ok it seems your device was become factory reset

so you can not back your settting

but if you have any backup from last versions of duality rom ( not only dr98 ) you can install that backup then flash dr99

is there a way to backup app data from twrp as well? i wish to keep my precious convos with my friend who has passed away... want to leave it in a state as a momento

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

thank you for your help. unfortunately, I was too careless and haven't backed up anything. thank you once again for your help
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Toferay:
Should be, did some Google-fu and found that the mmssms.db should be in

data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/database

Not sure how to go about reading it though. Give it the day, maybe you can figure out how to recover your install?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] yingwang:
thanks mate for the help.

I've decided to format my phone completely after copying any file i can find onto a computer.

I have to setup my phone right away so, I've got no way out. thanks once again for the information
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Toferay:
Good luck! NB: That folder is in the base/root folder of the device, ie not the ones you see when you browse in a non-root file explorer.

Or just wipe system in TWRP before reflashing. Would leave your data/media untouched and still re write the SIM part OK.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] yingwang:
Thank you, that's what I've done, unfortunately, my convos were all over the place from Line, WeChat, Whatsapp, SMS, Kakao Talk, Telegram etc.

I just finished resetting up my phone. I have the app data files recopied onto the phone but the current apps aren't registering it.

I'll just have to hold onto the files and slowly seek a way out to import chat history from residuals of previous phone's app data. Thank you once again for your help

Hi! Thank u for the Duality ROM. Love the 0 battery drain over 10 hours. Also a decent performance increase. Tho I never get 8 hours SOT with clash royal, snap, insta and Facebook..

I have XZ F8331 and aften the latest upgrade V3.0 I got alot ofte random reboots.

I understand that latest kernel V14 is included in the ROM, or does I need to flash the kernel boot image?

I also flashed the xnet camera upgrade. Does anybody else got random reboots arter the latest upgrade??

Hi, I use the same combination but without xnet camera. I flashed clean (DR99) , wiped everything but the SD card. I runs very well, no reboots at all. My battery drain is around 7 percents per night. The rest is really perfect and smooth like butter.... :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] koekoek91:
When you are playing games on your phone, the SOT time you get can easily be cut in half VS if you would not be gaming.

Facebook drains alot too.

Are you using the regular Facebook app?

Might wanna try Facebook lite from the Playstore instead.

From the first post:

-Supports X Performance?(Needs evaluation)

And I suppouse it means Sony Xperia X Performance support, which needs evaluation.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CatoBass:
Hi guys! Couple qustions.

1. When I used the link for the latest duality rom update V3.0, I start downloading DR99.zip.

But when installing in TWRP, Aroma, it says "Duality Rom V2.0!!" Whats up with that??

2. After installing the zip file do I also need to flash the kernel boot image, or is that included when I install the zip file??
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] koekoek91:
1. Ignore. The Aroma installer script just hasn't been updated in a while, that's all.

2. Kernel is included in the zip.

Note: There's a separate kernel thread for the kernel that is included in this rom too.

You can find it here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/development/kernel-duality-kernel-t3590311

Anyone got a litle lag? Snapchat. Games. Etc. Spescially om Clash Royal the game hang for a litle second everytime the opponent places a card. That gives me a hint when his playing his card so No big del, But strange it lag like that. Or Else the over all performance is good. Loading and multitasking is fast.

My battery consumtion is normal, right?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dark Smile:
Flashed this morning. Thanks for the great work!

Will report usage stats after a week.

Root was gone after the first reboot. After reflashing only the latest magisk with TWRP, everything is persistent now.

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] treff89:
Any chance that undervolting could be added to your ROM?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] snake218:
i just posted this in xnext thread:

think i found a major bug:

xperia xz duality rom: Xnext disable the TOF sensor (so no laser range detection), tried erasing both folders of camera, reflashed mod (beta 0.5) the new options appears in camera ui, but the sensor is still not working. you can check it in service test menu or using a camera to see if the laser is activated when you focus to take a pic (is not). sorry for my english.

Did more testing, it seems is the rom (duality) the one who disable TOF not this mod.

Reinstalled latest stock N, then duality rom, and TOF was dissable without installing xnext.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] _LLJY:
Nope, my TOF sensor works fine

I know this because the camera attempts to focus at the window instead of outside it when I'm taking a picture and covering the sensor has an effect on focus
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FakeMobile:
Can you make the kernel support POC or rootkernel ?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] snake218:
thanks for answering. Can you test your device in service menu, and see if the TOF sensor reading is different from 0? i tried this way, or/and if you see the laser through a camera like another phone for example, you can see it flashing constantly while doing this test, or while you focus to take a picture.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] _LLJY:
I think there's a slight problem with it, it gave me a get(Tof) sensor error while doing it but the camera app didn't have that issue
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] snake218:
I see, but you tried to see the laser sensor through a camera when pressing the focus button when you are going to take a picture? It has to lit once quickly. If not, then is not working. Normal autofocus works fine, is the laser tof focusing that isn't.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Kali_307:
Unfortunately I have some reboots while I'm using an app.

Most times it happens wenn I'm scrolling through a list or time bar.

I had it three times after clean installation of this ROM last week.

It happened while I was scrolling through music on SoundCloud and as I was searching a scene in a video using the time bar to scroll. ( Telekom Sport App)

Anybody having the same issues and has a solution for this?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CatoBass:
I had a lot of reboots with this.

Flashed EAS directly and now I got none reboots. Same battery consumtion and performance.

I have installed the duality room on my F8332 and I am unable to install the Xposed framework systemlessly, error says problem parsing the package, what do I do? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance....
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dark Smile:
After a longer testing period I experience a freeze and reboot under the following conditions:

WhatsApp media

When viewing status messages from contacts and skipping a few pictures and then skipping a video, it mostly freezes the system and ends in a reboot.

Facebook Videos

After viewing a video longer than 1:30 min (tested it) without fullscreen (during scrolling through the newsfeed), I exit the facebook app over the Home button and then right afterwards double-tap the button to the right to access open apps (to quick switch back to last open app). This freezes and reboots the system also.

I haven't got a chance to test with attached PC to view logcat output during this scenarios, maybe I can manage to test that this week.

Everything else works fine as expected :) Battery life with normal usage and a lot of push notifications: 32 hours.

Battery seems to be the best of the roms I have tried (need more time to fully compare), I guess it's comes at cost on some little less performance.
