This is now outdated newer version available under 5.1.1d6708rom .

This is a twrp backup of 5.1.1 for the z3v.

Its debloated,I just deleted what I consider crap you can always reinstall apps via the playstore. Its deodexed with superuser mod thanks to Zach pope which is a pain on 5.1.1.

So to install u must have twrp so.. Go to your twrp folder on internal SD card

The path should be twrp/backup/letter&#s/PutMegaDownloadInHere..Go into recovery then backups then restore. after WIPE DATA,etc. Hit the thanks button.

Changelog-debloated-75apps,deodexed

Asop battery icon,Asop quicksettings icons, z4 bootanimation,Fm radio added,max bright flashlight Build prop with lots of battery savings, no check tether, multi user enabled and sound enhancements. Superuser mod.

This build prop took a month to create then I had to update it to 5.1.1 so please hit the thanks button for that alone you have the best build prop I have ever seen. Enjoy.

This stuff takes time hit the thanks button.

Yeeeeesssss!! Wonder why no one replied to this long-waited, rooted, and debloated ROM?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] snowman7:
Can anyone confirm that this method does work? Not meaning to sound rude but I thought it would be more complicated than just installing a backup. I would like to say thanks for the time you spent putting this together helping the rest of us 5.0.2 guys out though! ?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] khuongduy20116126:
I have succeeded to Upgrade to 5.1.1 prerooted from 5.0.2 prerooted.

Step 1: create a backup via TWRP.

Step 2: deleted everything in folder you have just created

Step 3: copy Tigerhoods's file to the folder

Step 4: restore via TWRP

Step 5: wipe data, etc then reboot. Wait about 15 minutes and enjoy Lolipop 5.1.1

Special thanks to Tigerhoods
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] shashikiran:
can I restore only data of my own from twrp after restoring your 5.1.1?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] snowman7:
Okay, thanks for the heads up. I will give it a shot now. Thanks Tigerhoods!!!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Astoras:
Thanks!!! This worked flawlessly. Even has SuperSU. Much appreciated.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Sepo190:
Root method

Did you root this with kingroot and then switch over to SuperSU, or is there another way to root 5.1.1 with SuperSU?

Also, thanks for the upload.

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] lotfi2016:
Thanks very good job I'm from Algeria and it work very well but no advanced calling
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] cccthestyle:
MD5 or SHA1?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Kfc.:
few things I noticed after recover'd from the file Tiger shared,

1. No Advanced calling (not sure why since I had it on my 5.0.2?)

Here's my work flow:

1. Recovered from TWRP with the file Tiger provided.

2. Wipe Dalvik cache, wipe data.

3. Reboot system.

4. Factory Reset.

5. Activate Advanced calling then Reboot.

Anyone experienced same/similar issue? I might flash back to 4.4.4 and do OTA upgrade to 5.1.1, and kingroot it.

Please advise, and thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] gunz.jones:
Have xposed installed with gravity box and no issues. Loving that 5.1.1 seems to have fixed the lag issues I was having with 5.0.2. Thanks for this.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
try turning the volte toggle on in settings under more- mobile network . Let me know thanks
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Kfc.:
Thanks, tiger. I checked the setting you pointed out. There's no such option for me, kind of weird...
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
no I'm running a different build I thought that was in there nm. Well im not sure what to do call Verizon have them toggle it.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Kfc.:
Hmm, interesting.

It shows enabled under my account if I log in to my verizon, it was working on 5.0.2 with the same way of activating it.

Does any of you in US experiencing same issue?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Kfc.:
Found another issue (probably just me), that I can't make phone calls (bi-directional)

I always got Server unreachable everytime I call out or received phone calls.

Changed all settings I can probably think of but still no luck, going back to 4.4.4 and start over.

[MENTION=6963384]Tigerhoods[/MENTION] Is there any way to re-enable the Small Apps task bar? It's one of the greatest multitasking features I find on Sony devices since we're not going to see it till Android N.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
I had this problem your phone maybe broke if its doing that I had the same issue it has nothing to do with my build as I had this problem on bone stock 5.1.1 its a 5.1.1 upgrade issue but.. To get a halfway working phone for those where the update isn't working right with advanced calling turn off the feature and factory reset and then don't activate it that's the only way to have a working phone. This is why I am getting an s7..lol
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Kfc.:
I see, thanks for clarifying, unfortunately I am still on payment plan, will revert back to 5.0.2 which I got everything working instead. Thanks for the time and effort helping me troubleshoot.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
hey giga the small apps yea I just hate those taking up part of my screen..you would have to reload the small app framework, services and the small apps the folders are still in the system.. So yea that's work..I will pm you on Friday maybe I can send you them or re-upload it with the small apps.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Don't worry about it now. I got it back by transferring the system apks of the small apps and framework from my Z3 Tablet Compact to my phone and install them as system apps. It works like normal again!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] three5media:
Advanced calling is working for me. I'm in the US.

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Giga,

For us morons, can you put together another zip file with included small apps, brighter flashlight and instructions for root from non-rooted 5.1.1? I really would like to debloat myself and need small apps ready to go.

Thanks.

I can't voice how much the battery has improved by your modifications. It's incredible. Thanks so much!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] gunz.jones:
Yes, it is supposed to take a while on the first boot to get everything in order. Up to 10 minutes or a little more.

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] LeifEricson:
Alright, after some painful issues with Java and getting back to a rooted 4.4.4, I can finally report that I am on 5.1.1 with full root running this backup build. I ended up having to use Kingroot on 4.4.4 because my computer refused to cooperate, but after flashing the prerooted 5.0.2 FTF and restoring this backup I now have SuperSU, with no remnants of Kingroot left on my device.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] stingershive:
New to the z3v, from a Samsung S4. The Z3v Is a great phone. Thanks to Tigerhoods for this backup. I have been waiting patiently postponing the OTA. I feared the Ota would not be rootable and maybe diminish any chance to maybe one day unlock the bootloader/roll back to 4.4. I know this is a big thing I am asking. But Tigerhoods or Gigaspx can you please upload or give the exact way to get and install the small apps tray. I tend to agree with Gigaspx about the usefulness. I haven't installed the Tigerhoods backup yet and am a newbie. But will soon.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] snootched:
Most of the camera apps are missing, were they removed or is it just my phone?

So I am on rooted 4.4.4 right now.

1. Do I also just restore this as a backup?

2. I also have xposed modules installed, will I have to uninstall them?

3. Will I lose all my pictures, music, documents, contacts etc?

4. If not, can someone walk me through the steps I have to take? I have never updated to new software through a backup.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] salouri:
Thanks a lot! It's amazing...I was on 5.1.1 before using my international Xperia Z2, but on Z3v it's different! It's even better performance wise (maybe the hardware upgrade now paid off).

I noticed two more things:

1) Your backup doesn't have the built-in MAIL application (Luckily I backed it up, I prefer it over Gmail).

2) My phone's reception is better?! Did anyone guys notice an improved SIGNAL or is it just my imagination? (out of happiness maybe!)

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

More feedback:

1) Bravia Engine 2 is new to me, compared to Z2 5.1.1 (made my game graphics shine on the screen!)... Expect battery cost

2) Adaptive Brightness is way more responsive than before.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] salouri:
FYI, my Xperia Home was crashing after this update because of an E-Robot (similar to Tasker) task to toggle screen lock. I disabled it and every works like a charm.

I installed Xperia Home 10 and the updated Email apk and I love the result. Again, thanks Tiger :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Tiger,

Can you take a look at this? The voice input key in the Android or Xperia keyboard is greyed out. Voice search is working on the phone. It's just this issue with the keyboard. A patch or manual fix instructions would be greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

OK, Got this fixed by installing the Swype free keyboard. I didn't proceed to the dragon TTS install and just exited the app. Upon completion the ASOP, Google and Xperia keyboards all show the voice input key. Then you can delete the Swype keyboard app. Weird.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
I don't see an option for Volte under more.. mobile network. The Advanced calling feature in settings is greyed out in your v2 build. Thinking it was just working I tried to call my son's S5 and confirmed it isn't. It did work on 5.02.

Can you fix?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
OK so on the keyboard voice input I uninstalled Google voice so that's why..I don't think I properly installed voice search which only works for playstore ,browser,maps As an alternitive. On the advanced calling I did find that sometimes it won't let you activate it when upgarding. The only solution take a backup of your 5.1.1 including data turn off advanced calling on my Verizon mobile then switch back to 5.0.2 activate advanced calling wait reboot make a call check your advanced calling toggles are there then restore back to 5.1.1 with your data you should have advanced calling and the toggles. Sorry for the trouble this has nothing to do with my ROM.

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
not sure I don't have anything to mirror you should check with the flashable zip guys.. That's weird I didn't touch anything related to screen mirroring.. im going to be turning this into a flashable ROM very soon with black settings,notifications,almost all apps will be dark themed trust me its better your eyes won't hurt anymore. More sound mods +++. Here's a screen shot of what's to come
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] shakan09:
can you make it true black?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Anyone..... Please see if you can use screen mirroring with this V2 build. Love this build and the battery life but will have to give it up if I can't get this feature working.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Tiger,

I can confirm that the 5.1.1 zip Giga put together has screen mirroring working. I can test or do whatever to try to help isolate the issue with your build but have spent several hours trying everything I can think of to resolve without success.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
I'm going to upload a new version soon I have a friend that can test screen mirror is working I will make sure it does... Good job on going through everything welcome to a devs world. It could be something like a slightly corrupted download or something. I really don't think its from anything I did. The new upload will also include the mms bug fix. I would like to have it ready by tommorow night so hold tight.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Astoras:
Sorry to be nooby here, but will your theming effect the default framework for theming? I made my own little special theme with the creator at the Sony site, and also other themes across xda.

Hope it doesn't effect anything, if not, oh well. Might as well get used to it.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
it shouldn't I mean I have themes I use and playstore themes work

With my setup. I will probably just upload a light and dark versions just in case people don't like dark themes.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] cccthestyle:
I'm really excited for this new dark rom. I loved your backup but had to go to giga's for stability. I'm not even getting 4G on your backup for some reason but it's working fine on giga's
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
4g like volte or internet 4g are you in the united states.

I just got a notification for a system update and its persistent, so i can't dismiss it. How can I get rid of it? When I long press on it and click on the "i", it just has an option for priority notifications.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Just to help out on here, sometimes you may need to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off to see if it works. That's happened several times to me on 5.0.2.

This is because this build is not the latest 5.1.1 build. The update is for the R30C, which patches the Messaging app problem, which my zip is already based off of.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] NMEAGENT:
So is there a way i can get rid of the notification, or disable OTA updates in general?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
yes find the software update app in system and rename it with a .bak at end or delete it. Problem solved it's just an app like any other.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] cccthestyle:
I tried changing everything, nothing worked. Not a big deal as long as the new ROM is based on the newest FTF

He's still working on it per a PM he sent a couple days ago.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
Yes I'm still working on it I lost everything a couple days ago and wanted to break my phone with a hammer. I have added back the stuff I had lost mostly but its a slightly different setup then I had. I need a day or two for testing. but my free ram is 1.9 everyboot, its a good setup. I'm working two jobs now and don't have as much time as I did. so this will be realeased as a twrp back up again and then later turned into a zip- when I have time.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kublakhan:
I bought a used Nexus 6p and got it added to my account. The phone connects fine to LTE and the data/Internet work fine. However, it can't make or receive calls. I took it to an AT&T Technology Center and they claimed it was a hardware problem with the phone. My friend stopped by today and his t-mobile nano-sim works fine in my 6p, both data and phone calls.

So far I have flashed the factory image with the latest from Google and wiped the cache. The problem seems to be software related to at&t. If it makes a difference, this was a Project Fi phone originally. I used the APN settings that were loaded via the sim.

Any suggestions on getting it working? I don't have a provisioned nano-sim, so I can't do much troubleshooting at home. I have not tried the different Band 6 or Band 7 as in some previous posts.
