I haven't updated jack squat; I've just been installing ROMS. It's been a while since I've done all this Android business :p

Great suggestion; turned off Smart Cleaner and no issues. Battery life is ever so slightly less than with other ROMs (again, a lot of variables), but I can easily get a full work day before needing to charge.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yep Smart Cleaner is a pain. Without the port it really plays hell...

I think I'll get it removed from settings and from ROM and disable it to cause further problems.

I'm not sure why batter isn't so good. I was getting 3 hours SOT to 50% battery. And that's without letting it settle.

Currently investigating scripts that should give better battery without performance loss. I don't think the trade for battery should be performance.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
What kind of battery life are people expecting / wanting?

Tell me in terms of screen on time, but also stand by times etc.

I'm trying to gauge what needs to be done to increase it.

Basically none of the mods should increase power consumption by anything drastic.

Yesterday I got 3 hours 40 mins screen on time and I'm still on 55% this morning.

I use Amplify, Greenify and auto brightness to save battery that's all.

Today testing Rytekk's battery tweak that sets three cores to conservative governor for better battery. It hasn't impacted performance yet and the cores don't rev up like they do on stock so I might add it with the ability to revert back to stock governor settings
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
3 hours 40 with 55% left sounds excellent to me,I'm on stock and battery is still settling and get 3 hours at 50% on average, don't have stamina mode as I'm on build 575
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Obviously it changes with signal range and stuff, but yeah I thought that's pretty good seeing as on stock it's only 3 hours for 50%.

And I never use Stamina on MM since it is mostly covered by doze and come on Sony why'd you turn off vibrate without an option to leave it on... :P

For V2.5 the build.prop is cleaned up and all the redundant tweaks are removed that either do nothing or actually messed things up (it varies from android version).

Idk I think its gonna be improved over time.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] eldoggor:
Wow, i don´t know how you can get 3 hours of screen and 50% left, i get 3 hours and my phone is dead. I dont use stamina and i like my screen at 65% bright.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Been off charge for 2 hours and this is my usage so far,I'm on stock rom at the moment build 575 as I'm in the build 591 I think it is hasn't been released here yet,haven't used wifi just my mobile data
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I guess it depends on your brightness level. I use auto brightness set to 30% so I can see the screen in all lights. Sometimes for photos I have to up it if it's sunny but that's all.

Lol I charged my phone this morning and I'm now on 97% and got 20 mins screen on time already hahaha

Would be insane if that carried on all day :p

Elite kernel v2

Is there any value add of flashing this kernel? If yes how to flash it?

Best
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
didnt see the title before on my phone :P

Totally up to you. Follow the install instructions as if you were flashing over stock kernel. I don't have UB so not sure.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Always welcome mate. I'm glad to have contributed something to the Z3 and it's always great to hear such positive feedback!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Not the Sony one. Only stock android one.

You can add it from either the addon app packages or move it to system from another ROM
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
What addon pack is it in please
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
90% sure it's in number 1
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Average screen time is around 5 hours on mobile data I'm guessing

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Can't u help me? :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kounops:
any news for UB ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
If you're in the mood for testing try this one:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634761990

Try and get me some logs through adb while it boots. That'd help a lot.

I can't figure out what the issue is. There's no difference from 4.1.5 other than minor changes to system that won't have effected boot.

And 4.1.5 was fjne
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kounops:
How can I get logs??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
https://github.com/M66B/cm-xtended/wiki/How-to-get-logs

Try using ADB

Alternatively you should be able to browse for the dmesg logs (the most useful if device bootloops) through the TWRP file manager {see link for location of dmesg}
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Hey buddy, do i need to add APN manually in latest version?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Only for D6633/53
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
For D6653 please :( make it auto
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
New version of patch uploaded. APN should now work.

If not then I have no way to fix it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Sorry if i annoying u, will try it asap
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It's not annoying it's a key feature and i recognise that!

I'm not sure if it will work unless you set up as a new phone, but try it anyway and find out.

If this hasn't worked then I'm all out of ideas on patching it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Hey dude, ur patch is work :) Thanks for ur Great ROM!

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

And how to make transparent like ur screenshot?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Awesome!

You need Xposed

Then in Xposed manager activate Blurred SystemUI

Then look for the app called blurred systemUI and toggle the settings on and it will blur
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Thanks!

And that "Clear all" bug or u make it for always sticky on screen?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
It's part of the XZ SystemUI so it's permanent

Support for Sony Z3 Docomo Japan S0-01G ???

Hiii dude..

I wanna use this rom for my new Phone Sony Z3 Docomo

Can i use this rom ?

My phone now still Locked Bootloader and haven't install twrp.

step for my phone is different ?

Sorry for bad English :D

Thanksss....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Don't. Quote. The. Whole. Original. Post.

Please edit your comment to delete it with the edit button.

Anyway

I'm not sure if the Docomo devices will work okay with D6603 firmware.

The main problems is that the device storage is different and if you have a 32gb device it may show as having only 16gb storage which is not fun.

Search around and be 100% sure before you flash.

Otherwise you should be okay and you will need to get root and recovery before you can flash this ROM.

Make sure you know how to use flashtool to revert any screw ups (even i still have them)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Yohanes_Adi:
Sorry dude :D

But is it works for Sony D6603 Z3 ?

If works, it must be work on Docomo :D

its for Locked or Unlocked bootloader ??

Thankss dude
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Masami1975:
I'm ready to flash this rom starting from frsh old Kitkat rooted... but perhaps I need Lollipop or MM bootloader before or not?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I don't know what you don't understand from the title of the ROM.... D6603 ROM. On the xperia Z3 XDA page.

Yes. It's for Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I recommend updating to the latest MM if you plan to backup and unlock the bootloader.

If you will keep it unlocked then you are fine to just flash the ROM as all essential firmware is in the zip
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Xperia S black:
Thank you great job. The rom is perfect. Battery life is great. Everything is good! Thanks for sharing your time. And thanks again for keeping alive our xperia Z's.

download link for unlocked bootloader is not working

btw can we use locked bootloader file on Unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I have no idea what the problem is with the UB one. It was almost identical to the 4.1.5 version (which I think I'll add back to the OP)

Yeah LB will work fine but you can only use Advanced Kernel as kernel or stock kernel of course.

Sorry about that it's been playing on my mind for a whike
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yecomixer:
[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION]

I am using version 5 of the ROM with 78kernel V3 of [MENTION=4102242]Gustavo RD78[/MENTION] and I very well at the moment
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Oh awesome bro

Was that the UB version?

And what was your flash order to make it boot?

If so I'll have to add it back to download and people can decide which version to use
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
Is kernel can make a big impact? What is for? Till now, i didn't know actually they for
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Custom kernels include changes to frequency or voltage of cpu for example. Or changes to kernel memory management etc

Overall it gives more flexibility for battery saving or performance so you don't have to just use the stock settings (stock giving the best balance I would say)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yecomixer:
Is a little long since I like to do the installation cleanly

After unlocking the Bootloader I installed the FTF Generic Global 291 with flashtool I let it reboot completely and then I installed a Recovery in fastboot mode, all the corresponding wipes and then I installed the V5 ROM and followed the Kernel and then the superSU v2.79 SR3 and reboot
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Snowblond:
Was it the UB version of this rom or the LB?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yecomixer:
The UB version
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Radnanum:
u're a kind dev :)

This KCal will compatible in ur ROM? I almost always use my device in the dark, so i need very low brightness

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/5-x-kcal-module-flashable-t3159869
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yes I use that awesome mod by VK while using Fragment.

Sony replaced my screen with crap red colour one (same issue as some of the Galaxy S8 have now)

So using kcal I got it almost to stock colour.

So yes I highly recommend it and also add a little extra saturation to the colour!

On LOS is built into the ROM (colour control)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] soonsi:
I read something about upgrading bootloader! is it needed before installing this rom? I have unlocked my bootloader long time ago since I was on KK and now I am on MM so I want to make sure before installing if there are additional steps to do
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
No bootloader upgrade is for like LineageOS etc (so that the recovery partition will be bootable)

You do not need to upgrade bootloader for stock based ROMs

Any solution for corrupt micro SD card formatting error I give you to format and follow the same problem
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Format it on PC to fat32 then place back in the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Horgar:
If you haven't got access to a PC you could try this - http://partition-toolkit-sd.en.aptoide.com/

I have the paid version from the Google app store (it's expensive but works great) but this seems to be a free version. Haven't tried this version but looks like you can format and partition your sd card with it on the fly without a PC
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] perobot:
Hi

I do not get the same error and I formatted it to fat32 and it follows the same problem corrupted card error also if I connect the cell to the pc with the microsd placed reboots the cell phone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Try a different card then
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] YndiHalda:
Charge goes off quickly, do you have a solution?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Show me a screenshot of that miscellaneous tab after you click on it.

Something is causing the phone to drain battery that the system hasn't been able to calculate into the stats

So you will see it says estimated battery usage and then actual power usage. Actual usage will be higher than estimated meaning something has caused a drain that isn't recognized by system

Try a full charge and then reboot.

Then if it continues look for malware or rogue apps on your phone
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] YndiHalda:
Final status
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] YndiHalda:
I think you've solved the problem, xposed is not installed

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GianAgassi:
Mirrorlink support

First of all thank you very much for your work, I am really appreciating your ROM. Quick, stable, lightweight :good:

I am facing just one issue: mirrorlink has been removed, and it is not bloatware, it is a functionality.

Could you please restore it in the ROM or explain how to add it? :confused:

I tried to install it via apk, but probably it is something that has to be integrated in the system (as a system app at least)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Go to download section

Grab the zips labelled as bloat (they are bloat to me as I have no use for those things)

Flash

Enjoy :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GianAgassi:
Yes, but I would prefer not to install all that bloat, just Mirrorlink.

Is it possible and how?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] soonsi:
Thank for the awesome rom bro, best rom I ever used until now.

I can conferm that version 5 for the unlocked bootloader is working perfectly. and here I am going to provide the steps I followed:

(before installing this rom I was on MM .291 rom with root and twrp recovery and my device is z3 dual d6633)

the steps are as follow:

1- factory reset and wipe internal storage data

2- flash fragment rom v5 for UB

3- flash D6633 patch

4- flash 78Kernel v3

5- flash DRM fix

6- if you use snapchat you must reboot to system before instaling root and xposed in order to sign in your snapchat account otherwise it won't sign in. after signing in, boot again to twrp and continue next steps.

7- flash systemless root

8- flash xposed

9- wipe cache and dilvek cache.

10- reboot

what i liked the most in this rom is that it charges very fast and and the battery lasts for more than full day with normal phone usage.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Download the bloat to your PC

Use 7zip/ winrar etc to open and delete all the app folders apart from mirror link

Copy to phone and flash.

Only mirror link will be installed then
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Thanks for sharing your set up and I hope it works for others too. Very detailed ?

I still don't understand what Snapchat thinks they're achieving by blocking sign in...

Glad it's working nicely for you!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Are the camera apps not working on v5 ub?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Hey mate

They're still in a separate flashable zip

All the camera apps work on the UB version just without the Sony enhancements like low light etc unless you flash the DRM patch
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Hey buddy, I can't install them, I get a lot of 'failed to mount system' then it says it's installing the zip and then when it reaches the end my phone automatically reboots and no camera apps!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's really strange

I'll have some free time today so I'll check it out

Something is stopping TWRP mounting system

Does anything else flash?

In TWRP if you go to the "mount" section just see if system will mount.

If it does then probably my script needs adjusting
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
System mounts manually via the mount section but still the same outcome, see attached photos

The zip did flash something 1st time around as it came up optimising 1 of 4

I'll try a complete clean flash this evening, I'll start from scratch as I came back from another ROM
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Thanks for the screens that's helpful.

Unfortunately it looks like you'll have to try wiping system and data then flash the ROM.

If that doesn't work you can either advanced wipe system and data and then go back to wipe and use the format data option. That's gonna wipe the internal storage though which is a major pain.

That's all I can see from online. Seems to happen when the partitions get funny.

Once I'm back with my laptop I'll check the camera zip and script incase something in my end is screwing up. It's an older zip so very possible
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Sounds like a plan, I'll keep you posted on how it goes ??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Cyboy:
i wont update to finalized.nothin spacial.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
same outcome even after a format!

EDIT: tried a few things and it seems to be after I've flashed 78 kernel v3.2 the system will not mount!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Seems to be the newest version causing problems. Google+ crash etc.

Try reverting to V3 via fastboot and see what happens
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
Already did :p :good:

The errors stop after flashing 78kernel v3 but the camera apps aren't there still :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] BusterSG:
is this better than eXistenZ Marshmallow | v5.6.5 ??

Boot to TWRP recovery.

how do i install TWRP?

cant seem to find xperia z3 as supported device in https://twrp.me/Devices/
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dominator916:
Are you rooted and installed dual recovery?

TWRP is included in the rom
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
As Dominator296 says:

ROM includes TWRP in the system partition.

If you have unlocked boot loader then custom kernels will include TWRP usually unless you use AOSP ROMs
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] BusterSG:
onboard tis rom. installed twrp locked BL then this rom.

boot up nicely

still not yet test though but no boot loop.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] BusterSG:
factory reset is broken.

Popup => Unfortunately, Settings has stopped

clean install on fresh locked BL 6653 (patched) from stock .575

twrp factory reset x2 times (before and after install rom)

only setup google account, then went to try factory reset (failed)

remove google account, try reset again (failed)

off debugging, try reset again (failed)

---------- Post added at 03:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

i twrp factory reset x2 times (before and after install rom)

format data too

reinstall rom - shld be ok now but i dont wan test factory reset.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
You really shouldn't need the stock factory reset.

I imagine it doesn't work due to having custom recovery installed.

Use TWRP and just wipe /data and internal memory for the same effect. You're an advanced user if you use these ROMs so take advantage of the better features!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] BusterSG:
Rom so far very responsive. Very slim rom even gmail also not preinstall. This is almost like slim rom! So far no fc. Batt wise cant comment coz my xperia z3 is 2yr old n prev not used by me.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MacSeoin:
[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] you fixed the camera apps zip?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
I thought it got fixed when you fixed your phone partitions.

I've been surprisingly busy ATM but I have time today to check it out.

If you go to Wolfbreaks RXSW ROM he has a camera app add-on as well. They might be older versions but at least then its installed to system and updates will come through play store for now

Edit: managed to download it on my crappy H connection. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with the zip.

You could unpack it and manually copy them into system.

I think the best thing to do is for me to update all the apks in the zip from play store versions or apk mirror

D6633 sim recognition

Hey and first off thanks for this snappy ROM!

I have just freshly installed V5 for LB on a D6633 and am having SIM troubles.

My procedure: (coming from 4.4) wipe data, dalvik, cache, install ROM, install V5 patch, install D6633 patch, wipe cache and dalvik, boot.

First boot: Only first SIM was detected. I let the ROM settle and installed missing apps. Then: restarted - now neither SIM is showing. If either is removed, phone restarts. Same for when they are entered. Still both SIMs appear as empty.

Edit: Reinstalled the D6633 patch, again SIM1 is recognised, SIM2 is not.

Edit2: After reboot with newly installed patch, SIM1 is recognised after ~5 mins only, not directly.

Edit3: When SIM2 is moved to slot SIM1, only that one will be recognised. Thus, the trouble must be with the software responsible for the second SIM slot, not the SIM itself.

Any ideas for a fix? Or if it is uncommon what do you need? A catlog?

Apart from that, I really love the work you have done on the navbar and the status bar, has a nice clean look to it!

Cheers

bootloop

Hi,

can someone pelase help me? im having a bootloop on the first blackscreen with a white sony and experia on it. i cant get to twrp.

totally noob here, please help, how do i get to twrp?

im coming from google style z3 on d6633 by rajeev. it was working fine for me.

my step was : from twrp, factory reset, install v5 UB , patch d6633 drm, then reboot, then got stuck in this bootloop.

please help. thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Try flashing a systemless SuperSU package or Magisk after the DRM patch then reboot.

Also try installing the ROM, flash a custom kernel and then boot.

Then you can make sure it boots. Then go back to TWRP, wipe data and install the DRM patch
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] andralatu:
Thanks for your quick response, really appreciate it

Can you give me links to how can i flash a bootloop phone? really sorry, totally noob here, i tried googling but no luck yet

i tried to connect via flashtool (androxyde), but it keeps disconnecting, since i cant get the phone to stay off, unless its out of battery (i think).

everytime i plug the charger to the phone, it goes straight to the white sony experia and then off and then back again.

and no access to twrp..

is there another way to flash?

please help..
