Contact the dev.

Permissions etc are all being set correctly so not sure at all why SU isn't able to use the setprop file.

Dev might know why and if I need to make a change I will from ROM side.

Hi, there is a chance To get this rom work for Xperia Z3 Dual? Thanks...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GenesMan:
Don't forget the "..." menu delay bug, if you could figure out that already.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yes. Once I get time I will make a patch. It will take time though as some parts of the Dual ROM will have to be modded with Fragment features.

Priority us V4.1 OTA for stability and then I can start making a patch which will mean the patch includes the most stable features
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Don't worry it's not forgotten.

Just need the time to figure out what I changed in the framework and redo it because it is heavily modded and I can't recall straight up what was changed :P
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Hope updates lands soon....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Very busy with essays these days. Two deadlines soon.

In between I am working on the update don't worry
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Take yur time and give tha best essay... Hoping for a good rom!:highfive::good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Thinking of unlocking BL... Any good kernel to use n worried bout DRM!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
There are only benefits to UB now lol :p

Use the official method

Then Advanced Kernel will work with Fragment and you can then use Systemless SU and the DRM patch from here to get DRM features like camera working properly.

Can also use SU hide and use Android Pay with root

Also means if an AOSP 7.x rom comes out you can use it. I hear they almost have the camera working now.

Unfortunately Elite Kernel still doesn't work. I have contacted the dev and instead of offering any help he blew me off as some kind of noob with "is your bootloader unlocked? I think no"

And that was all he said despite me explaining the exact problem of not booting etc.

Big shame because it's a decent kernel just dev can't offer support....

So as long as you backup the TA partition you can restore it back to locked Bootloader with all DRM features again just like stock if you decide you don't need UB
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Tha steps are just too much.... Thinking of unlocking maybe i can get good battery life. Yhu know unlocking will reset tha fone.

A. Backup TA

1. Unlock BL

2. Flash Advanced stock kernel

3. Flash Systemless root

4. Boot to recovery and flash rom right?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Pretty much yeah

After you flash Advanced kernel do a factory reset and then flash the DRM patch by erthx (I think) and you will have all camera and picture quality
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
but after installing DRM fix.... if i install tha rom wont it reset tha phone if i do factory reset?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's kind of the point.

Unlocking bootloader wipes the whole phone anyway. Literally all internal memory etc is wiped. So you need to backup everything to PC before unlock.

Then when you install DRM fix it doesn't matter so much.

If you don't want to lose data best not to unlock the bootloader :p
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I really dnt wish to unlock but battery life aint so good. So thought if i unlock BL den might get better battery!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Rajeev:
There is nothing related to battery life and UB. Its depends on a good custom kernel.

A kernel that supports Under Clock and Over Clock and init.d support and all. Will help u to save battery. Use any cpu controler with a good custom kernel..

Take ta backup

Take Internal memory backup

Unlock bootloader

Reboot

Copy rom and drm fix to phone

Enter recovery

Flash rom

Switch off

Fastboot kernel

Enter recovery again

Wipe data factory reset

Flash drm fix

Reboot

And get profit...

The only good kernel is now available for Z3 is elitte kernel. Tested it with my Z3 291 stock rom and everything works. Did not tested battery life. Because i am always charging my Z3 with several sources...

If u first flash kernel then flash rom means the custom kernel will replaced by stock kernel from rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Elite Kernel doesnt required DRM fix.... I dnt wanna use stock cos too much bloatware and requires modding alot like superuser and co.. But if i unlock BL den reboot, i wont have recovery anymore cos tha phone is gonna be reset during unlocking bootloader. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Beetle84:
Thats why you fastboot elite kernel after unlocking as it has recovery included.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Good point.... Didnt thought of dat!!!!

Buh Elite has issues with dis rom...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Beetle84:
GustavoRD78's advanced stock kernel works.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I know brov..... ROM dev already mentioned dat!

Thanks....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Beetle84:
Hey mate, GustavoRD78 has released a new custom kernel and it works fine with fragment so far. Its in the z3 android dev section.

Edit: just seen your comment on the thread, disregard.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jess182:
Fix Stamina

Ok after a while time dear [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] i found a fix for backgroud data with stamina on, i dont know if is necesary to do with all apps, but i tested with whatsapp, the only thing that i did, just i added it to battery optimization, and after unmark.......... with that stamina mode("battery time preferred") works correct,notifications arrive only when i open whatsapp

Finally with z3 System UI without signal gap that you provided me (thanks for that) i have the same problem........ i believe this problem is related with percentage, because with xperia X systemui we have percentage, and with z3 stock not.....then the space that exists is by percentage that doesnt exist in z3 stock.

Thanks for all and sorry the inconvenience....... and waiting the OTA :D:D:D

Regards
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068:
I am on RXSW.

is it possible to flash over and only wiping cache/dalvik?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Clean flash is always better
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068:
Better yes, but a lot of work.

So it´s better to stay on RXSW... ;-(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Backup system, data and boot (the defaults) in TWRP so a full backup.

Then try a dirty flash... Chances are it will have FC issues etc etc but you might get lucky

At least you will get to try the ROM for a bit and decide if you want to do a clean install
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068:
Hmm...

Use xposed with a lot modules.

Customized my Quicksettings, Statusbar, nova launcher with gestures and a lot more.

So, not an easy decision.

I´am on work now. Can´t download from the offered hosters ;-(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
Then stay on RXSW, good rom too, a bit outdated though.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:

i dnt know whats wrong...... unlock BL den flash 78Kernel v1 kernel & Fragment rom, when it boot up no sign of tha kernel in kernel version so i reflashed tha kernel (via fastboot & recovery) but when tha phone boots up, it keep restarting!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GenesMan:
Flashed OTA and wiped Cache and Dalvik but the "..." Animation bug is still there.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay best way to do it.

Fastboot the kernel and boot straight to recovery

Install Fragment and ota

Boot with the stock kernel

Go to SuperSU and use the full unroot option from settings

If it doesn't work just close and open SU and start again and it will work second time

Boot to recovery with the normal method of volume down

Flash the custom kernel

(Clean wipe if you want / not booting)

Reboot and you should be good to go

Custom kernels can be meh on first boot, but advanced and 78kernel should work 100%

Then you can root with systemless SU which I recommend
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Which app is it still there? Is your animations set to x1 speed in developer options?

I checked on XDA Labs and the lag was 100% gone
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GenesMan:
Pretty much every one, except those that uses some different kind of Animation (slide from top to bottom, instead of a combination of that and from right to left) which os not affected
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay I'll see what others say about it.

If it's not gone then I will look more into fixing it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jess182:
For me lag dissapeared
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Is the battery life fixed now
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Thank God you got rid of the stamina mode symbol. Only previous fix was from xposed downloads and it just rinsed my battery so am well pleased its gone.

And thanks again for your work. Hope you're essays got done, on time, with top marks!

Cheers Dobsgw
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GenesMan:
Weird. Lag, as I said, still persists. Should I flash OTA again ? ?

I checked in Developer Options and all animation is set to 1x
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] comax70:
varios what?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jess182:
Is a developer option,is only a calculation f you don't want that it appears, in build.prop delete "debug" from "userdebug"
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
error still persist brov....flashed stock & no issues but cant use stock!

please help.... my phone not been useful for hours now!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Rajeev:
What error bro?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
phone will boot up and hang at lockscreen den keeps rebooting endlessly......... experienced with Pure X using 78Kernel v1 but working great with stock!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Rajeev:
Using PureX v6 with 78 kernel now. Just now only flashed.. No problem here bro...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
I don't have menu lag, all is fine.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
dnt know whats wrong den.... gimme a detailed steps please.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Beetle84:
Strange, just flash the ROM, let it settle, check unknown sources in security settings, then flashing the kernel through recovery works fine here, no special steps necessary.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Rajeev:
No special steps bro.

I have flashed rom.(PureX v6)

Reboot. And settled all things

Switch off and fastboot kernel

Reboot and done..

Thats it..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
what of drm fix or not needed?

using fragment + 78kernel?

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

let me try it brov...:good::highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Beetle84:
Yeah flash the kernel, then supersu, then drm fix as in OP of 78kernel, then reboot, working fine here for a couple of days now
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Double check the bootloader is actually unlocked. Tiny chance something went wrong so just boot with the stock kernel and go to the service menu (Google the code for the dialer to open it) and check the device status. It should say BL unlocked / status rooted

My suggestion now is to use Flashtool and flash a full stock ftf.

Then it will be all clean. Then use fastboot to install the kernel from PC (instructions available from Sony and the kernel XDA page)

This will give you recovery on stock

Then flash Fragment. Boot. Remove superSU.

Then flash the kernel. Boot.

Flash the DRM restore. Wipe data. Boot.

Then flash SuperSU systemless

Boot.

Should work
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] trainpunk:
i wonder if the same steps would work with elite kernel
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I tried everything I could possibly think of...

Ironically one of the boot.img he used to make EliteKernel was from me through one of his testers :/

Then wouldn't offer any assistance troubleshooting.

I think there's something wrong with the kernel rather than the ROM
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
still same thing but works fine with advanced stock kernel & elite kernel¬..

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

still bootlooping on homescreen & when i check service menu, it shows unknown for root & no options for BL Unlocked!!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It should only show unknown for unlocked if you installed the DRM patch.

Sounds fine to me.

Do the kernels work fine with stock ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
yeah works fine with stock.... but didnt try advanced stock kernel with Fragment!

trying to download Flashtool v0.9.22.3 cos i installed v0.9.21.0 doesnt flash .291 successfully, it stucked at tha end for hours but flashed .570 successfully so thinking of updating my flashtool & retry.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] francesco_mnz:
3 dots lag is gone!!

Love u Dev:*
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
flashed stock

flashed 78kernel

flashed rom.. boot up

flashed kernel (fastboot & recovery)

booting.... bootlooping!!!

wooooooopsss,,,,,, only advanced stocked kernel works!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] davil333:
D6633 patch please :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
When time absolutely!

I haven't forgotten don't worry
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] davil333:
Thank you man :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Android Wear app updated and now it doesn't work with this ROM, displays the following message;

This phone has been flashed with an unsupported configuration for companion. You must re-flash it as either signed/user or unsigned/userdebug.

Please look into this, thanks in advance ;) :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Open build.prop scroll down a bit until you see ro.build.type=userdebug

Change this to ro.build.type=user

Reboot and it will now work

(Anyone that doesn't know where it is it is /System/build.prop use a root browser to navigate to and open it)

Next update I will just change the build.prop back to user

Was to accommodate a feature that isn't in the ROM anymore

Android wear has only been updated to detect this recently... Google is on an anti-root rampage :/
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Thanks for this, I'm not by a computer ATM and don't like search on here tbh
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] RoXxToR:
No need to search anywhere. Thats the way to fix it.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ojessie:
Well not deliberately...

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

Well have a misunderstanding here... Step by step

I came from latest slim

-installed your rom and xposed according to your guidelines

- booted all perfect

- rebooted to recovery and installed a sound mod

- booted all perfect

- restored all my apps with titanium

- all perfect

- tried to boot into recovery again

- failed no way

- fastboot flashed adv kernel to get recovery back

- flashed your rom again

Same problem but this time I didn't restored my apps with titanium
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
You just have to leave busybox alone. Wolfbreaks rec root method, which all stock roms use for root, means you break recovery if you update busybox. It's been said many times in many forums.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ojessie:
Thanks but as I said I didn't update busybox...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Not 100% sure of the issue here. Sounds like the first problem occurred with something restored by TB (the only difference from the last reboot to recovery was this).

Then the second issue was the order you flashed. First need to flash my rom then flash advanced kernel.

Otherwise the stock kernel from my rom will overwrite advanced kernel and youre back to the problem.

Im sorry I can't offer more support. My BL is staying locked so I can't test these things.

Ask on the advanced kernel thread for the best way to flash on stock custom ROMs and you might get a better answer.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Bloodlvst:
This is done in the settings menu. Using stock settings for Z3 it will be enabled. Xperia X Settings has it disabled, but I believe it's just a boolean change if I'm not mistaken.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
OT, but up to date: do you guys know if there is a unofficial patch for quadrooter vulnerability, some xposed module maybe? Or we have to wait for Sony to release a patch?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay should be fine then :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
pfffft looks like StageFirght all over again. Just a big scare to get attention and downloads. Go to Settings, Google, Security, and turn on scan regularly. This will scan apps for malware that you install.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
Would it be possible to implement extended power menu, like in eXistenZ rom? Look neat, and no additional xposed modules needed :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I'll see

Advanced Power Menu for xposed is working fine for me for the time being.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] churchrickshaw:
I like the approach you're taking with this!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
V2 is up

So V2 is uploading now. ETA - 30 mins :)

It's up^^^
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ItsDon:
Sweet! Is this OK to dirty flash over V1?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah of course. Wipe dalvik/chache for less chance of errors, but you'll probably be okay anyway. Obviously if anything goes wrong go and wipe them if you didn't.

Been rock solid all day for me
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Flashed over v1. Boots fine, all seems well. Notice no stock email app though. Not a problem, I just extracted it from a nandroid backup. But a sign of more debloat. Good!

Thanks [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION]. I think you're my successor to pandemic!

It's good stuff!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
The email app is part of the bloat now lol. I will add it back in later versions I didn't think anyone used it :P

It's in the V2 bloat addon for anyone that needs it. Just download and delete all the other folders of apps you don't want with an archive tool and flash it.

Well he's gone off to the Z5 now so they have him now. MWA v1 for Z5 is in the works already
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Probably just me, I'm old school. But great ROM, hope you're around for a while, I look forward to lots more updates. Big thanks Dobsgw, I appreciate what you do.

And bye bye [MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION], hope you're enjoying your z5. You're missed here on z3 forums
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
V2 running just fine so far :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Noticed stock album app gone funny. Is reading my music files and showing them as video files. How to get it just pointed at DCIM folder on external sd and showing only my photos? Any ideas anyone?

Or if not a recommended alternative album app and widget?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Sounds weird. Didn't happen to me...

There's a thread with the latest version of Album I'll find it. Try updating it to that and it might solve it.

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-sony-album-6-1-0-14-ui-updated-22-t2378816

Album also has an option in settings to fix errors.

You can also try going to settings - fragment modules - media scanner and try different tricks to solve it. A media scan might be good anyway
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Put phone on charge last night, this morning it was switched off and battery at 1%.

Also, settings crashes if I go into storage and click sd card?

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's very strange behaviour. Maybe a power surge and the phone stopped charging to protect itself and switched off? Try charging again with a different charger. A new Sony one will be really cheap online if you need it.

Try using settings to clear cache for Settings itself and Media Storage

If that doesn't help then wipe data for Media Storage and then reboot. Then go to Settings and use MediaReScan from Fragment Modules to do a full scan to get all media back.

Then reboot.

See if crash fixed.

Otherwise I have to suggest the thing we all hate doing: wipe data :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Done that mate. I have 2 chargers so I'll try the other tonight.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Tracked down the issue to play store misbehaving. Tried the usual and it didn't help so I just removed it and installed a fresh copy. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay good it was something simple :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
still no solution to bootloop for using EliteKernel & 78Kernel......... rom only works with advanced stock kernel, unhappy!!!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Custom stock based kernels are running on some ROMs and not others. The devs are uncooperative and I've seen a user on 78 page is running it on V4.0 Fragment

Next time i need to clean install I am going to try 78

Sony isn't a good choice if you want good custom support.

You can use a stock rom with 78 or elite and then add the custom features you want.

I do this for free in my free time. Its my first ROM.

I have tried to make them compatible and there is no reason they wouldn't work with Fragment.

If i make another ROM in the future I will try and make sure it supports kernels.

At this rate though as soon as AOSP 7.x releases I am moving to N and finalising Fragment.

Next time i will make sure i get a device with better support because Sony hasnt been great for that.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
guess i ll be moving too with yhu since i have already unlocked BL....... really wish yhu can stick around Sony cos dey gat good GUI & great customizations & update but dey might be low on custom rom support....... lot of bloatwares to remove & mods to do in other to enjoy stock... guess i ll stick around & maybe try Advanced Stock Kernel later & see, just dat it doesnt have really good features..... thanks for yur efforts brov!:good::highfive::laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] oSandmaNo:
Hi, can someone please upload libaudcal.so from vendor folder and mixer_paths.xml from etc folder??? This ROM doesn't have soundmods and I need the stock versions of those files, that's why I'm asking here. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
ROM working fine with Advanced Stock kernel..... I gat error when i tried to login to settings/language & inputs/Xperia Keyboard/Backup!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Make sure it is updated in Play Store

Try wiping data and trying again.

If still not working uninstall with Titanium backup / root explorer from system and just install from Play
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Tried buh no luck.....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay so getting to the bottom of the UB Custom Kernels issue

It was due to recroot being installed and changing some system stuff which the kernel was also teying to do. When it happened twice the kernel panics and bootloops hence the issue we all had.

So I will release a UB version of Fragment that will not include recroot.

If you know how then you can remove recroot from the fragment.zip and from the install script. If you dont know then just wait or you'll f your device.

There are some hiccups though. When first doing setup xperia keyboard wasnt working so I couldn't log in to play without install google keyboard (so I might have to add that to the ROM).

The install steps are different so I will list what I did
