[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STef000:
Hello,

I have a new Sony xPeria Z3 compact and I put the latest lollipop by following the procedure here :

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

Now I would like to have xPrivacy without loosing my DRM meaning no bootloader unlocking (I can change my mind if there is a trick to the Sony special/proprietary features that are no more available when loosing the DRM :o)

So, just because I wanted to try and see, I mostly followed this process

https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy/#installation that I have started in step 6

So I'm not very surprise that I have some errors with Xposed...

It tells me "Failed to get root access" (I'm a bit surprise since I maybe misunderstood something but after making the TA backup and upgrade following the mentionned procedure I thought my phone was rooted)

Another reported errors :

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

- cannot link executable : could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by .....

===

So my question is : Is it possible to have xPrivacy without loosing the Sony proprietary algorithms of my camera ?

I'm trying to make all install via USB.

I would like (again if possible) to configure all apps authorizations before I install a SIM card or connect to WIFI

Thanks for all of your tips.

S.

Xposed requires root, which requires you to unlock your bootloader AFAIK. No other way around it. Check out the Xposed forum for more info on the Lollipop alpha release.

I was trying unlock Nexus 10 bootloader (not rooted) and I did so by running

fastboot oem unlock

and then to make sure everything worked I ran

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Now it is stuck on the boot animation and where ever I reboot into bootloader says "Downloading... Don't Turn off the target" and fastboot doesn't detect the device.

Pls help.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
that's "Download Mode", not the bootloader. Download mode doesn't work with fastboot, but with Odin.

you can reach the bootloader again by turning off your device, and then turn it back on using a button combo: POWER+VOL UP+VOL DOWN keys.

[General Questions and Answers] baitman2006:
hi there.

having only had a skim through a few of the samsung s3 developer pages i realise in severely out of my depth here, so please take it easy with me :o

i have just bought a samsung galaxy s3 and it has been rooted. neatrom v8.2, android 4.3.

i went for the rooted option because i was led to believe that it would then be possible to use something like adblock or ublock [popup blocker] as i use on my laptop. i watch football on a streaming site so adblock [of some kind] is kind of essential.

it came with an adblock app installed but it didnt do the job, and i have since tried a couple of others and neither seemed satisfactory.

so what i need to know is;

1, is it possible to get an adblock type of app [google play store] that will do the job required.

if its not going to be possible to use an ablock popup blocker then will i really need or be able to utilize the functions of the rooted phone. should i just go back to a standard install.

so, my next question is;

2, if i wanted to go back to the original OS is this just a straightforward factory reset, as in accounts>backup and reset>factory data reset>

any help is greatly appreciated. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Google play has stopped support for all adblockers as most the the available (free) apps are advertising based ;) Install FDROID (market) on your phone and then install "AdAway" using FDROID.

You should avoid a gactory reset when you're running a custom rom and not familiar with flashing your phone.

For get it back to stock you can download the original Samsung firmware from SamMobile

If you like to use stock Samsung OS, you can also root it easily.
[General Questions and Answers] baitman2006:
many thanks... :good:

i have just installed fdroid, then from there installed adaway, opened and updated it, so running. i will check it out on a streaming site and see if it does what it says on the tin.

if it works fine then maybe the root will stay.

if not, then what is the issue with going for the factory reset. will it melt the phone?

im a little confused with the last bit, please type sloowwwweeerrr :o

i can get the samsung firmware [is that the operating system] from sam mobile [as in your link].

are you then saying you can then root the phone to use the samsung firmware, but it will still use fdroid and adaway.

this would have to be super basic for me to even attempt it... :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You can install the stock Samsung firmware, root the device and install any apps you like. Adblocker for android are doing best with in app advertising. Most websites are spam free, too. If you need a really ad free browser you can try Firefox as it supports plugins and you can install the good old "AdBlockPlus" just like its used in your computer browser.

BTW

If you factory reset a custom rom, you wil probably just have the rom itself, not even google services or play store. As for a custom setup you "pick" all the parts you need/want and install it together using a custom recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] baitman2006:
its not really the browser or apps that im so worried about blocking ads from, its when im watching football on a streaming site, the amount of popups for gambling an sexy lady that also try to inflict virus warfare onto you is just unreal.

i will see if the adaway will do its job. if not then maybe i need to consider other options.

thanks again. im sure i will be back for some more parental guidance :highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] baitman2006:
i now have found out that every time i turn off the phone the message centre number restores to default [not my network] so unless i re-enter the number every time i turn on im unable to send a text message.

PlayStore issue : Apk not compatible.

Hi

I love MIUI rom espcially yours. Fasted, stable. You have a greated Job!

My phone is St25a e works perfect whit your rom, but have an issue:

Before the flash, i backup with Titanium Backup pro, some applications that was important. (APK+DATA)

After flash the rom, made restore with TiB all my app. All they restored ok except one from my Bank.

Try to install from PlayStore but now, it show as "this apk is not compatible whith you phone..."

I try to use Market Helper to make apk compatible, but fail.

Can you help me? Sorry my bad english.
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
First i'm not responsible whatever happens to your device.

Maybe working and other devices. never tested.

i saw a lot of people here missed their Xposed after update to Lollipop LB.

i found a way and i want to share it .

Edit: Now recovery works :D http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59879026&postcount=3837 thanks to [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION].

Before start make a nandroid backup via recovery and start from step 4.

Edit

video proof https://youtu.be/HKz1t8WKtQE of working Xposed

at Z3 D6603 LOCKED bootloader stock Lollipop .690

I tested 3 xposed modules

1.Greenify WORKS perfect

2.20mp superiorauto works

3.xprivacy i get bootloop and start all over again.

4. Gravity box WORKS

Edit: my Z3: prerooted .690 5.0.2 lollipop (baltic) D6603 if this helps

Now i have only Greenify module and after 50 reboots never had bootloop

maybe there are many module for 5.0.2 but never tested

What you see below is what i have done with my Z3 5.0.2 Lollipop LOCKED Bootloader

Steps for a working Xposed without bootloops at Z3 5.0.2 Lollipop :D

make backup via titanium backup or whatever

1. Downgrade .93 4.4.4 fresh ftf install with full wipes

2. root and install Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer

3. boot recovery, factory reset and install prerooted .690 5.0.2 lollipop zip (baltic)

4. not reboot. install xposed-arm-20150308.zip file via recovery

5. not reboot. install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

6. wipe dalvik/cache

7. boot system enable usb debugging, allow mock locations, disable verify apps .EDIT i don't know if that helps

8. install titanium backup

9. remove useless system apps via titanium backup (especially everything small apps even framework-small-apps) here i had force close reboot.

if not continue to 10. otherwise boot and continue to 10.

10. clean dalvik cache via titanium backup

11. reboot system

12. install clear cache app or other and clear dalvik cache (real clear). or boot recovery and clean dalvik cache

13. reboot wait art do the job

14. install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk

15. reboot

16. install Greenify(2.6.1) module

17. reboot

18. done

Edit: if not work try install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk before wipes and remove useless apss(step 9.). Not reboot before clean dalvik cache via titanium backup. and install Greenify(2.6.1) or Gravity box module at the end. not before.

The easy way maybe is the hard way :cool:
[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
Greenify is supposed to work without xposed. Could you try gravity box?
[Xperia Z3 General] ogunja:
Maybe ? much luck, oddly enough did that process and then I installed the apk Xposed and reset the machine gave bootloop
[Xperia Z3 General] fantasyduc:
do you try Gravity Box ? , Greenify can work without Xposed
[Xperia Z3 General] deck91:
Bootlop :(
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
Gravity box WORKS :D

did you try with downgrade and full wipes ?

and try install xposed apk before wipes and remove useless apss(step 9.)

remove useless system apps via titanium backup (especially everything small apps even framework-small-apps) how many small apps you find and unistall it ?

some days before i tried with different steps and not worked.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hani88:
and what about 20MP SuperiorAuto module ?? is it working ??
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
20MP SuperiorAuto module not working. :crying:

did you try with downgrade and full wipes ?

remove useless system apps via titanium backup (especially everything small apps even framework-small-apps) how many small apps did you find and unistall it ?
[Xperia Z3 General] ogunja:
No, the system is not removing apps or monstando RW / perfectly, so I used titanium to freeze
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
cannot have clean dalvik cache via titanium backup if you cannot mout rw.

try to fix rw first.
[Xperia Z3 General] MustafaSarhan:
It doesn't work, so why make a thread title indicating the opposite?
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
i don't know what you understand but it works.

i'm the only one in the earth with Z3 D6603 Locked bootloader stock rooted Lollipop with working Xposed :confused:
[Xperia Z3 General] MustafaSarhan:
I apologise, I was mainly thinking of X Privacy and you are right, you got Xposed in general to work.
[Xperia Z3 General] ogunja:
Any ideas to solve this problem RW
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
even in first boot with prerooted lollipop or kk i had system rw.

i don't why. many people in here have problem with rw.

i read somewhere here in xda that if you have enable usb debugging and connetct to flashtool problem solved. never need to tested.

the first thing i do every time to boot to a new rom is enable usb debugging, allow mock locations, disable verify apps and enable unknown sources.

if that helps
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I have the same, full working rw access since first time. Also disabled namespace separation in SuperSU. Works with ES File Explorer
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
i'm always with enable namespace separation in SuperSU beacause never had problem and no need to disable,

as i said i have full rw access from the first boot.

i'm uploading a video proof for the working Xposed.

i'll update with the link.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Namespace separation disabled seems to be only necessary for ES File Explorer. If you use Root Explorer maybe you don't need to disable. Didn't tried, but I have rw working this way. For terminal I didn't need to disable, just for ES

have you try without disabled?

Boot loop after install 20 superior...what's the problem?
[Xperia Z3 General] forisp2004:
is the first module install ?

before install any module must

10. clean dalvik cache via titanium backup

11. reboot system

12. install clear cache app or other and clear dalvik cache (real clear). or boot recovery and clean dalvik cache

reboot done

No whit gravity box all work fine whit no bootloop...

I should repeat the steps with each module I install? seems a bit 'boring

no. wrong words by me. before the first module only.

i install 20mp superior auto module.

reboot.

enabled via xposed

reboot

select from ui 20+15

reboot.

and works.

i tried it and it gave me bootloop,. have you tried rebooting the device?
[Xperia Z3 General] pandorla1984:
yes for Z3, I can have xposed working, but after reboot, it will bootloop. the workaround is clear art cache every time when you reboot.

it will cause your machine optimize apps every time when rebooting. very frustrating...
[Xperia Z3 General] nokbepogi16:
art cache and dalvik are similar innit?
[Xperia Z3 General] thedisturbedone:
Got recovery and ART working but nasty thing is I have to wipe everytime I activate a module.

Yes is very bad the procedure that at every reboot we must wipe-cache and dalwik... 10 min for me

[Xperia Z3 General] sjk971005:
I have not rebooted after this process, but I got it to work on mine by:

1. Take backup of phone before xposed

2. Install xposed

3. Install modules and activate

4. Reboot -> bootloop

5. Restore backup (system only)

6. Reflash xposed zip

7. Voila, modules enabled in xposed and working
[Xperia Z3 General] AndroPlus:
So the most easiest way is deodexing system (from this thread).

Have you tried and does xposed framework work without bootloop now?
[Xperia Z3 General] kjames2001:

No, I made a backup before. However, I had to wait two cycles of app optimizations because of that(reboot after restore system + boot after xposed flash).

[Xperia Z3 General] redincali:
Thanks, I didn't know that. Good thing I decided to just modify the zip that was posted previously.

For those of you that flashed the one I uploaded, I've noticed a few problems and have fixed them.

1. DocumentsUi is missing and is needed for the download manager, maybe other apps to.

2. A few apps were causing other issues so I replaced them with the stock odex version and now they work.

Gravitybox is not having any issues for me other than the recent apps button being invisible. Disabling the master switch for the navbar will bring it back but you'll lose the navbar features, of course.

These are the apps I replaced...

CredentialManagerService (crashed when viewing storage in system settings)

DefaultContainerService (crashed when uninstalling an app)

MediaProvider (can't remember what this was crashed by)

DownloadProvider & DownloadProvideUi (did these when the download app would crash, but figured out it was due to DocumentsUi missing. I still keep these installed as odexed versions just in case)

I'll make a flashable zip and upload it when I get home. I'll make a patch for those who want/need the 4 apps, as well as re-upload the fixed full version. Then edit my old post so theres no confusion.

Btw, not trying to hijack the thread(if it seems that way). Just wanna help since I find a lot of help here on xda =)
