[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Okay it obviously hasn't worked

I'll remove it in the next update

Sorry about thay
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
If you unlock on its own then the quality degrades

But if you flash the DRM patch or use a kernel with the DRM patch applied then the quality is the same as when locked. The phone thinks it is still locked basically

Then if you restore the DRM keys from a backup you will have a fully relocked phone and all DRM functions restored
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Have you unlocked your bootloader before
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I'm not bothered about warranty anymore so I just unlocked it ages ago.

So far happy with it and mostly did it for Suhide so I can beat safety net

Custom kernels are good too and I'm hoping for Nougat eventually
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] melvinsiminiano:
Hi just want to say thank you for developing this ROM for us z3 users and I just have a one question, can I still use the stock Sony navigation bar BCS I really like the way it looks thanks PS. Sir are you planning to do a d6653 patch?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
And your camera quality is fine?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Im sure a patch is possible. As far as I know they're almost identical devices... Ill have to check

I can upload a fully stock Nav Bar for you soon

It will be the stock size and will not change colour

Glad you are enjoying the ROM
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yep it's as normal with the DRM patch

TBH on MM you lose less quality anyway as Sony tweaked some things to be less cruel to UB users
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] eldoggor:
I am a fan of your rom and always use it, may i ask what kernel do you recommend? Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I use advanced kernel purely because it works with Suhide and i am able to pass safety net tests with it

If you want a solid kernel with undervolt then go for 78kernel v2

If you want a bunch of stuff and don't need 100% stability 24/7 then try out Elite Kernel (not saying it's not stable just saying once you mess with settings you might get problems)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MrBarkan:
Also, I can't get my smartband to work anymore. What could it be?

I use it mostly for specific notifications, but it's something I really miss... Can I roll back to 4.1?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Since 4.2?

That's very strange as there weren't any major changes in the update

Yes just flash V4.0 and then V4.1 then reboot

No cache wipes unless you still have problems
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] KOCOBO:
Great ROM, I have some questions. How to change color of the notification bar and how to change grid to normal (3x3)? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] melvinsiminiano:
Yes, the only difference about them is the band/s but overall they're pretty much the same. Thank you so much sir for considering my request really appreciate your effort :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] vBRoioV:
Should i flash V4.1 OTA before V4.2 OTA after flashing V4 or its okay to flash V4.2 OTA directly after V4?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Just fash them in order

So V4 then 4.1 then 4.2

It's just so I don't have to merge OTAs and end up uploading huge files every time
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Gixchi:
i am curious to know if you [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] have any plans of releasing a ROM on nougat .
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
No. This rom will be my only contribution to the Z3.

If a stable enough AOSP / CM Nougat comes out I will finalise this ROM and move onto it myself.

This summer I plan to get a new device from another company anyway. Someone who offers better support.

Sony has disappointed me on the development support saying they are dev friendly but making root and custom ROMs harder and harder at each point.

So I will never be buying another Sony device unless they make a change to their attitude.

The stock rom is great and the device has really kept up with other more recent devices, but to drop support so early is just lazy and not what I paid for when buying the device.

My younger sister has my old Galaxy S3 and just 2 days ago I updated it to a stable Nougat custom rom for her. It's very old and yet has some of the best support on XDA.

So in terms of N we are really hoping for nailyk to build a stable AOSP / CM which I feel he is close to doing. The devs are working very hard.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Does adaptable storage work on this
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
What can I do? I have no idea... Wakelock detector can't detect this "App" or what ever...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
No it's buggy on Sony ROMs and needs to be fully integrated from source build

However there is an Xposed module to do it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's because it's set as a debug device through build.prop

All that is is the difference between what android thinks is being used of the battery and then what is actually being used (when the actual usage is higher than what android thinks is being used you see this "others/miscellaneous" tab in battery stats.

Try charging it up again and see what happens. Something is making the battery discharge faster than android is calculating

I think I found the wakelock it's Bluetooth. Why ever. I have uninstalled Android wear. But I use Bluetooth for the App "UP".
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
Go to settings/wifi/localization/3 dot menu/scanning and check if Bluetooth scanning is on.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
I have this turned off. But that is not the Problem. Maybe the UP App. Android wear is uninstalled.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Which add-on file (bloatware) has Sony backup and restore
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Would love to update to 4.2 but waiting for serajr to update his home mod for new Xperia home. It's a must have for me. Fingers crossed he'll do it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I would never use a Home version that doesn't have a Serajr module!

Sorry I should have been specific with the version number as one came out which he updated the module for (so v1.1.7 works with this ROM)

But then Sony updated it again just a few days ago.

So the home in v4.2 supports Serajrs home mod! :)

[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] I'm trying to add back small apps I've copied across the small apps from bloat #1 to system/priv-app but they are not showing up!! Any ideas what else I need or should I move to system/app?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] raphael_martin:
Where is the Screen Mirror/Miracast and Dualshock 4 support?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Make sure permissions are set to 644 (rw-r-r)

Make sure owner and group are set to root

Then reboot

Basically all the folders marked as small apps need to be there and it should work

You can also go through the .Zip and remove everything that's not the small apps then flash it

Then you just get small apps
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Flash add-on bloatware V2 from bottom of downloads section
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] raphael_martin:
Thanks!!!!!! I would like to know how i install MyXperia Protection, the files that i need to keep in .zip!

And with you a have a list which any Folder does install it will help. ( yes its impossible) or do a list the most interresitng ones, to keep the rom the same funcionally as the Stock Rom, but lightear.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Hello,

i made an reset of my phone and flash the ROM Version for unlocked Bootloaders. But my PC tell me this:

whats wrong with the boot.img?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zolaisugly:
Thanks for the reply, I deleted the files that I moved manually then tried your suggestion of removing all files apart from small apps in bloat #1 and flashed, then reboot, but still not showing.

I've checked manually and files are in system/priv-app with correct rw-r-r (0644) permissions.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Yhu need to flash a custom kernel with fastboot den flash rom in TWRP!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It may be because it's not fully unpacked

I just extracted it from the full ftf but it is in the correct format.

It's just the stock Sony kernel so if you have UB you might as well be flashing a custom kernel or at least Advanced Kernel which is just stock kernel with a couple of extras
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I think it's possible that small apps won't work with the XZ SystemUI

I hadn't thought of that!

I think there's the Z3 UI in the download section so grab that and flash it and small apps should show up :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
The whole point of this ROM is to be as light as possible.

If you want the stock features then I have given all the missing apps in the Addon packages

Download them both and use an archive tool like 7zip to go through and delete the folders of apps you don't want

Then flash it and you'll get all the system apps that you wanted
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Whalesplaho is right

You should only be flashing the ROM from TWRP

If you do that then the kernel will be installed with the ROM

Then when the ROM and all its firmware has installed you can fastboot your desired kernel
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
okay I try it again
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:

[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION], what device are you thinking of? After Z3? I'm thinking about some Huawei flagship device, maybe from Honor series, or Mate, or P... They are cheap and quite powerful, I don't know what support Huawei provides though... Or Samsung Galaxy S7, it shoud be much cheaper next year, when S8 will show.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
I'm thinking of Samsung s7 edge or a Huawei myself
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Great, thanks for letting me know. Tried flashing 4.2 but kept getting apps fc. Did full data wipe and all is great, got latest serajr home working and on 4.2. It was time anyway, I think you just need to do a full data wipe every so often to sort things out. Pain in the arse though it is.

But thanks Dobsgw, ultra stable, smooth and simple (in a good way) as always.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I'm really not sure. I'm going to hold out till a good batch of phones comes out. Gonna try and make sure i can afford the very latest phone like OP4 or maybe if I'm lucky the next in the Pixel line up

Then it will last a couple years and hopefully have some good support

I think Samsung is good if you don't mind losing warranty to Knox and flashing a custom ROM and Honor seems up and coming too
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah sometimes you just have to do it.

After flashing and restoring a few backups I've found the phone gets more and more unstable to the point where a clean install is necessary. It's just the way of things

Glad it's working smoothly for you now though and glad you are still happy :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Hello, anyone using systemless root and Rootswitch with this ROM? When I use it, all system apps force closing.

I write an logcat over adb when the apps crashing. Can anyone look at this log file? https://cloud.land-laeufer.de/index.php/s/DcRrkgRMSkazZiB

That's a mystery for me. :p
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Did you also install Suhide?

Or are you using magisk?

For me I can only seem to get Suhide and root switch to work with Advanced Kernel and it doesn't seem to work on any clean install / with other kernels.

We had this problem before and couldn't understand.

Gservices would just constantly crash when root was toggled off...

I think Google found a way to make unmounting the root partition mess up Google play services and that causes all the apps to crash.

If that's the case they are using very dirty methods to stop Suhide :/

So my advice is to try advanced kernel and see if it works
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Using an advanced kernel and it works with suhide, damn these kernel is near perfect.

Maybe I try it with magisk and phh superuser
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yeah actually let me know if that works with the other kernels

Not sure why only advanced kernel works with Suhide
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Okay.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :No-Frost::
Is this rom compatible with D6653??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MasterTom99:
Style Cover Widget does not work

I just moved to this very good ROM. Everything works fine beside one thing: I installed the "style cover" using NFC. When I close the cover the display does not change to the style cover widget. Instead of this there is an error message like "style cover widget has stopped...".

Any ideas what could be the reason?

Has anyone the style cover working fine?

Thomas
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
When I tried the rom I had really bad battery drain shame really :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Gixchi:
I own D6653 , as someone asked earlier, i am curious to know if this ROM is compatible with my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Vildanoff:
Use version 2.2 there is a fixed style cover window

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-xperia-x-systemui-lockscreen-t3380743
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It is not yet compatible with D6653 as the baseband is different but that's a very simple patch to make.

I am busy with Xmas and university work ATM but once I get some time I can put together a simple patch for the D6653
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :No-Frost::
Thanks for the update mate :)

Sorry for not having readed before, but I haven't had the time yet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
Hi

1.Does Drm keys still working?(ie; bionz, trackid, Xreality...)

2.I remember the reasons why i did downgrade to the stock lp(now being yet):

A.sdcard (and also USB otg) permissions level of MM socks.

B.no standard phone call recording - as clear as on LP(even via my favorite apps like ACR)

C.Some exact Xposed modules i'm used to have em on ,was not dedicated to work on MM then (may2016)

So does these apply your's too?

3.Any bugs known?

Edit: Sorry for some noob questions too:

4.is it pre-rooted ?

5.does it support for icon packs?(i'd prefer X icons instead of your CM-like ones.sorry
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Pandemic:
Not yet bye bye Z3 forum bro [MENTION=4932363]Horgar[/MENTION]

MWA V6 will still come as i promised but you people need to wait a little more, i dont let me true MW users not hang on a beta ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
Have tried and not worked, photos showing blank but with video play symbol, but am currently syncing my music from drive after replacing my sd card so suspect it's to do with that. Certainly not your rom.

No worries, will find an alternative album app and work on it. Ta for responding anyway.

And how to donate? You deserve a bit of dosh from us all.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] phreax9802:
Hi [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] good work. Would it be possible to upload V2 patch over V1, mediafire is slow in my country. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
The only reason I didn't make a patch is I can't patch in the stability stuff added. V2.5 will be a patch and from now on I'll try and use OTAs where possible.

In this case I had to skip up to V2.

Maybe I'll put one together today but I can't guarantee it will give the same results.

Edit: I have made an OTA for those who absolutely cannot download the whole V2. You don't get the debloat or the zipaligned system apps as uploading them as an OTA basically makes it a full ROM anyway :P

Everything else should be there.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Ah cool I hope you fix it.

Don't worry about that. I don't need anything from you guys yet. I'm just happy people are using the ROM.

Maybe later down the line I'll add a donation address but for now just enjoy the ROM :)

A very kind offer though which means a lot in itself!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
What exactly is this?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
The Z3 system UI so you get the lock screen, but I modded it to have the merged signal and wifi and round home button on the nav-bar. So just a couple things that make the SystemUI a part of Fragment :)

More clear?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] wonsky21:
Yeah, sure :)

Clear data/ cache in settings - apps - adaway

If no good try clearing cache/ dalvik in TWRP if you didn't already.

You can always uninstall with TB or Root Explorer and install from their website
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Adaway is working just fine here. No issues to report with the rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TrumpCard:
One issue I'm having that I haven't really noticed with other Roms is that the phone gets hot during normal operation. I'm not sure what I can do in terms of helping you pin down what could be causing this issue. I know there are a lot of variables that could be causing this phenomenon.

Are there any mods that any of you know of to fix this? Thanks for the hard work! This is a great ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Perhaps the culprit is Smart Cleaner.

It works fine but considering it is for Xperia X it could cause issues. Go to Settings - storage and memory and turn it off.

If it still overheats after this and a reboot then I'm not sure. It could be something you installed or an app...

Are you using the updated adreno drivers? I hear they cause more problems than they solve :p
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] golden7:
Adaway works, but webserver in Adaway does not stay on. I can enable it, but doesn't stay enabled. This happened once awhile ago with another ROM, don't recall reason / solution.

Otherwise this ROM works very well. Additions are Gustavo's modified stock kernel (v291), Dontbelieve Soundmod v20, DRM Fix v3, and Cyberian camera 3.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
1 yes all working as ROM is for unlocked boot loader. As long as you did not unlock your BL then it all works

2 a I think it's still the same. Never had issues with SD cards

2 b you can flash it. There is a port or an Xposed module to add it

2 c if they have been updated then they will work and almost all are updated to MM now

3 not that I know of

4 yes of course if you do not download the UB version. Just get the normal version from top of download section

5 the default icon pack is the Xperia ones as it is the stock Xperia home (the ones in my screen are an icon pack)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dani2191:
Since I just gave up on Sony updating our Z3s to Nougat I was considering flashing this ROM.

I've read that I need a patch for my D6653?

I was wondering if someone could provide me the patch for my device.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Gixchi:
I have D6653, I did not do any patch. Working great so far.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
D6653 Patch uploaded. Sorry for the wait I've been really busy.

Since it seems to be working without the patch all the patch contains are the modem files and build.prop so the model number should be correct in Settings now and the base-band should be better optimized for the D6653 antenna etc.

Otherwise all is the same and it should be okay to just go ahead and flash it without wiping data if you have already installed the ROM. Wipe dalvik and cache to be super safe, but I don't believe it is necessary
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dani2191:
Thanks!

I'm going to install the rom later today.

Just to be sure, the right flashing order would be:

4.0>4.1 OTA>4.2 OTA>Patch?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's right :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ajaychaudhary07:
Thanks for excellent Debloated ROM

Thanks for the perfect ROM. It's fast and working well.

But under storage and memory option in settings, I'm unable to find memory(RAM) usage. Anyway rest is working perfectly on my xperia z3 dual.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Glad to hear another user enjoying my work :)

The RAM usage must have been tied into the Smart Cleaner menu that was removed from XZ Settings application. I remember on lollipop it was much easier to access.

I can look into adding some kind of RAM monitor to settings again but no promises for this.

For now an app such as ccleaner from Play will show the RAM usage and allow you to clear it out etc.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ajaychaudhary07:
Hmm Got It. Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] AdiSimpson:
Ram Usage is under Developer Settings -> Active Services

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] jester020407:
Need help.. After installing this Rom, i cannot boot to recovery anyomore.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Did you install the first version or the version titled "Unlocked Bootloader"?

The unlocked bootloader version does not contain a recovery as this is usually contained in the custom kernels used by UB users.

If you have UB then fastboot a kernel with recovery included and just boot to recovery.

If you flashed the normal version 4 (the first link on the page) then you will have recovery and you have to boot to it by pressing the down volume key:

Power device off / reboot

Wait for Sony logo to appear and then wait for the phone to vibrate and a green light appears

Press the down volume key when the light turns green and you will enter recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Coldstream:
Does the EliteKernel v3 work with this rom?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yes just make sure you download the Unlocked Bootloader version from downloads section

That one doesn't have the recroot files so won't mess up the custom kernel from booting
