Sony broke the APN files in the last update. Seems to be an issue with all ROMs that haven't been patched.

The D6633 APN seems to be slightly different from the D6603 one which is why I used that one.

My D6603 APN config is patched by Rajeev to work so by all means try replacing the one from the D6633 patch with the original D6603 one and see if it works automatically.

"Ok Google" not working

Hi!

Thanks Dobsgw for this ROM. I tried a few and liked your's most, because it is fast, smooth, stable and less / not overheating. :angel:

However I have one big problem. :crying:

"ok google" is not working. And I use it a lot.

Xperia Z3, D6603. I flashed it two more times, V4.0 and V4.2, without anythings else installed (except latest google apps and services).

I can do the "Ok Google" detection, but still afterwards the spoken command "ok google" seems not to do anything to the system (while my other 4 androids start beeping and wonder why there ist no further command :silly: )

I tried it with other ROMs like PureX, MK-XM2 v4.5.0 and VoLTE ROM and there "ok google" is working fine.

Please help,

Bruno
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I'm sure you did install it but do you have the Google App installed from play? I removed it from system to debloat and you need it for OK Google.

Is it possibly because Google Assistant has been added to MM devices?

Hopefully someone else will see this and can tell me if OK Google is working for them.

I'll try now too

Update: so yeah mine doesn't even work unless I tell it to listen. No idea what causes that I haven't played with any of the microphone values etc to cause this.

Very frustrating. I don't personally use Google voice or assistant but if I can get to the bottom of it between busy times I'll let you know / upload a fix.

It's possible that installing the Google app as a system app then updating it from play fixes it.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] BrunoAndroid:
Okay. Thanks for the commitment.

How do I install the Google app as a system app?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] story123tw:
Thanks for this ROM, and I have some problem

I flash Fragment ROM V4 -> V4.2 OTA -> D6653 Patch

but I still see the stamina notification while the stamina mode on

Another problem is that when I use Setting->Backup&reset -> Factory data reset

It just show"Unfortunately, Setting has stopped."

I'm not sure is there the same problem for anyone

Looking for help. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
You shouldn't be doing a factory reset from settings on a custom ROM... Use TWRP....

Removal of stamina notification was a highly requested feature.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
In the download section there are two zips with all the removed apps called bloatware one and two.

If you download I think number one and use a computer with 7zip or winrar to open it (not unpack) look inside and delete all the apps apart from the Google app you can flash it and Google app will be system app again
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] story123tw:
So can't I remove the stamina notification from this rom?

I saw this could be done in the changelog of v4.1 OTA

Or should I flash the v4.1 OTA then v4.2?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I don't really understand.

The ROM doesn't have the stamina mode notification by default. I removed it.

Yeah flash OTAs in order. V4 then V4.1 then 4.2
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] story123tw:
I just directly flash from 4.0 to 4.2

and miss the 4.1 OTA

Now it's all right without the stamina mode notification

Thanks for help!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Awesome

Yeah I think usually OTAs work like that. I just made them separately
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MrBarkan:
First of all thanks for all the info.

Google Assistant, apparently, depends on one having an American account. Mine is Brazilian... guess I'll just have to wait... =(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
No problem.

That's unfortunate. But they do have to roll it out slowly or they wouldn't be able to cope with the server loads and incoming user reports.

They know it works now so won't be too long

Flash addon package v1 and 2 from downloads
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Sorry, i'm not good for something like this, so i ask u for the way to install.

I want to install the lastest fragment rom, that the step please correct me if i wrong:

1.Factory Reset without system

2.Flash Fragment 4.0 and then 4.2 OTA or i need to install from 4.1 OTA > 4.2 OTA?

3.Flash D6653 patch, is that correct?

4.Factory Reset

5.Waiting, and done

Is that the step correct? my device is D6653 ROM Existenz MM
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Factory reset (wipe data, dalvik and cache)

Flash ROM

Flash 4.1 and then 4.2 OTA

Flash patch

Reboot
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Edited

Hi, i complete flash my device but, i cant use mobile data already download internet setting
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Manually add APN settings for your carrier/provider.

Then reboot

I had to use the Sony apn.conf for the patch which is half broken so you have to manually add
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Please fix it :( cant you?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Rajeev patched it for D6603.

You can try adding this one attached here to this location:

System/etc

Overwrite the old one and set permissions to 644 (see screen shot) then reboot.

See if it's fixed.

It might not work as it is the D6603 one.

If not then go online. Google "APN settings for x (your provider)"

Then add those and you will have internet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
It's no problem for me to try that patch from Rajeev, but will it risk to try? cuz mine is D6653
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It won't make anything worse.

Just try it :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
nothing happened :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Add manually then.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nemoftw:
Can you add the autostart option in next release sir? :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Sorry, I am not clear on what you mean by autostart?

Do you mean to control the apps that start when the phone boots?

I'm not 100% sure that can be added to stock ROM but I can check if it is possible.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
Screen mirroring sucks on your rom
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Good for you.

This comment is useless for everyone.

You haven't told me what's wrong with screen mirroring.

You haven't provided any information on whether you actually installed the two bloat ware add-on's provided in the download section. Those should restore all the missing functionality as they contain every system app that Sony includes.

My suggestion despite the attitude.... Try downloading the add-on packages and if you want clean them up with winrar or 7zip so you will only flash the screen mirror apps.

Then flash them.

If you still aren't happy there are plenty of stock based and up coming N ROMs for you to use.

Alternatively build your own ROM! Get stuck in there. Give something to the community. Make it your own how you like it!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Will it fix in next update?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Not likely.

Next update will just be unifying the updates into one ROM labelled as V5 Final.

I will also address a few issues such as the WiFi icon etc that people have requested.

The Patches won't change. I don't really have time for development ATM so it will be some time.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] story123tw:
Hi, I have some problem with using the Email app in this rom.

While I want to attach file in the mail, and as I select the file, it show the notification that the Email app has stopped

Is there the same problem any have method to fix it?

Or there just somthing unknown wrong on my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It's not your phone.

It's the Sony email app AFAIK

I included it as it was a popular request

Try one like bluemail from the play store

Or see if there's an update for the Sony one
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Yeah completely stock rom also has issue with the email app.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] story123tw:
OK, I got it.

Now I just flash the SemcEmail to an old version

12.0.A.0.9, and the Email attachment can be work.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dr_hadota:
Plz could u in next version when I apply any theme it didn't change context menu until phone restart is there any way to correct this plz
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah just restart SystemUI instead of reboot
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dr_hadota:
Plz how to restart only system ui here
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
There's a preinstalled app called Blurred SystemUI

If you open it and tap the top 3 dots you will get the option to restart systemUI
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] hpatrik:
Settings opens and works verry slow

Nice rom amyways
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Never noticed that myself but my animations were usually turned off.

I would say it's just because it's the XZ settings port (so made for a much more powerful phone) and it's also modded to add the extra menus etc

I hope all the other apps work fine for you!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] hpatrik:
I was dirty flashing and installed the stock ui,now i made a factory reset and works perfectly. Thanks for your great works!:laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
Sorry , but i noticed signal lack on mirroring since come to Fragment Rom.

I already flashed all blaotware add-ons.

Its happens either when one passes front of the TV or even i hold the device covered by an hand(.i'm not using any protecting covers/bumpers, etc. at home). Then TV's on image starts glitching and a pupup appears on the TV ;"DISPLAY UNSTABLE" and so. The only way to have an issue-free mirroring is to place the phone just beside the TV.

I'm using no router and connecting both directly.

It was ok formerly being on Stock 5.1.1 ...232 same devices(both tv and phone).

Even tried cleaning cashe/ dalvic cache ,reseting network settings and even factory reset(on both phone and tv)

We have also an Xperia XA Stock 6.0.1 mirroring like a charm.

Tv is just 4 or 5 meters away from the phone while mirroring.

My TV's model: LG LF651-V

My phone: Xperia D6633

Unfortunately i dont know how to build a rom as i'm a noobie

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
You tried manually inputting the apn settings?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
Nope!

But whats the relation betwin?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Yeah, sorry mate. There should be no relation. Just misread your post.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I can't think of a reason for your issue.

I admit it is probably ROM related since you've not had a problem on other ROMs. But i don't think there's anything I can do to solve it.

None of the modifications to stock involve anything to do with connectivity.

All the firmware is stock from baseband to kernel.

So i don't think i can fix it from my end.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
have you ever handled any modifications to wifi/wlan system on your rom to reduce the energy consumption? Or even replacing its related drivers with another ones? I have experienced no wifi issue (yet till now), but i think my wifi-direct suffering range lack.

Any Build.prop tweak solution for this? Everybody can help(please).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
At the bottom of build.prop are some Fragment Mods. You can delete any of them that reference WiFi and see if it helps

Otherwise there's no modifications that will effect this
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
btw i decided to flashed it back to the LP.

I ll owe you much more if you be kind enough to read and respond this.You know some stupid dis-advantages spacially usb-otg restriction on MM gets my goat. Google's calling it Security(for user) ? Huh..Scureing whom from and what for?

Tonight i wanted to do some ordinary file handlings such as un-extract some zip files , sdcard analyse and file size request... via the well-known powerful ES file manager, but found these proccess imposible on mm. For example my mid-range z3 needs to some new space sometimes .i occasionally connect my usb-storages to my phone/tablet to move some files. i have right to know about my portable disks space and files properties w/o having to get hooked to a pc.

Do you all emphasize their new policies on how an user have right to access his/her files on a usb-drive via MM+ android-powered device?

Tell me plese. This why i got to hate google .i wish a day that we meet some mighty alternatives chooses to stop google from its stupid kingdom on our devices.

I'd also appreciate your works/efforts helping ppl to have easy computing life.

Thanks again and excuse my very bad english. Its 2:55am writing to you.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I didn't notice any issues with USB OTG on MM when i was using it even on my ROM here. But i was only transfering files from one device to another.

I assume the restrictions are there to stop an attacker from taking your phone and transfering / executing malware from OTG.

Obviously this is unlikely but there really are some stupid people who might allow this to happen....

Google is protecting the majority users. Not power users like us. We have to find our own solution ;)

But yes i agree it's more of a pain than it helps anyone.

I use MiXplorer as file manager so you could give that a go?

ES explorer has become a bit crap and full of ads etc
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
you sure its so named? Not found any app MiXplorer named.

Please give me link.

i want to install the rom on my d6633, do i flash 4.0 and then 4.1 then 4.2 then patch or 4.0 then 4.2 then patch ? and should i wait for V5 ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
In order.

4 then 4.1 then 4.2

V5 could be..... A long time away.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] OmarElAdawy007:
well is v5 just combining 4 and 4.1 and 4.2 or are you going to fix or add stuff too ?

i want the original sony xperia software buttons (nav-bar) how do i get them ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah there's nothing else really to be added at this point.

So V5 will mostly just be merging updates into one zip just so it's easier to download.

Also will fix any outstanding issues but there aren't many.

If you check the download section you will find 48dpi nav bar

Download and flash
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
hi dude, i come again, how about APN in ur final version?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
As i only have D6603 that's not something I can resolve unfortunately. I will have a go when i can to fix it because it will be easy to add a small change to the patch files resolving it but only if it's possible.

I'm sharing what i can with you guys while it's available :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Masami1975:
Thank you Dob... but can I flash your rom startin from stock kitkat rooted??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] eldoggor:
Yes, you can.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Eldoggor is correct. Perfectly fine to flash from KitKat as i include all components from ftf.

The only thing not included is bootloader as this can only be upgraded by flashing an ftf with flashtool
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Masami1975:
so is better flashing from lollipop or MM rooted?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Absolute best would be to flash stock .291 ftf with flashtool. Then flash ROM.

But it doesn't really matter unless you're gonna be messing around with AOSP ROMs and recoveries etc
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] memphis77:
Thanks for all your effort, work and stress you put in this rom! I really enjoy it every day.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Bloodlvst:
What's the APN issue the guy you quoted is talking about?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
For D6603 the apns-conf.xml is patched so that the automatic APN downloader works.

For the 33 and 53 variants it doesn't work even using the stock version (i believe Sony broke it in .291 and didn't bother fixing it).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kearlsaint:
Thank you for this ROM :D

Battery life is great and overall performance is amazing, especially having no bloatware and being close to stock :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Snowblond:
Hi, is there going to be a v5 for unlocked bootloaders? :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah let me whip it up quickly.

The UB version is only without all the RecRoot and pre-root features as custom kernels already provide this

Edit: Done, but cant upload right now as AFH has disabled uploads while they upgrade servers. Will upload when they're finished :)

Done and link posted.

Reboot

Then if it all works wipe data and then flash SuperSU and DRM patch.

(Wipe data is to activate DRM)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kounops:
i take a bootloop with that
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay I'll make sure i got the Zip right when i made the UB version when i get home
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kounops:
ok thanks alot
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
When does it boot loop?

If it bootloops when you only install V5 then something is wrong with the zip.

Is your phone D6603?

How are you installing it? Full process and order.

Can you check MD5 Sum is the same as shown on Android File Host when downloading incase it got corrupted?

I can't see anything wrong from my end so I'll have to isolate what caused the bootloop for you
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Snowblond:
I also have a bootloop with v5 for unlocked bootloader. :/ I've got a D6603. Stuck at sony logo and reboot.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kounops:
I enter twrp, I do hard reset, I flash the Rom, I flash the kernel, I flash systemles super user, drm restore then wipe case an dalvic.i also try with version 4.1.5 Rom and I have the same result

Strange. 4.1.5 at least was working flawlessly for me with V3

Okay I'm removing V5 UB for now as it doesn't seem to work. This time I'm not sure why though as all RecRoot features were removed.

Endless headache of custom kernel support haha

What did you removed? Also the wp_mod.ko and byeselinux.ko from /system/lib/modules ?

Sorry for the edit, do you mind to re-upload the UB version maybe so i can take a look on it?

Also Downloading right now your LB version in hope i can patch

Your PDesire
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Of course I can re-upload.

I think it was an issue with the updater script rather than the system as essentially my system doesn't contain mods beyond the modded APKs etc.

All features such as wpMod and byeselinux are added during flashing by scripts. Essentially RecRoot just gets flash after the system partition.

So yeah all that's removed is the recroot parts of the zip and updater script. So a clean system is flashed with modem, kernel etc. Then it is down the user to flash a custom kernel for TWRP etc

Thanks for taking a look though. All was working fine before V5 so I'm almost certain the issue was the script

Link to latest UB V5: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634761990

Possibly working now, but no promise.

Many thanks for your hard work and responsiveness to users.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] does this rom have the backup and restore option?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Cyberian is already included.

Waiting on V4 which I know has some awesome new features coming. I have tried the Predictive Auto Focus they ported from Xperia X and damn they did a good job.

It's gonna be a good update when it's ready ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Smart cleaner reboots my phone when it's on charge.

To try to resolve I tried a fresh install of mm and then installed the rom and nothing else and it still reboots when on charge so I'm pretty sure it's nothing I add or change. Not an issue as it's not a feature i require, so I've never bothered investigating further.

Keep up the good work buddy :)

Webserver in adaway doesn't stay on for me either. Using it without though and doesn't seem to make any difference. Ads still blocked.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I've never used webserver and 100% of my ads are blocked.

You should only need to open it and press apply adblock and it will modify the hosts file to block incoming traffic from advertising servers.

I only added Adaway as an optional thing especially for those who are looking for a root adblocker.

It clearly needs to be installed as a user app so I will have to remove it in the next version unless I find a solution. It is possible I have missed a .so or something simple :)

Edit: yep I missed the lib files which make webserver run :p

You can install adaway over the system app like a normal app and it will work or wait for V2.5.

A little OT: what is RXS Moonbreakers? I thought it is some kind of cooperation developers and contributors to make a one good rom. Instead it seems that anyone works on his/hers own rom/project :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
We all work together as a team to give assistance or share mods etc.

It means you can get the best out of your work rather than struggling.

So its just a team of developers who help each other and stuff. Some have collaborated on ROMs and others of us make our own, but most of the mods included come from other RXS devs.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
OK, got it. Thanks for clarifying :)
