Hey guys I deleted InCallUI.apk by mistake. Could someone send Xperia E4(E-2105)'s InCallUI.apk file ? Please ! because I cant make calls , i cant get calls . Help me :(:(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Solidcancer07:
Found this post a few days ago. Maybe there is still a chance, we just have to be patient. Lately Sony has been on top of their updates. :)
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Solidcancer07:
Here you are, hope it helps and fixes your phone calls again :) I extracted it from my phone running firmware 24.0.A.5.14
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] berkayarda22:
Very very thanks but when i try to install apk , it says "the app couldnt be installed" . Why :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] jani0417:
Because it's a system app. Copy it to the correct folder (where you deleted it), change permissions & reboot.

Hey guys! Any news about any updates for the lollipop rom on the E2115 handset?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
So far news. Well it is not certain whether we will get the update or not.

But the hardware of the e4 will run marshmallow without any problems.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Lesa6:
Official Marshmallow or custom?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] jani0417:
boyz n girlz, E4

never

won't get LP/MM from $ony!!! and don't wait for custom roms, without a fully funcitional twrp impossible to do it.

and yes, android one devices with almost the same specs got LP/MM from google, but there is a tiny bit difference between E4 and those devices - google care with those devices, $ony do not.

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
It's funny seeing that Sony don't succeed their promises. Lollipop WAS certified as an upcoming update and in the end it didn't even come out. Maybe it was in works but was dropped, because to work on 129 euro phone's update is expensive.

Last thing to do (maybe it's possible to beg Sony to make that update for God's sake) is to sign a petition, so that Sony could see the need of that update. The same thing was done with Optimus L7 II - petition solved everything, even though it's actually a sheet of paper full of signs from users.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] jani0417:
lollipop update was never certified or promised for E4 by sony, only a tiny fw update was certified in last october which was never rolled out.

however before the e4 was released, e4 was announced to the press as a lollipop device and sony soon after that corrected this spec to kitkat and they started to sell the phone with kitkat. probably we never will know if they made the lollipop fw or not.

+ there are the androidone phones with almost the same specs, they got lp and many of them mm too from google. sony just doesn't care with the customers with empty pocket :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Lesa6:
Why dont developers make custom recovery and custom rom?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] kuba3351:
Oh my god, thia was desceibed several times in this topic.

This phone has a Mediatek chipset. There is no source code or any documentation for it, so developers cannot make a recovery for this phone. Another problem is a lack of seperate recovery partition, the recovery is included with boot image.

Making a roms without a recovery is not easy, and even if someone make a rom, it will be hard to flash it. So, if you would like to have a custom rom, you should sell your phone and buy another one.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Twski:
Can someone please inform me the default Xperia E4's system dpi (pixel density)? I have mine set at 240 in the build.prop, but I'm not sure if it's the default.

To check it just open a terminal emulator and type "wm density". It should report back the current dpi (no root needed)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
240 is the default value. ;)

BIG UPDATE! Hello everyone, recently I have purchased an Sony Xperia M4 Aqua and kinda dropped the E4 in the development side of things but now I'm back and I need some testers for a Lollipop rom (CM 12.1), If you want to become a tester you need to have an unlocked bootloader! If you do and want to help me feel free to pm me. I'm looking forward to bring lollipop to E4
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Lesa6:
When i go to service, it says bootloader unlock allowed: no :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] zokipfc:
i have e4g 2003,bootloader unlock alowes: yes!

All you have to do is to unlock the bootloader now, and then you'll have to send me a private message and I will explain to you how you can flash the rom!
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] perrots97:
Hi there, i'm new to the forum, but i've been following and modding from this forum all my tablets and smatphones. now i have an xperia e4 dual, and i would really like to test that rom. The main problem for me is that i use it as my daily smartphone: so. apart from the fact that i didn't undesrtand if it's possible to use it on the dual, how about bugs? all i really need is Phone calls, messaging, bluetooth, 3g connectivity and wifi connection. Plus third party apps of course... is still too early to use it as a daily rom?

Thanks for your replies :)
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Shot, I allways wanted to have lollipop but my fcking bootloader is locked and no way to unlock til the warranty is over. Is there any way to bypass that?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
Because of the almost unexistent support, it is to early to talk about a daily driver. Becaue this is a mediatek chip, it would be different porting all the Wifi drivers etc. compared to Qualcomm chips, for everything to work there needs to be a heavily modified kernel (would be easier if we had lollipop sources). I will try my hardest to make it a daily driver rom!
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] perrots97:
I understand, i know the problem. I've been on low end phones since gingerbread, had almost only qualcomm powered smatphones. had 2 meditek, one 3 years ago and the e4 now. I knew it would have been very hard to develop a rom for it. Wish you can do it, hope for the best... if it gets at least a little stable i would like to try it out, i'll keep an eye on the topic :good:
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Lesa6:
Is it possible to unlock bootloader if it says bootloader unlock allowed: no?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
I was wondering that too but I think thats impossible at least for free.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] greenvorbisfan:
I was able to unlock the bootloader on the official way to SONY website. As a model, you need to choose XPERIA E3 and will succeed

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Polis4:

I found these two;

Mmcblk0boot1

Can somebody explain what these are? Partitions?

They are both 4mb in size

And also I copied their contents to internal memory ,opened it as text it took a while to load but when it did I saw some text like "uboot" and "recovery" ( for some reason it won't let me attach the screenshot so I will post a link below)

Again , I'd be happy if somebody could explain what those are and what's their purpose.

***NEWS***

Its pissible to flash custom roms on our device.

you have to be rooted and have supersu installed,then dowoad "flashfire" from google play.

but you can only flash kitkat roms until we get a lolipop kernel.

you also have to propertly edit the updater-script if u know how.

i succsesfully ported,flashed and booted a rom from mtkroms.com
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] shinyghosts:
Which rom do you managed to port and how? please describe it? Thanks.

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Swediseatball:
How to port and flash custom ROMS on Xperia E4/E4 Dual

Note:

i was going to make this a new thread but xda wont let me

At the moment its only possible to flash KitKat roms until a lolipop kernel is compiled.

I only tested it on my device which is Xperia E4 Dual, but it should work on E4 as well.

Since there is no recovery for the E4, we need to use FlashFire.

backup your data beforehand. i am not responsible for any damage to your device.

What you need:

FlashTool [Mac/Linux/Windows]

Xperia E4/E4 Dual [Not tested on E4g]

Rooted with SuperSu [SuperSu only!]

A rom you want to flash [must be a KitKat rom for MT6582 ]

PORTING:

1. Get a copy of a stock rom for your device [.ftf file] from http://xperiafirmware.com/

2. Create two folders on your Desktop , named "stock" and "port"

3. Find your .ftf file and open it with any archive manager and extract "system.sin" to the stock folder we created in step 2.

4. Open FlashTool and head to: Tools -> Sin editor

5. Open your system.sin file in the stock foder and hit "Extract Data". After extraction is finished you can delete the system.sin file

6.Download the rom you want to port and extract it in the port folder. [its reccommended you download a rom from mtkroms.com]

7.In the port folder, delete everything except the folders "system" and "META-INF"

8. Open the stock and port folders side-by-side. Now do the following: [Read carefully!]

Replace from STOCK to PORT:

/etc/firmware

/etc/security

/etc/wifi

/etc/bluetooth

/etc/permissions

/lib/ [Replace ony the folders that exist in the port /lib/]

/lib/libaudio.primary.default.so

/lib/libcamalgo.so

/vendor/

/usr/

9.Now to edit the updater script.Open /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script int the port folder

Locate the lines:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "XXX", "0");

and:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "XXX", "/system");

Replace the "XXX" with the partiton name of your system partition. To do that, open Terminal Emulator and execute theese commands:

su <enter>

cat /proc/dumchar_info <enter>

this will give you a list of all the partitions on your device look for a partition named "system" or "android". in my case this is it:

android xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

now yours might be diffrent so change the updater-script accordingly.

10. add "META-INF" and "system" to a zip archive and copy it to your device.

FLASHING:

1. Go to the Play Store and download "FlashFire" by Chainfire.

2. open it, grant Root, and hit the plus button

3. Select Wipe and choose the optins you would like. i reccommend just checking the first three.

4. Select Flash Zip or OTA and locate the rom you ported.

5. Hit the Flash button.

DONE!

your screen will go off and it will say loading and then flash fire will start.

dont worry if it takes a while to flash.
