Here is the guide how to make kitkat look like lollipop for xperia E4. :o

Well some of you might already know these tricks. :p

Required softwares -

1.Exposed framework(hope you know how to use it)

2.Flat style status bar/tinted status bar

3. an app to get color hex code

How to get material status bar

- use Flat style status bar/tinted status bar

I found the tinted status bar app to be less laggy . but it doesn't work for most apps after 2015 March. But what I do is take a screenshot of the app and use a color code picker to get color of the status bar.I mean the hex code. I then manually change tinted status bar color code of the particular app.It works great.

But for Google playstore and Google keep app can only have one static color.no change to it.

If you want to change for all apps use flat style status bar.

It can even change for the playstore and keep app as well.

How to get the lollipop navigation and quick settings panel

Fmd L panel

http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/guide-t3137424

This works for my old phone Xperia E1. I am yet to test it for the E4.

So you are warned before trying it. ;)

Other lollipop phone app and dialer app can be found by just Google search.

Install Google keyboard and change to white material design theme.:cool:

Any additions to this guide will be warmly welcomed.

I don't know everything I might have skipped some more things that I could do.

And another thing there is an app called monsterui .I think it works for Samsung lagwiz well. But when I try to enable the lollipop quick settings and notification panel .my E1 device got bricked. So be careful.

I don't use this app since it only changes animations and all .which I don't care about.

Good luck.

:D:D;):good::cowboy:

If it work it will be so good, i want lollipop for this phone
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
This phone should fly with Lollipop, even if it has only a gig of RAM. Plus Lollipop would use a much newer 3.10 kernel, which should significantly improve performance, increase battery life and etc. Phone already does fly with Kitkat (that lag I get every once in a while is OS lag, phone is powerful enough to run Android flawlessly) We can only hope that Sony will push Lollipop update as a gift to make other manufacturers feel lazy.

BTW, I borrowed a PS3 controller and got a new Bluetooth keyboard for 1€ yesterday and both worked great! :D

Btw, you all saying that the phone doesnt have enough memory to install costum recovery menu, http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/philz-touch-recovery-for-all-mtk-devices.html?m=1, did you see this?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
I have seen it before. But didn't try as I didn't want brick my phone. The site owner even recommended me a specific lollipop rom out of the lollipop roms in that site for the E4.

The site owner is a professional in mediatek rom development. You can ask anything from him

And he will reply.

Since Xperia C another mediatek has a lollipop rom too .I don't think it is impossible to make a rom for E4. Since I am not a pro at developing roms .I didn't give it a try.

Good luck.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Thanks for telling me that, i will try to install a costum recovery and install a rom today.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Tried with Philz and Twrp, but the app cant get the recovery img :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
Did you ask from the owner of mtkroms site about the E4 recovery what we should do?

Since the recovery partition is too small.

:)
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
No, i will ask why the app cant get the recovery img because the tutorial says that if you have a small partion there is a option to bypass, you have to do something manually but before that it must get the recovery img
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] KamrapterHD:
MonsterUI doesnt work on E4. I have tested it. Some of the functions work like colored checkboxes and the recents panel. But the status bar doesnt work. It keeps saying "System UI stopped working". Then your status bar and navigation bar disappear and you have no wallpaper. Dont try unless you can find a fix.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Also how long will it take to make a Recovery Partition if you can?. Also I thoguht sony was meant to release Lollipop for E$ in December. Its as if they dont really give a damn about this phone.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
There are no developers interested in developing for the Sony E4.which is mainly because it is mediatek.I have to say I made a terrible mistake buying the E4 since The E3 has marshmallow roms as well now.:(

Getting a recovery might be never.

But I am pretty happy about performance of the device .:laugh:

I get stuck with it.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
I have E2115 dualsim model and I can unlock the bootloader .

Sorry I haven't unlocked yet.

Useless to unlock the bootloader, since we have no recovery no custom roms. We only have root.

Unless if you are a developer .

:)
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] aceventura81:

Maybe Google for sim unlock as well.

Has anyone edited the build.prop on the E4

Firmware version 24.0.B.5.14 or 24.0.A.5.14 ?

We might be able to get bravia engine 2 working on the E4 if the build.prop can be edited.

Actually I want to know whether anyone tried out the build.prop tweaks as well.

Use kingoroot pcversion.

It took me more than 8 hours and trying for about 6 times to get root on windows 10.

And try older versions of kingoroot root as well.

Plus the kingoroot app require 100% power to operate .so don't do any power hungry other work will rooting.

Use kingoroot on windows 8/7 if everything fails.

There is another new root method as well by the creator of this thread.

Check it out too.

But kingoroot by the PC method is easier.

Don't forget to click thanks.

You mean the kingoroot root PC version right?

The apk version of kingoroot doesn't work for E4 at all.

Sony hasn't changed the firmware so it should work for you guys as well.

No recovery for E4 since recovery partition is too small.

You can try it but will not work.

No lollipop update as well.

We can't even make a lollipop rom ourself since we have no recovery.

There are many lollipop roms for mtk6582 that we could have tried.

I think this is the only mtk6582 device with no recovery.

Even chinease iPhone / galaxy clones can be flashed with recovery.

:(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Solano Benz:
Wow this is like the only phone without a recovery, damn I can't partition my sd card then. It should be a policy for every android device to contain a recovery mode

I think it is possible, we can try a 2nd init recovery, or just flash the rom with fastboot. I have an Sony Xperia E4g and I unlocked my bootloader and tried to do something, but I can't make working boot.img, it doesn't boot all the time.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] aceventura81:
Kingroot no working for me. I tried pc ? versions as well.

Bootloader allowed: No

I contact carrier and they will fix it.

The problem is not the small partion, i tried some apps and it can be bypassed, the problem is that when it tries to push the boot.img it doesnt work so it cant install a costum recovery?

What is better for gaming? Sony Xperia e4 or Sony Xperia e3
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Twski:
I would say E4.

Say what you want about the MT6582 but it definitely doesn't lack performance. I've seen quite a few devices with the Snapdragon 400 struggling to run heavy games, not sure if it applies for the E3. I'm not a heavy mobile gamer myself, but I do play GTA San Andreas on the E4 and it was better than I expected.

Plus, in the E3 there's the really annoying problem of having just 4GB of internal storage. You probably aren't going to be able to download anything without relying on modifications (link2sd, xposed obb to sd, etc).

The bigger display and better resolution of the E4 is also something to consider for gaming.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
And don't forget to note games look really better on the E4 because of the resolution.

You will see a difference between e3 and e4 if you run asphalt.

Although e4 has an aging mali 400 mp2 I even played fifa 16 on this device. But it lags slightly.

(I sideloaded the apk and obb)

Fifa 16 is supposed to be a game which work for only SD 801 and above.

So definitely e4 is better.
