Few questions... I want to flash this ROM and update. I'm on stock 23.5.A.1.291 and don't fully understand install instructions. There is fresh installation and From Stock Sony Marshmallow.

1. What should I do because I'm on this Stock Sony Marshmallow but don't have or can't enter recovery from that.

2. After Flashing ROM is it necessary flash only last update v.5.6.5 or all one after the other. I mean does v.5.6.5 contains all from previous updates?

Some step by step instructions :)

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TCS998:
You will need root(to getting advaced premision). Root tools for MM aren't avaible so downgrade to Lolipop and root (just google downgrade root xperia z3). Then you can install recovery on Lolipop(google twrp recovery on z3 Lolipop) then clean install (means wipe data, chace and so on and then install the Rom)

Hi there,

First thanks a lot for your work ! This rom seems very good. As you'll notice, my english is not perfect, sorry.

I've a little question aboout the installation of this rom. Let me explain :

I own a L55T, the Chinese version of Z3 and i live in France (why make it simple when we can make it complicated?) . The only way i found to have network here is to use the baseband 00011-07 that i found in the China Mobile ROM (23.0.1.G.0.87_R20B).

With this 4.4 rom, i cant connect in LTE (my operator uses LTE Band 7). But it's an horrible 4.4 rom, without Gapps and other improvements.

I install this way :

4.4 china mobile rom with flashtool

kingroot

dual recovery

eXistenZ rom 5.0.0 (install + wipe data / cache / dalvik)

patch 5.6.5

But i noticed the eXistenz rom updates my baseband ! And no more GSM / WCDMA / LTE ! I tried to flash "baseband only" from the Chinese rom, without success.

I can see the "amss" files in TFT folder of the zip, but can i just remove them ? Is there a way to use this rom without updating the baseband ?

Sorry for my long speech, and thanks in advance !
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I think (not sure) you can Just delete the baseband folder from the zip. But make a backup first, just in case.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TCS998:
Hey just use the flashtool and check just the Baseband from ftf. And it has to be a chinese Baseband. Read the Optins and be sure that it is flashing just the chinese baseband. It will work when you make it correct. (had some LTE problems with a France baseband and it worked with orginal Austrian baseband.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kemar:
Thanks blackhawk_LA and TCS998 for your answers !

I'll try the "remove files" method first, because my Flashtool (0.9.23.0) doen't have the Baseband checkbox anymore. I've to choose the files to exclude.

--> No more luck, i remove the files but the phone shows baseband "8974-AAAAANAZQ-00112-61"

I already tried to flash the chinese baseband only using 2 methods:

-creating a "firmware" with only files "AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS1, AMSS_FS2, loader.sin"

-Flashing the entire firmware, but excluding all exept "AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS_1, AMSS_FS_2"

I'll try again with an older "Flashtool" which has the baseband checkbox.

--> Same problem. I've tried with 0.9.18.6, exlude all exept "baseband", still no network.

I've nothing to loose, so i'll continue my researchs.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kemar:
[MENTION=6727857]TCS998[/MENTION] : Thanks ! Your method was the good one, but it seems to need sont other files, not just "AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS1, AMSS_FS2, loader.sin".

As it is a chinese phone, i search on "Baidu" some infos. I found a site which provides 2 files. A ftf with baseband files, and a ZIP with other files, a tree like "\system\etc\firmware" and 21 files "modem.b**".

I flashed the ftf witth flashtool, and zip file with TWRP, and all is now OK ! I can connect with H+, don't have a sim card to test with LTE yet.

But i don't understand why :( Before, Sega was stronger than me, now it's Google ;)

Will be another version of this rom? I think it's been a while since the last version.

And one more thing, Is there any UI to install on z3? Like ported EMUI 4?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Licaon_Kter:
https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/p-miui-8-t3519518 ?

You do realize Z3 will not be updated in any shape or form by official means ( http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-snapdragon-800-801-712930/ ) ?!

Hence, unlock bootloader (if you can)...

I don't mean the android version. The Existence version.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Licaon_Kter:
I understand, but the thing is that since there won't be any new version from Sony anyway, this ROM will not be updated.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] abhaykelkar:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bothered:
Is call recording part of this rom from what I have read it used to be

Then it was removed but I'm not sure if it was re added.

I have found zips to flash on mm if it is not added in this rom but not sure it is fully compatible.

But would rather know for sure if it is excluded or included for sure first

Many thanks

BTW I must also so thank you for this rom. It really is great. Especially what i like about it is the subtle unobtrusive Existenz branding. Very subtle and therefore stylish and classy. Too many times many great rom is ruined by horrible amateur branding of rom name. Not this one :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Call recorder should have been re-added. And if it don't, you can flash a call recorder mod you found on this forum, especially the Sony cross devices forums, as long as the MOD says it is stock compatible/orientated, you can install it.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kiripo7:
Thankyou.. Im using PureX rom right now.... So which one is better in battery management?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] abhaykelkar:
I have not used PureX. I am using this ROM and didnt come across any reason (like battery management etc) to switch to another ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] this Existenz ROM is OMS compatible ???, Layers Managers works fine and I did some transparent and dark themes for this rom including all icons ( including existenz icon ) etc, but I want to move to Substratum Engine, so the Substratum dev told me to ask you if your rom are OMS compatible.

I've been using my PS3 controller wirelessly with my Xperia Z3 for a few years now, along .

I've just upgraded to the official Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware and noticed that it only seems to have options for Dualshock 4 connectivity.

If I plug the Dualshock 3 in via usb otg, it works, but when I try connecting via bluetooth, it asks me to input a pin number, which I don't have, and shouldn't need.

Does anyone have any info regarding this?

Or even better, does anyone know a way Dualshock 3 support can be pulled from the Lollipop firmware and integrated into the Marshmallow update, if Sony are going to be so annoying as to remove it all together?

PS: I've also tried the Sixaxis Controller app on the play store and it doesn't seem to function at all.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] niaboc79:
Look inside systemUI smali, there is a file with blur in his name.

Open it and look at the beginning. There are some values in hexadecimal. Convert these values in decimal and you will find which ones are related to screen width and height.

Then use the correct values for xHDPI, convert them in hexadecimal and replace in the code.
