Hello,

you then can not simply boot file from this Rome take and these are not separately flash? Thinking as to the system to the HTC one x, as was the bootloader also blocked!

Can the operation?

You can't root on anything but .128. This is where the fun begins, re-read all the posts above, but essentially you have to;

1. Install .128. Root. Install root bootloader.

2. Extract system and kernel from the .92 firmware using FlashTool. Stick in the root bootloader package you flashed in (1). I'll call this (a)

3. Put (a), the m4 extras zip (b) and aosp rom (c) onto your sd. Reboot (the root bootloader requires some up down pressing, it's different from unlocked bootloader)

4. Add -> (a) -> (b) -> (c) to the flash queue and flash.

Reboot and wait a long time.

Links etc are all on the previous posts in this thread. It does need a formal write up though as it's not obvious. I couldn't get asosgp to work with > .128 so you must update the kernel. .92 worked fine for me, but .167 had the same animation loop issue.

¿Has reinstallado el rom? Occasionamente, reinicios al azar occuran por algo tiempo, y se desaparecen. No hemos visto a [MENTION=4850409]dimusa[/MENTION] recentamente.

Have you reinstalled the rom? Sometimes, reboots happen for a period of time, and they disappear. We haven't seen dimusa recently
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dimusa:
I know it, but I study and sometimes make difficult to answer the xda post. Anyway, I´m preparing the third version of AOSGP

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rasce:
So which version is the best for this rom ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
A simply awesome rom, just what I was looking for.

I own a E2303 with locked bootloader (just my luck), but managed to install a recovery and root it by following the instruction found here and here.

I was using firmware 2.167, which I debloated a bit by using SD Maid and Titanium Backup, for a few months now.

Decided to give this rom a try, so I upgraded to firmware 3.111 (using the same process listed on the second link above, but using 3.111 system and kernel files instead), and then installed AOSGP as instructed here.

Worked like a charm, and it's running rock solid. No problems whatsoever so far.

If I may make a suggestion: perhaps it would be nice to include a file manager in future releases. Maybe a media player too, like VLC or something.

My thanks to the developer, this is a very nice rom indeed.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] donalberto17:
this rom includes sony camera? if not this is the only thing who doesn't make me flash this rom
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
It comes with a very basic camera app, but the camera button on the bottom right side of the phone doesn't seem to work as intended.

I went to the Google Play Store and installed Open Camera. It's free, no ads, good quality.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dimusa:
The 26.1.A.2.167 is the best base stock for AOSGP

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Suppeman:
I tested this rom. Pretty good but diealer, messages and contacts didnt work so flashed back to normal.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
I'm not sure if it's from this rom, but there is a game (well, it was 2 games, but one of them I uninstalled) that an issue with the sound.

The first game where this happened was Warship Girls Project R.

Once one of the background musics (BGM) finished playing, it not only would not loop the BGM, but it also muted all the game sound and lag the game interface. In some of the game menus, scrolling the screen is nearly impossible, almost like the touchscreen lost almost all touch sensitivity. Weirdly enough, the game buttons were OK.

One way I've found to fix it was to force-quit the game and go back in, but it would only last until one of the BGMs stopped playing ...

Another way was to just turn off the BGM in the game options. Without BGM, the game runs as it should, no problems ... other than no BGM.

Eventually, I got bored of the game (chinese moonrunes everywhere) and uninstalled it.

The second game where this happens is Panzer Waltz. This one has a similar, but different behaviour.

Once a BGM finishes, it does not loop, but does not mute the game. Changing screens to one with another BGM, it plays the BGM as it should. But it does not loop the BGM. The sound effects (SFX) still play as normal, regardless.

When the BGM finishes, the same interface lag appears. Scrolling the screen is nearly impossible, but pressing the game buttons is OK. Moving between game menus to make the BGM play again fixes the scrolling screen problem, until the BGM finishes playing again.

In combat mode, if the battle takes more than 1 minute or so, it sounds like the combat BGM stops playing all of a sudden, although the SFX still plays as normal. The rest of the battle gets a bit laggy as well, almost like the game is using half of the phone processing power to try and find the next BGM to play. When the battle ends and goes to the results screen, it all returns to normal.

Again, turning off the BGM in the game options fixes all these issues, but playing it without BGM is ... meh.

About the phone where this happens, it's an E2303, locked bootloader, rooted with TWRP Recovery, with AOSGP installed on 26.1.A.3.111 firmware.

Since this rom comes with a stereo mod, I went to the Stereo Mod page and installed his V3 version. No changes in the games sound issues behaviour, although the sound in general is better.

Other than that, the phone works wonderfully.

Sometimes, when I have to reboot it due to app updates or something, it gets stuck in the loading screen (those 4 colored thingies doing funny stuff), so I have to hard-reset it. It then boots normally like nothing happened. I suspect that this happens when I have it connected to the computer while rebooting the phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
Sorry for double posting, but it's just to inform that AOSGP has nothing to do with the BGM issues I described above.

I flashed a normal 26.1.A.3.111 firmware, fresh from XperiFirm, losing everything, including root and TWRP, in the process.

Downloaded and installed Panzer Waltz from Google Play Store.

BGM issue still persisted.

Then I flashed 26.1.A.128 and did the root procedure for locked bootloader E2303, and got it up to 2.167 (rooted + TWRP).

Downloaded and installed Panzer Waltz again from Google Play store.

BGM issue still persists.

I guess that the problem has other origins, maybe the game coding or the phone itself.

Oh well, back to installing AOSGP and put everything as it were.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] snoopy20:
All fine for me.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gahehe:
After flashed this ROM, my M4 sound become too loud and cannot hear properly. When I comeback to stock rom, everything is normal.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
With this ROM the battery is draining faster than normal, had to switch back :\
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] snoopy20:
Battery life for me is amazing. Ensure you've cleared remaining crap like google services.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
Settings > Sound & Notification > Audio Settings, turn off all options.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gahehe:
Yeah I'd did that, it only lower the volume, but the sound still so terible. Wiped back to stock and the sound came back to normal. Don't know why.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Can I Install the stock camera app on this? Like moving the SemcCameraUI folder to the SD and then back to priv-app folder?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
Go to the Stereo Mod page, more specifically this post, and download the file he posted.

Unzip, copy to /system/etc (overwrite when asked), set permissions to 777, reboot. Make sure those options in Audio Settings are off.

I think Open Camera, from Google Play Store, is way better. Free and no ads.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dimusa:
Thanks for wait! I´m working in a custom rom based cm13 (thanks to [MENTION=4473389]tonystark88[/MENTION] for sources) and in a rom based in stock for Dual-sim phones... And for Single sim user, I have some news... :D
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
Nice!

These last days I did an experiment: my E2303 had AOSGP installed on 26.1.A.3.111 firmware, but because you said that the best firmware for this rom was 26.1.A.2.167, I did the necessary procedures to get AOSGP on 26.1.A.2.167.

Let it run for a few days, and when the Xperia update nagged me about a new update ("could not verify" and persistent notification message), I did it all over again to get AOSGP back on 26.1.A.3.111.

What I found out: 26.1.A.3.111 gives better battery life and better performance to AOSGP than 26.1.A.2.167.

I have no screenshots to back up my claims, so you'll have to take my word for it. Also, you can try it and see for yourselves.

This was done on a locked bootloader E2303, so it was a pain to install firmwares and roms and recovery and root back and forth.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sobee:
Hello guys!!! How can i install stock camera? Or how can i reactivate camera hard button and lockscreen icon??
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
You can try this method. Or you can go to Google Play Store and download a camera app. Open Camera works wonders, it's free and has no ads.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Newbie question: I have installed this ROM on the .167 firmware and via Diagnostics I can see that there is a software update. What will happen if I try to install the update? Will I be flashed back to normal or it won't install?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
[MENTION=7138936]nrokos[/MENTION] it won't install. No harm, but just won't install.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
Like AndyPhoenix9879 said above, it won't install.

In my case, I had an annoyingly persistent notification in my bar, that wouldn't go away no matter what I did, saying that an update was available.

Ended up manually updating the firmware to the latest and reinstalling AOSGP.

Locked bootloader, flashed via flashtool the 1.168 firmware, rooted via rootkit, flashed via TWRP a prerooted pack with 3.111 firmware kernel and system, flashed AOSGP via TWRP.

No more annoyingly persistent notifications.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] truong90:

4. Flash the AddOn (its important to keep all funtions of your M4 Aqua)

5. Flash the ROM

How to do this?

[MENTION=4850409]dimusa[/MENTION] in order to build this ROM, did you have to do anything special? I mean stuff like modifying drivers, or similar things. I was wondering if it would be enough to follow this tutorial from sony in order to build a completely clean AOSP rom, without any sony software (I want to try it): http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/aosp-build-instructions/how-to-build-aosp-lollipop-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/. Apart from adding the kanuti and tulip repositories to the .xml file, would I have to do anything else?

How to get this rom working on dual sim variant? (E2363)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] coelhooliveirar:
It would be great to have a version for E2363.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] waffledup:
i was able to flash the rom successfully but i can't log into google play store now
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Umhh, can this ROM run on .311?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
I assume you mean 3.111.

Yes, my E2303 is running this ROM over 3.111 firmware, and it's very stable. It's been about two weeks since I last rebooted the phone, and I do some heavy gaming in it. No freezes or crashes or bootloops.

On a related note, any news on ROM update? Has it been abandoned, since it's currently a stable version?

I mean, I think this is the only custom ROM for M4 Aqua where everything works, and it's mostly debloated and faster than original firmware. And the premise "if it works fine, don't mess with it" would be very valid here, meaning that a new version wouldn't probably be needed.

But it was hinted a while ago that something was in the works, and since then not even a word of update.

From what I've read in other forum threads, I am lead to believe that dimusa is collaborating in a CM13/MM sort of ROM project, but I don't know how much of it is true.

What's true is that this ROM here may very well be the best and most stable custom ROM available for the M4 Aqua. All the others are in beta or alpha stages, and are most likely missing lots of functionalities.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
I'm pretty sure this is just a ROM based on stock, as mentioned in OP :eek: But otherwise yea, this is one of the most stable ROMS we have

How much space does this ROM use? My girlfriend has the 8GB model and I am looking for a stable, unbloated ROM. Anybody who has installed this, what is the "System" size in Settings>Storage?

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JohnTheFarm3r:
It's aprox. 3.10 gb free space. If you want a smooth, fast, and stable rom, this is your best choice. It's deboloated. I'm a heavy user and this is so far the best choice for me.

I tried already porting this http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-xperia-z4-framework-sony-stock-t3154772 stock camera by following some tutorials , and i did it, camera worked but i had some problems, i could not save to sdcard, and after flashing, the phone started to act strange, he was saying me all the time, to make sure i have more than 250mb of internal storage for the system, and i had more than 1Gb, and it was laging and heating a lot. So i dont know what was the problem.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] StoyanP:
Saving to sdcard is one of the features I can't do without, and that is why I wanted the stock camera anyways... Guess moving my photos manually to the sd card will have to do for now.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JohnTheFarm3r:
Well, you dont need to do that. Just download some other camera app, and use those. For examle, i use sometime th Camera FV-5 And Cinema FV-5, both of them have posibility to save pics. to the sdcard. ;) And if you dont like those camera apps, there is plenty of others on the store or on the internet which will satisfy your needs, like the stock sony camera did. Stock camera is not the best, believe me, i did a lot of tests. P.S. i'm in photography so i understand really good, all this things. :)

Hie guys...

This Rom didn't work for dual sim devices when i tried,the sim card did not get detected...

Is this problem still there???
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kam0laZ:
So, after some months using this ROM, which I've said before and I'll say again, is the most stable custom ROM available for our M4 Aqua, I've found a problem.

I've recently got a mobile internet plafond, but when I activate mobile data on the phone, it does not detect any connection.

If I turn on wifi, I can successfully connect to any wifi network, provided that I know the respective passwords.

But mobile data doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem?

M4 Aqua E2303, running AOSGP 2.0 on 3.111 firmware.

PS: If you check my previous posts, you'll find one about sound issues in certain games.

I still haven't found a fix for that, because it seems that noone else is experiencing that issue. I kind of suspect that it may have something to do with either this ROM or Xposed.

I'm tolerating the current state for now, but once root, recovery and Xposed install methods for locked bootloader comes out for the recently released Android 6.0 firmware, I'm going to change to that.

The firmware is already available in my country, it's only a matter of downloading and flashing it.

EDIT: Disregard the mobile data issue. Turns out that I only had to activate data roaming and allow local network connections for it to work.

Which dualsim addon? I just see there is only an addon and there's nothing to enable dual-sim in the update-script (just curious). Btw, can it enable dual sim on stock 6?
