[SuperSU] jomirguez:
Hi,

I'm trying to root a recent Mediatek arm64 Lollipop ROM and get that not having a patched recovery is a real problem

But I Have a Factory ROM, with scatter file. So I can readback/reflash /system with flashtools.

This make me think I can root the ROM using a shell script after mount /system on a Linux (Ubuntu) PC replicating, at last, part of what SuperSU install script do.

I'll glad to read others ideas about that and what maybe the install method:

- Do a preroot work, reflash and install supersu from Google Play

- Do a full root work installing supersu in /system/app and let SuperSU autocheck finish it at first boot after reflash.

Thanks in advance,

Hello guys, I just brought Xperia M2 D2302 and I've seen that there isn't any custom ROM for it.

So can anyone, or guide me through the process of porting CM12.1 ROM or any other ROM to my device?
[Sony Xperia M2] proadi96:
You won't be able to port it, wait for the devs to do it. They know what they're doing.

You might like to consider looking at this thread..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3042439

Also if you are new try to avoid unlocking the bootloader..

If you decide to unlock it first thing to do is to take backup of ta before unlocking..

So for time being i suggest playing with roms for locked bootloader as they are easy to unbrick and also no warranty is void..

NEW OP FOR BRAND NEW STUFF !

Now, Xperia Z4/Z5 lib and framework files are ported to 5.1.1+ including Marshmallow.

Just flash this zip in recovery : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347843173

Now, enjoy easy install of Sony Apps. Maybe they wont install, so push them to /system/app or /system/priv-app

Hi.I installed music and album apks , they work fine.But can't flash zip file on my Nexus 5 running Blisspop 3.2.I'd be happy if they could install.But thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
Flash the zip. Maybe it fails. Now read the text displayed by the recovery log. Says you must mount system manually on TWRP or CWM, and reflash zip.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DroidXAce:
Not work :/

E:Error exe****ing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/SonyFiles.zip'.

I mount system manually..

I use TWRP.

I've extracted the walkman app and installed it normally and it worked flawlessly on CM12.1 Hammerheadcaf. :)

A bit off topic: I tried to install the walkman app on my Stock G2 Lollipop 5.0.2, it got installed, but when I open the app, it Force closes, the same with lower "8" version ports. It used to work on Stock G2 Kitkat.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shoeseat:
Does these apps work on stock Roms like cataclysm? any workaround to work? want to try walkman/music app ::)

Edit: I tired walkman/music app on stock cataclysm and it's working great. Thankx for the port. There is no clear bass in this verson? sound enchantment takes me to stock equalizer :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
This features requieres additional Sony files. You can use Viper4Android, its workin' perfectly with Walkman for me.

You gave me an idea. Stay tuned ;)

Thats not off topic dont worry ;)

Try to make a logcat, or make a backup of Stock LP rom, and flash the Sony files flashable zip to see if it resolves. I recommend you to make a backup in the case of flashin results in a bootloop, i just tested it on Euphoria-OS AOSP on my Nexus 5.

If not, make a logcat extract and submit it to pastebin.com, and post the link

Are you sure /system is mounted ? If yes, maybe there's a problem with your TWRP version
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shoeseat:
i saw on developer's thread that ur trying to port xperia z3 lollipop ROM :) Is the project still active? Since i used sony phone previously, i like it's UI and apps. Will love to try your ported ROM.

Music 9.0.1.A.3.0 Beta

I dont faced it personally.. Dont use CWM, its discontinued, use TWRP instead, and it should work.

I just updated Music app to 9.0.1.A.3.0 Beta

Sony seems to have added a quick button, with new settings, allowing to read some playlists.

Here's APKMirror changelog :

Change log:

- Quick play button (Experimental feature)

- Color picking on landing page items

- Misc bug fixes

** Please note that the beta application is not fully translated. **

I wont notify every update i make and upload on my Sony AndroidFileHost Folder, so subscribe to Sony Music app updates on Pushbullet, and when you see an update, the ported apk will be available here as usual, within 24 hours.

Some apps just require one line deletion on AndroidManifest.xml to run perfectly on some devices, other, not.

Music app is some of the apps just requiring one line deletion to work.

Video was a line creating a conflict with other apps.

Album app is one line deletion too

Idk about camera, because i cant try the app (cant build it)

Continue to submit apps to port if you want, if you need it, and i will see if i can. this topic is here for that ;)

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
I seen it ofc, guys ;)

But there's the reason i didnt ported it : the Beta app currently in my folder has latest BETA changes, and the """latest""" music app (not beta) released 2 days ago revert latest new changes from beta. So, beta has newer features. If you want to keep one beta app, and one regular, give me a sign, and i will keep both btw

Get a logcat

It must work on all AOSP/CM 5.1+ ROMs, even Marshmallow

It is possible, but I can't make a flashable zip with it, because small apps require some Sony framework files who are inside framework.jar. but framework.jar is different between each ROM and each device. If u want Small apps working, search for a tutorial of porting Small apps (should exist) or give a try to Nexperia ROM by me and [MENTION=5186735]Tazerick[/MENTION]. Only available for n5 BTW.

Can you please elaborate how to use this framework to install sony music app?

I am running MIUI7 with android 4.4.4 on Mi4
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
Just dirty-flash this framework zip in TWRP over your current rom. Then, install SEMC Music from apkmirror and it will works flawessely. You can push it too to /system/app without installing it and fixing permissions and reboot. Then, you will have Play Store updates like Sony devices

Camera needs framework.jar edits, what cant be done for generic devices. So, u need to port it yourself if u want it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] ravishmahur:
Fixing permission?

Can u tell exactly what permission to fix and how using es file explorer?

sorry i m new to this..

and by dirty flash u mean ,just installing it normally via recovery like we do for any zip file?

And by SEMC Music u mean the normal sony music app?

Thanx for being patient ,in advance :)

And this will work for android 4.4.4 in miui ?

Just confirming to be sure
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
Fixing permissions are like that :

create a folder /system/app/SEMCMusic ==> permissions 755 using ES File explorer if u want

push SEMCMusic.apk (this exact name as the folder) to /system/app/SEMCMusic/SEMCMusic.apk and fix permissions 644.

Flash framework in TWRP like any other zip

just reboot.

SEMCMusic is regular Sony Music app
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] ravishmahur:
Dirty flashed the framework and tried installing the apk.

Then tried making it system file as per your instructions.

Did not work.

So this framework that i installed ,is there some way i can uninstall it or is it not necessary?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
Not necesary uninstalling it. What doesnt works ? App not showing even if you set it up to /system/app or what ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] ravishmahur:
I flashed the zip.

Then i tried installing the app from apkmirror downloaded from here

THe app didnt install,it showed some error.

Then i followed your instruction regarding making it a system app.

After i rebooted nothing had changed , i did not get any icon or anything of the app.

I had done everything exactly as you had written ,changing the permissions and all.

See if you can help out it any way :)

No man, grab the part related to the app installation error or paste the entire logcat to pastebin.com.

Launch "adb logcat" and run installation. You will see a java exception. Thats the error i need. I might not solve it but i can see.

Whats that logcat ? I dont see any installation error. I only see Sony SmartConnect crashes dues to java classfiles missing in dex or jar's files.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] darwinzp:
Thats it, i can installa every appp from sony, but it doesn't let me use my smartband. It crashes whenever i connected it via NFC.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:

Hmm good question, i dont have it either. Maybe SEMCAlbum widget is managed by a separated APK. I had a look to a stock Xperia Z1 rom and i didn't seen a APK name who made me think of that btw.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shanx_verma:
Hi, this really helped me A LOT when there seemed to be NO Way to run Album and Music apps from Sony on my Xiaomi phone on CM12.1.

Now with CM12.1 development stopped, and upgraded to CM13 instead (shortly going to be CM14 maybe lol), I am unable to flash this / place these files in the respective folders as that either results in bootloop / has no effect at all on the ability to install and/or make Sony apps compatible on Marshmallow ROMs (results vary, depending on AOSP / CM baseof the ROM, I suppose).

So I would want to heartily request you [MENTION=5512499]dekefake[/MENTION], to please port these (or their counterparts from a Sony stock MM ROM) to AOSP Marshmallow.

Would be really, highly appreciated (as I couldn't find them anywhere else at all. :( )
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dekefake:
Unfortulatelly, its a generic zip, supposed to work on all arm/arm64 based phones, on both Lollipop and Marshmallow. It shall even work with N. I use it since i published it, in all roms i use, including my Oneplus 3 and OxygenOS based on 6.0.1.

If you have bootloops flashing my zip, please get a logcat, to see whats wrong. To make a logcat, please search in Google, and please paste the text content on pastebin.com or zip a text file containing logcat, and upload it as attachment.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shanx_verma:
Thank You. Let me try flashing again, next time I update ROM, and I'll surely attach the logcat then. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shanx_verma:
Oh wow! Clean flashed the latest nightly from Cyanogen's website, and the bootloop is no longer there. Seems like something in the ROM was causing it.

Hope other ROMs follow suit with that commit. ;)

Just one last thing I wanted to know though - Are these libraries, like, being updated by Sony inside their newer phones, or does it make no difference to sound / image / video quality etc. in Sony apps if these libraries are / are not replaced with the latest ones from Sony.

.

E.g., I recently flashed Sony Xperia X Premium Walkman zip to my AOSP ROM after flashing your MOD. Before that, i had checked the zip to see which files it might replace, and had already renamed them so that I could compare. And compare as I can, some files with duplicate names (thus having the same purpose), had a noticable difference in size, and music / video / image that were played in the boot after the changes.

.

So how can I safely update to latest libraries without breaking the functionality of dependent apps etc.? :) :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] bejunk:
I have the Album working on AOSP / CM 13, think 12.1 should also work. Its linked in my keyboard thread! I can make a zip also with latest sony music app, but its.only the app, not sony soundenchantment.

Peace ✌
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aouerfelli:
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate this project, and I've been using it for a long time.

Does anyone happen to have an addon.d script that will keep these files when updating (I use the CM nightlies, so I update a lot)?
