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hanmin:
Twice every second is very obvious.. it a 2Hz flickering light that light up your room. If you are sure you are fully awake and still see 2Hz flickering light in your room at night, probably it is a UFO.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permutations:
There is a long-term bug in the basic Android system that affects the keyboard when autocorrect is used, and I hope someone here can offer some insight and help because it's been driving me nuts for years, over many phones and many versions of Android. Now it's just started happening on my new Sony Xperia X3.

At first, all is well. But then, after a certain amount of typing, you start to experience the Autocorrect Backspace Bug. Symptoms:

If you use autocomplete by selecting one of the suggested words and then press Backspace, no longer is the entire word deleted. Instead, entire words or parts or words are inserted until whatever you were trying to type is complete garbled.

If you press Space before Backspace, the autocompleted word will be repeated in its entirety followed by a space, and then you can delete both words letter by letter without new words or letters being inserted.

If you long-press the text to bring up the CopyAll-Cut-Paste menu and select CopyAll, only the word you were pressing on is selected, rather than all the text.

Clearing the Android cache for all apps and data doesn't help, nor does deleting all the learned autocorrect data. Turning off Autocorrect completely isn't a great solution for me because that also turns off Swype, which I like to use.

I have had this problem with my last 3 Android phones, so it has existed since at least Android Gingerbread. Google searches of this problem have turned up complaints about this bug since Gingerbread, but NOT ONE SOLUTION.

The people who frequent this forum are the smartest anywhere about things Android. Any thoughts????

Has anyone else here even experienced this bug?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toth42:
God, yes! This is such a PITA, especially when typing om forums or fb-comment sections..! Please tell me you solved it?!

I recorded the bug to show it better - why is no-one else complaining about this, googling gets me no answers. FYI it happens to all keyboards I've tried, incl Google and Xperia.

Good video!

I solved the problem by switching to a keyboard that has its own autocorrect. Not all do. Many use the built-in autocorrect. I'm using SwiftKey now. It had its own autocorrect.
