Flashed stock back is the problem!! You flashed .305 instead of .253 thats it! So flash the. 253 and your fingerprint will work again ;)

Her is the backing up tool first.

Then you will need to unlock your bootloader by getting your unlock code from sony's site and use the flashtool to unlock it. Then flash any custom kernel (andro's and zach's are the best), then twrp as a recovery. The use the recovery to flash v3.0 then 3.1.1.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nibleheim:
Just curious if you know where to grab a .253 opposed to a .305, or if you know where the file that the fingerprint sensor lays under?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wookiee:
Used RomAur before ROMX and had random reboots from time to time. Flashed ROMX and got stuck in bootloop. After flashing Sunkernel everything works fine since three months without a single random reboot. Thanks for your great work _LLJY.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Eh, still testing. I'm really busy with life now so give me a couple of weeks.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
Any. 253 will get the fingerprint working and you can find it in Xperia flashtool.

Hello. I am Z5 Compact's owner and we don't have too many custom roms for us... Hardware isn't that different (or is it?) so is it easy to port this to Z5C? You can make many Z5's littlebrothers owners happy :)

Many things are different actually, would love to do it but too many things have to change.

Hi huys, first of all thank your for this rom, it's amazing. But i have an issue with the wifi connection. I can connect in wifi but all it say "No Internet access Detected, won't automatically reconnect"...

Have you an idea ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] redxslash:
Running ROMX version 3.0 and it works amazingly since It is very stable. Only bad thing about the ROM is all the bloatware and the battery life. I believe the bloatware is causing the battery drain issue. So does anyone know what apps are safe to freeze in titanium backup?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] willcas09:
when upload to version .305?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] klemen241:
he is working on slim rom, which will be extremely debloated
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
[MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] already removed some useless crap but you can still remove or freeze alot more apps depending on how you use your phone.

After updating to ROMX v3.1.1 I still removed 110 apps or extensions and other stuff that I dont need.

For instance I dont use widgets (other than the devcheck cpu frequency widget you see on the screenshot) so I removed the standart widgets.

Also I dont use calendar, so I removed all the calendar stuff..... and so on.

With alot of apps you can see by the name if it is something you use or not and if so it will be safe or not to freeze/remove.

If an appname is something you dont recognize by its name and dont know if it might be important I would hold back on freezing or removing it.

It mostly depends on what apps and functions of your phone are important to you.

Here's a screenshot of the first 8 that I removed. I could scroll all the way down and show all 110 if anyone is interested but again it depends on your own type of usage of your phone.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] redxslash:
Definitely interested in seeing the other 110 apps/extensions that you froze/removed. Thank you so much for sharing the info. The way I use my phone is similar to how resurrection rom has it, very debloated with just essentials and google apps. I personally feel like every ROM should be debloated since it makes the system run more smoothly, faster, battery efficient, and more in my opinion.

I understand and can't wait for that slim rom release. But for the time being, I just wanted to know what apps or bloatware I can remove to make this ROM more smooth and battery efficient since it is currently my daily driver.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Alright [MENTION=4899502]redxslash[/MENTION] and others who are interested.

Here are screenshots of my selection of debloating. The app that I used to debloat is system app remover (pro version = no ads).

ill say again.... deleting these system apps has had NO negative impact (FOR ME).

I did a twrp backup before starting to debloat, and after some time of using my phone and having no negative side effects, I ran a twrp backup again.

I deleted the camera and related functions, because it was crashing almost from the beginning, and I downloaded a third party camera app instead.

You might end up being unsatisfied because some function you like to use wont work anymore, if you will just blindly copy my selection and also delete all of these.

I would advise running a twrp backup or backup your apps before you start deleting from this selection.

Alot of apps are in dutch language, but you can recognize them by the icons.

You have been warned:silly:;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Silvio Scarani:
I apologize if the maybe stupid question but i have a Z5P 6853 by only two days.

I am on 3.1.1 I already flashed just the v2.5F and nothing clearing the data in camera, camera common and video.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
Check if you have 2 camera folders. If there is, check a few comments back about that and you will find which one to remove and then reboot to recovery and wipe cache then flash v2.5f

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Flash .224 using flash tool, then flash your favourite kernel. After that flash this ROM(be sure to select your device, E6603 select E6653 and E6633 select E6683, if u are using those devices. If you are using E6653 or 83 it's self explanatory) be sure to wipe user data partition when the installation prompts you to. The first boot can take up to 30mins and your device will get very hot. Be patient and don't freak out

Can someone explain to me why technically the great devs that make great z5 premium custom ROM don't offer a tweak for choosing resolution like FHD, 2k, 4k on a per app basis? To enjoy some apps with great resolution and saving battery on others.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Pandemic:
4k on Z5p works only in album and movies and nothing else !! So why ask.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EMJI79:
Some people tweaked the kernel to make it possible to be always on 4k:

The problem is with the battery draining, that's why it would be great to choose it app by app.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
because that's only something that Sony can do. We do not know how they are doing this as sony is very cryptic about all these 'top secret' stuff. As for 2k, it will look horrible on a 4k display. 2560x1440 is not a 4:1 perfect scaling like 1080P to 4k is. it is more like 1.5 : 2 scaling. This will look horrible on displays and text will look super bad.

----

Nvm, I just found some problems with the stock firmware.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
You went from stock .253? or .305 firmware to RomX 3.2.1?

First thing is you need to come from .253 firmware because 305 will cause issues.

I believe then v3.0 has to be flashed.

Backup your data first btw :p

Choose to wipe userdata partition and start the install,

Hope I didnt forgot anything, if so someone should correct me :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CyNoob:
Thanks man. I think I flashed from 305 and that's probably the reason. Wiped all partitions and going back to 253 now, I will try to install this rom later XD
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Yeah thats probably it then.

But to be sure, check the OP and all the OP's posts that include install instructions.

I believe you just need to flash a .253 firmware with flashtool, then flash RomX v3.0 and choose wipe data partition in the installer.

Let it boot at this point, it can take a while sometimes... just be patient.

If it boots normal, you are good to go for flashing v.3.2.1 or later. if there is a later. version at the time you start the process :p

After clean fliashing v3.0 from then on with future versions you can dirty flash them (aslong as you didnt decide to go flashing newer firmware) :p

So just stay on .253 base firmware and have fun flashing RomX until we will get nougat :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CyNoob:
Waiiiit I still need to flash 3.0 before 3.2.1..... Aight
