[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] newsony:
Check out faux123kernel enhancement app.

There are some more apps like screen adjuster free they don't seem to have true native screen adjusting.

There are many screen calibration apps for nexus 4 .don't know whether they will work for m4.

I also have a problem on the Xperia m4 aqua .the edges of the display seem to have a dark hue on the status bar and navigation bar.

I think it is not a problem with the device.

It is actually material overlay mode.

I am still trying to find an app to change it for the default Sony ui.

Well the problem disappears after installing another launcher like Google now or nova launcher...

I too am not happy with the Xperia m4 aqua display. It is not very good compared with Samsung J5 amoled display and other 720p ips panels.

Very Poor contrast ratio , black value is not good and display is not excellent in color pallete.

But slightly better or equal to moto G 2015.

Hope this works for you.

So,

Today I flashed the UK BTU firmware (G920FXXU3COI9). However, when I extracted the file it had 4 files for AP, BL, CP AND CSC so I used them all. However, now I can't go back to my previous firmware (G920FXXU2COH5) because when I try flashing it with Odin it says on the phone: sw rev check fail.

I want to go back to this firmware because I have a Nandroid backup with all my stuff and it doesn't work when i try to restore it on the new firmware. Can you help me with the right file to flash? Do I need the CSC file of the old firmware as well? Can you help me please?

Hi

Thanks so much for Lollirock Andriod 5.1 v2.1 - i've been using it successfully for a few months. I opted to upgrade to the version based on Android 6.0.1. Before flashing i installed factory Android 6.0.1 as instructed. Once that was up, running and fine i tried flashing lollirock Android 6.0.1 v.1.2 - using the following steps:

1) fastboot flash boot boot.img

2) fastboot flash system system.img

3) fastboot -w

4) fastboot reboot

All i get no errors it causes it to just open with factory Android 6.0.1. and not Lollirock. If you have any advice, please let me know...

Thanks

Hi,

I'm creating this thread to gather development informations about Acer Liquid Z530 and 630 series.

I own the Z530, right now it's nearly impossible impossible to install Custom roms on the device.

The bootloader seems to be locked by default, I tried to unlock it but ported roms can't still boot.

the "fastboot oem device-info" always ends with error. It says command not found.

I also tried to compile custom kernel but the process always failed because of erros that I can't fix right now.

I'm trying to port CM12.1 from Blackview Alife P1. The first attempt failed even after patching the boot.img (to use stock zImage with cm12.1 ramdisk). I also tried to compile a cm12.1 compatible kernel using sources provided by Acer and Cyanogenmod toolchain; it ended with erros as said before.

I suspect the bootloader to be the problem. If any of you guys have a solution, tip, suggestion etc. please comment.

Using a rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. And twrp 2.8.x.x

(I searched for a twrp support thread but could not find one).

I want to restore an old twrp backup I had made some time ago (with an earlier version of twrp) and moved to my pc. So I copied that backup from my pc to the twrp folder in the nexus 5. But when I reboot into TWRP, twrp lists other backups, but not the one I just copied back into its folder.

How can I get twrp to see and restore that nandroid backup?

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] showlyshah:
Hey fellow xda members,i want to share an idea about how to disable the latest security check or even drm check ( in case of unlocked bootloader) .

We all know sony have a TA partition which contains certificates which are used to start the functioning of xreality/ bionz engine and noise cancellation engine. Which when we unlock the bootloader will wipe away by wiping the Ta partition or parts of it..

So after wiping it,when the phone boots the os will be doing some security checks which involves the checking of certificates and if the certificate is not available ,the os will disable certain functional parts and binaries which are responsible for starting xreality/bionz and noise cancellation. So if we are able to stop that security check or interface the returning value ( just like what xposed does) then we can possibly stop these problems .

Another point to be noted that,is we cant use any any apps or such things to stop these things. Becoz this check is one of the first things that happens when os boots. For those who have examined the logcat will always see a TA certificate check that happens at several instances especialy ,it happens when the os boots.

Now we have a similar situation before,sony's RIC policy. That too was running at boot time ,even before os boots . But we are able to disable it ( huge thanks to the cleaver developer) . So my point is... if we can analyse and kill the drm check or pass a verification true value to corresponding check via some scripts similar to " RIC killer script" , cant we possibly disable this condition?

Any discussions are welcome. And ideas and trial and error scripts are also welcome.. you dont need a particular device to check this.. as far as i know all z series ( just because i had only owned z,z1, z2, z3 so far ) have this. But the bad thing is , i dont own a sony now. Switched to edge plus for now. But once if this can be done.. i will swich back to z series again.. becoz i just love sony.

Request to Moderator:- I have created this thread here because to catch more attention for this development. But if you feel this thread belongs to some where else ( as this can be a cross platform hack) you can move to corresponding section.

Thanks all
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DHGE:
is it worth the effort?

You can hack anything if you have the resources.

Most important are (in decreasing order):

- knowledge

- time

- determination

- documentation (preferably official - unlikely for breaking DRM)

- tools (debugger sw, maybe even special hardware for debugging ROMs)

e.g. noise cancellation

If it is "in" the software and just disabled when a certain check fails:

Then you could monitor the software in the debugger and patch the check to deliver your desired outcome each time the check runs.

This is a very simple scenario.

There are anti reverse engineering measures available that - see resources esp. point 1 - can be overcome. SONY use some of them and stacks them one over the other.

With each update of any involved component the cycle must be repeated as the crafted patch probably won't work anymore ...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] showlyshah:
ya , that is the case to be considered. but you know, the thing is, if we find the suitable patch once, we can make it work on future versions also. and it is 100% true that these loopholes will be patched once they got notified. that may be the exact thing happend with sony's lastest security procedures.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] blakwhite:
Noise reduction and noise cancellation are two different things. Noise cancellation (as in audio) is not affected by unlocking the bootloader.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] KWOKSFUNG:
DRM function hack is a pretty complex procedure. But it can be done. [MENTION=4699816]jimRnor[/MENTION] actually did it from Z - Z3, but seems it doesnt work for Z5. (Not sure about the Z3+/Z4, which doesnt even seem to exist in the world)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DHGE:
Please don't get excited about my example .

To clarify what I mean with stacked measures:

In the boot process the device checks the signatures of the system software. Once you patch any bit there the device does not not boot anymore. You cannot just calculate another signature since this is signed by SONY's private key. You'd have to steal it, they revoke it ...

So you have to (thanks SONY we can!) unlock the bootloader to flash a new kernel that disabled the checking (search here or on the web for DM_VERITY).

SONY have another proprietary measure: RIC (on top of DM_VERITY which is an Android/Linux feature since KitKat; universely in use since Lollipop).

Then you have SELinux...
