Dirty Flash successful

Hi Folx, hi Moly,

yesterday i tried your new build - first backed up my existing system and then flashing the new AIO dirty - afterwards simply cleaning cache and dalvik. This way all information are kept. There is only a little risk, that there are some unknown incompatiblities which cause system instabilities. (just for information, because such questions occur from time to time ;) )

Now is the time to check - there are no system instabilities at the moment. I observed only one misbehaviour. The system UI is not always scrolling smooth - but afair this is a general problem with the ported Z5 system UI. For now i can'T tell you sth. about the battery life. Gimme some time and i report again.

Cheers & THX [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks mate.

about the scrolling thing, I didn't port any system ui from z5...?! just ported few Z5 apps that shouldn't affect systemUI.

everything is pretty smooth here, or at least as before with previous FW I would say, only once I had some glitches/artifacts when swiping/scrolling, but a reboot fixed that. did you experience the same? or you mean some slowness in general? if so, it may be due to the dirty flash, or otherwise a new sony bug I'd say?! ;(

so happy with battery ATM, but it is the first cycle so too soon to celebrate...!! :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FlintStoned-:
Thank you for your quick reply, much appreciated. I deleted the Nova Launcher from the system/app folder with a root file manager.

After rebooting the device, I'm stuck on boot animation.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
but did you install an alternative launcher first???
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FlintStoned-:
Oops no, I did not. I thought it will give me back the original Sony launcher. I thought wrong. I can't have the original Sony launcher back?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
OMG!

no sony launcher was replaced completely....

now to fix enter TWRP, mount system, open the file manager, and move the whole "home-release" folder you will find in '/system/__Backup/system_app' to '/system/app' and reboot.

or just dirty flash again my full rom without wiping anything ;)

bye
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FlintStoned-:
Thanks Moly, If I understand right, I boot into Recovery, go to Mount and enable MTP, Then on Windows use the file manager to navigate to the system directory and move the folder. Correct? Thing is, the folder is empty in Windows so there is nothing to move.

I also did a dirty flash.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
no... go to twrp > mount and enable system

then from within twrp, go to advanced > file manager and do all the stuff I suggested from twrp directly ;)

if you do another dirty flash now will fix that btw, as it will reinstall novalauncher in system
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
Not Windows, the backupfolder for deleted apps is under root/system/_backup
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
Ok my fault - i thought you also integrated the Z5 UI because i read about it in the cross section... :o

You might be right - i tested around again and i couldn't reproduce the scrolling problem - seems as if a reboot solved this problem - so don't mind :cyclops:

THX Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
As far as i can tell there has been a change in the mixer_path.xml file.

The file has now 140,27 KB instead of 139,37 before.

Do you recognize more loudness?

I am not sure x)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
Some words to rom/new Firmware:

edited updater-script to attend my wishes and flashed dirty from .546 firmware --> all fine here!

Some things i noticed:

- UI is smoother - scrolling through menu and apps is faster

- Multitasking seems better --> recents are faster

- cell signal seems better (Vodafone here with very bad signal - EDGE -89dBm 12 asu now, before it was poorer

P.S. can some upload the folders: "Phonebook" and "InCallUI" from system/priv-app from the version 5?!

edit: or can someone say if there is an "arm" folder in system/priv-app/InCallUI" or only the apk?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
For both Phonebook and InCallUI there is only the apk inside ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
is someone interested in call recording feature?

if so, I can include it in an eventual next version, or already tell you how to get it to work in V5 ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] CAL7:
Does Call Recording work for Hangouts calls, or just the standard (cell) dialer?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]

having problems with incoming calls:

If phone is in standby and call is coming in, I can't deny or accept the call via slider :/

Deleted to much? CallWidgetFrameworkPermission or similar?

Is the InCallUI which comes via extras.zip from Z5C?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
don't know about hangouts sorry never used it for calling :silly:

working perfectly here sorry, maybe you messed up something when touching the scripts? ;)

yes InCallUI in Extras zip in v5 is the one from z5c
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
But I haven't deleted more as in your script...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] systemallica:
Had this exact problem 10 min ago, I can't take nor deny the phone call :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
So it would be nice if other users with v5 can test this...

EDIT:

same problem with google InCallUI from here:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-dialer-mods-1-0-t3115001

If phone is in standby(display off) there is no chance to swipe the bar...

If phone is on (display on) InCallUI is showin up after 1-2 seconds and i can swipe the bar...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
so strange here it has always worked fine since I installed V5 with both screen off and on... will monitor it and see....

in the meantime you can maybe try replacing Phonebook and InCallUI with the ones from V4 and see if it fixes the problem? if so it will be because of the Z5 stuff.... :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
Tested with stock InCallUI from .200 from the ROM, its worse
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
the only things I changed in V5 that could be related to calls/dialer are phonebook, incallui and conversations (messages) from Z5: try restoring all of them from the backup folder, it must work then!

but does it happe all the times for you? or just sometimes? and even after rebooting?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
+1 tested it one minute ago - the same behaviour here ( provider 1&1 - dirty flashed ROM )

Another strange thing is that another ringtone is played - not the selected ....

It seems as if the Z5 stuff isn't integrated correctly -

afair somewhere was a hint that sony's launcher must be available in the system folder, to work correctly with Z5...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
mhm sony launcher was needed in KK to avoid FCs during calls, but it was never needed in LP. so it can be a new thing of the new FW or the Z5 stuff don't know..

unfortunately can't test here as I don't have any problem ;( you should try yourself and report. if I were you, I would start restoring what I wrote above, and just just if you still have problems you could then try restoring also home-release.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mj084:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]

Must be something other - Conversations deleted here since LP, Phonebook is a apk.bak and InCallUI.apk.bak --> to use Google InCallUI, so none of them are in use...

[MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION]

You have all 3 related apps there right? Conversations, InCallUI and Phonebook? Mean the from v5

[MENTION=4726673]systemallica[/MENTION]

Did you a clean flash or dirty? Maybe these cause the problems? [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
just experienced the same problem here! and also the ringtone problem.... :( so I can start investigating myself as well ;)

ps: i clean installed the rom first to test few things (no calls though) then I restored my backup (/data only) to get back all my stuff. so actually it is like if I did a dirty flash ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jakal46:
#507

i have the same problem.

i clean installed

i nothing deleted

thanks

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

+ #512 (Ringtone too)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
An additional information:

a total clean installation creates the same problem so the V5 itself has the problem and it doesn't depend on dirty or non-dirty flash...

Now -> i restore my old version - SRY but i also need the phone ;)

Cheers

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
OK so I'm trying with this config: stock phonebook, conversations and incallui, sony launcher back to system, and stock systemUI (with bad spaced status bar icons and lockscreen clock with same thickness for hour and minutes).

...right now all good, calls and also custom ringtone. so I'm confident it will work fine?

will monitor and see, in the meantime if you want you can repeat my config and test as well ;)

if this fixes things, will then try adding things one by one to find out the real culprit ;) but i think it is the z5 stuff..

bye!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
:( all the others I can do without but the bad spaced icons bugs me.

Good luck
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] scarshi:
5833 really needs this new .200 update. Tried the Indonesia version but had to go back to AIO 4.4.4 due to I'm not very good at rooting and adding xposed to these newer firmware. I didn't have luck creating a stable flashable firmware. If someone could provide a pre-rooted .200 with xposed (if possible) flash version for 5833 I would be grateful :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
me too.. in fact I'm testing now with fixed system ui installed ;) :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
And the next Firmware is already on the way -> http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/25/new-firmware-23-4-a-1-232-certified-for-the-xperia-z2-and-z3-series/#more-38068 hopefully with the stagefright fix included.

I hope you could identify the culprit - But i'm not sure why a lot of people is complaining about the battery life. What especially is stressing the battery ? The Google Play Services ?

Cheers

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
Hope so!

where did you see people complaining about battery life? i could only see positive feedbacks about battery with latest fw so far! and I'm happy about it too :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
still problem with fixed systemUI! ;(

maybe the culprit is indeed the patched systemUI? being from a old fw it could be.. trying now again with stock systemUI let's see what happens..!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
yes i think the problem is the systemUI only... with full V5 and only removed patched systemUI, I'm not able to replicate the call problem anymore.. if someone else wants to try as well i can tell you how to do that ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ninjazin:
Please, do tell
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
Sry - i didn't express it clearly - i was speaking about the FW before .200 -

Good, that you found the cause for the problem :good:

Thx for your efforts again
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
ok so yes fix confirmed.. the problem is the systemUI only...

solution to fix things is (either if you are still on V5 or not, it doesn't matter):

1. download this small zip fix

2. from recovery, wipe system, cache and dalvik only (no data!)

3. flash AiO V5

4. flash fix you downloaded at #1

5. reboot/done ;)

let me know guys, tested here and all fine now ;)

ps. this way you will have gap in icons in status bar and not so good looking clock in lockscreen.. but still better than a not working system [emoji14]

about the clock, I'll fix it next week, while about the gap in status bar we will have to wait for [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION] if he will hopefully update his mod for .200 fw ;)

many thanks [MENTION=1239635]mj084[/MENTION] for finding the bug and testing the fix with me! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
First : Fix seems to work - i tested it a few times in the last minutes :good:

Second: also from my side BIG THX [MENTION=1239635]mj084[/MENTION]

Cheers

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] CAL7:
So, I'm on v5 without the fix; but I can't replicate the problem. Maybe I don't understand... with the phone on standby, screen off, an incoming call wakes the screen and I can answer. AFAIK, I don't have a problem. Is there something else I should be checking?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
it is random. i didn't have the problem for days, then it appeared suddenly.. so i suggest you to apply the fix anyway it will probably appear sooner or later ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
Here's the systemUI.apk fixed for .200 :good:

http://d-h.st/Xp3G

It's odexed, so be sure you already have the .odex file too.

It's not tested yet, please report if it works.

Later I will make the deodexed version for everybody and post it in the proper thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
working great mate! many thanks for the fast response.. respect!! ;)

so only lockscreen clock missing.. i will try to add it next Monday! wonderful! :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
Thanks [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION] :)

What do we have to do now with the file?

Replace the SystemUI.apk file in system/priv-app and change persmissions to rw-r-r ?

Anything else?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
what i did was just moving the file in system/priv-app/SystemUI overwriting the old one. then system ui get crazy, so reboot to recovery long pressing power button

then in recovery mount system, and then chmod 644 systemui.apk

reboot

done ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
You lost me at "what I did was"… LOL. Anyway I don't understand what the problem was that we needed to actually fix. I have not applied the fix that you are talking about and want to understand before I do. Maybe I am indeed experiencing the problem, but don't seem to have an issue with it. Can you mention what the problem was again please? Thx! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] polykoma:
Hey guys

sorry for the unrelated question.

But is there an manual equalizer in this rom?

Maybe its uninstalled or smth...?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
wow - i needed some digging to get behind the "chmod 644" but i finally got it!

it Works ! Thanks guys
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] anuser:
Yes! Please

There is an EQ in the Sony Music app > settings > audio > sound effects > EQ
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ninjazin:
Not that anybody really cares but with. 200 support for dualshock 3 seems to be removed, now only getting instructions for connecting dualshock 4 when restoring DS manager
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cyphomatic:
How is full device encryption doing? Still creating endless bootloops?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] konjiki7:
Does fw a.1.200 still have the terrible data hand off from one signal type to another?

(constant turning mobile data on and off to get the os to realize data is available)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
if someone is interested, this is the systemUI i will include in next version, with the fix by [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION] to remove the gap between icons in status bar and the clock with bold hour and thin minutes I have just added ;) feel free to try it already ;) :o example screenshot

EDIT: and this is the call recording addon. again to be included in next version. just decompress the zip, and copy the 'CallRecording' folder in /system/app. then correct permissions, reboot, enable the call recording in call settings, and that's all. all credits to [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1879618]IaguCool[/MENTION] (still not really clear to me who is the author of this mod/idea :p ), reference thread ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
never used full device encryption so don't know sorry.. but the bootloop was in stock rom as well?

never had this problem so can't answer sorry, maybe others who experienced that problem can tell you something... in the meantime I am happy with .200 that has better battery for me.. now it really seems I have almost the same stats I got in KK :victory::good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cyphomatic:
Encryption on the stock works perfectly. The only reason I and probably a bunch of other people stick around without root.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
ah ok so it is not related to my rom right? just to understand, otherwise I could have investigated about the packages I removed! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] IgorEisberg:
Rajeev followed the instructions I gave him and made a post about it with a ready-to-use file, that's all there is to it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks for clarifying mate! ;) since you posted here, can I take advantage for asking you and/or [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] if I can include the apk in the next version? giving all proper credits in OP of course! ;) :o :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cypher_01:
It's no problem for me to replace the file and fix the permissions manually, but it would be nice to have a flashable zip doing everything automatically. I have not yet tried to create a flashable zip by myself, otherwise I would have done it.

Anyway, thx for your Rom, I love it! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] IgorEisberg:
I don't really care, you needn't my permission. Even so, CallRecording.apk is publically available on the Chinese firmware anyway.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
will do asap! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mcgrathpatj:
Is anyone else's ES File Explorer NOT allowing root access? Mine turns on and then off after 1 second or so. "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot be run on your device".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cypher_01:
Usually I'm using Root Explorer, but I tried ES and I also have this problem.

Also I couldn't uninstall the App using Titanium Backup, it says "APK-file not found". I wanted to uninstall it completely, reinstalling it from the Play Store, and try again.

Edit:

OK, I "uninstalled" the App by uninstalling App updates from the Settings and deleting the folder /system/app/ESFileExplorer using Root Explorer. After a reboot, I installed the App from the Play Store and now root is working.

This is a dirty workaround, but at least it solves the problem for now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
are you on unlocked booloader maybe?

btw yes to remove ES just delete it from system/app after uninstalling eventual updates :)

ps: .200 fw coming for d5833 too... [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION] do you think the systemUI you prepared for d5803 will work on d5833 too? or maybe they changed it someway in d5833? don't think so? tx ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] polykoma:
no sony Music app here ?

do you even use the Rom from this thread ?!

there are some Options under Audio. but not an Equalizer....

thanks :=)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
There is an equalizer

settings > audio > sound effects > EQ

You shouldn't activate clearaudio+ to get access to the equalizer's settings....

Cheers

[MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION], what theme are you using?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] polykoma:
ahhhhh

thanks for putting the tomatoes off my eyes ....

i dont know why but i just didnt saw it or had clearaudio activated.... thanks again !

danke!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
still so good battery in latest .200 FW wow! :victory:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mcgrathpatj:
Thank-you Moly82. I was not thinking clearly on this. I re-flashed my old NANDROID and it unlocked the bootloader. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] anuser:
:laugh:

can the system UI be reinstalled with the fixed one to correct the recieving call problem or do i have to reflash with the fix and wait for the next version for the new sUI ?

not that it needs to be said again, but great rom!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
I'm not using a special theme only another font - Yaahowu Font Pack Xperia LP -

you can find some other fonts here - they are flashed via recovery - be sure to backup your existing system before flashing just in case... :o

Cheers

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
ok so guys please flash this via recovery and let me know if it works fine. with this zip you will:

- fix the systemUI (call problem)

- fix icons gap in status bar (thanks [MENTION=4708091]istux[/MENTION])

- add call recording feature (thanks [MENTION=1879618]IaguCool[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION])

- improve clock in lockscreen (bold hours, thin minutes)

you can flash this either if you still have the call bug or also if you have already flashed my previous fix (so u can add clock improvements, icons fix and call recording all at once)

just to be sure, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the zip and reboot

PS IMPORTANT: for call recording feature, you need to enable superuser mod in xperia xposed module, or you will get FC always when making calls! also, remember to enable call recording function in call settings. if not interested in call recording feature, just delete the CallRecording folder from /system/app and reboot!

bye!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fr3n2y:
Wow! How do you get this battery life? Stamina mode? Without stamina my record is about 4 hours for screen on and about 48 hours of battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
just stamina mode (extended) and greenify ;) :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
I am using rooted 5.0.2 ROM(D5833), can I just flash your ROM v4 in TWRP to get the 5.1.1 ROM? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
yes, but I suggest you to wait a little more, today or tomorrow I will upload new version for d5833 too based on new .200 fw ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
To make sure,

I need v5 from OP then flash this over the top?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] if is possibile to be known, which app do you greenify? Even I used to use greenify combined with stamina mode, but I did not get so much screen on time :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
I would quite like to know this too. Obviously its somewhat personal. but I never had any luck with greenify.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Thanks. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
what version are you on now? if you are on v5 yes, just flash my zip, otherwise you can also wait for v6 that will be uploaded soon and will include everything ;)

but are you on .200 fw? that's the real trick, they really improved battery in this latest fw ;)

btw what I greenify is usually what I see in always running apps and I am sure it shouldn't, among my personal apps (only data apps) that's all ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
Thanks , waiting for v6 then.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
V6 ready for both d5803 and d5833... will upload later today ;)

bye!
