I think 48 hours is to short time to validate root experience, but that is my experience.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] dillalade:
Personally I've been a Xperia user for several years since z3c. I've not pandered to root for the passed 2 years..... Until now.

I just couldn't deal with the lacklustre speaker levels and the annoyance of ads on YouTube.

I'm currently having a great user experience with the following:

* Stock 7.1.1 rooted

* Debloated https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x-perf...oem-debloat-script-v1-0-t3527866/post70296797

* Artisan governor https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/dev...an-interactive-governor-t3580142/post71615353

* Brevent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.brevent

* BetterBatteryStats https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats

* Google Play Services Doze Mod https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-enable-doze-google-play-services-t3608783/post72344542

* Viper4Android (+ mixer path mods for stereo output) https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/themes/sound-mod-v1-0-xz-stereo-sony-settings-t3572329/post71409398

* Magisk13.2 for root https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/post68966662

* YouTube Adfree with background playback

You can see I've not done a huge amount, I chose stock debloated rather than any of the custom stock options. Less variables for something to go wrong in my experience. However all that I've deployed from the list above provide a profound effect on performance and user experience.

So with my minimal tweaks in place I can happily say the phone is a vast improvement, more refined and just as I'd like it.

No complaints other then the learning curve involved with magisk, and the odd temperamental boot loops that come with magisk. Otherwise Stella

Going forward I would like to install:

a) host files within Magisk to block ads system wide.

b) Sony native call recording - https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/port-stock-call-recording-mm-v1-0-0-t3430847/post68001048

c) Sony native screen recorder - https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x-perf...tock-screen-record-v1-0-t3527846/post70296234 or https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/themes/sony-missing-apps-xperia-xz-rooted-t3482858/post69187923

(b & c currently they do not work for me at least, serajr has mentioned the need for deodexed services.jar.)

Once I have a,b & c in place, I will then be entirely satisfied with my setup.

************** EDIT **************

I have since got option a) from above Incorporated successfully.

Also have successfully migrated from androplusv27 to a duality kernel thanks to [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION]

(Note to self: Can flash .IMG files from TWRP i.e kernel boot.img - therefore no need for adb fastboot via laptop method. Secondly you lose root when flashing kernel hence need to reflash magisk or the likes.) - Again thanks to [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] for the learning curve :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 6476447:
In my opinion your setup is awesome

I have one question , how do I flash stick and root it

I am now on duality ROM and j keep getting hot reboots
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] dillalade:
Yeh from my reading over the 2 options for customised stock on XZ - both unfortunately seem to have drawbacks.

I was unwilling to face all the hiccups people have mentioned just for a few extra bells and whistles.

Less is most definitely more in this case I believe.

Read the first post in this thread to gain the know how of how to flash using flashtool https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/how-to/how-to-unlock-bl-kernel-twrp-root-t3541648/post70639175

In essence:

1 use flashtool to flash the FTF of your choice (grabbing the FTF from xperifirm)

2 flash androplus kernel and TWRP - links are again in the post I link above.

3 gain root with either flashing magisk or su in TWRP

4 you now have a stock rooted firmware/installation

5 customise at your peril (debloat etc etc.)

And here is my post in that same thread I link above with some additional comprehension that might help you https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/how-to/how-to-unlock-bl-kernel-twrp-root-t3541648/post72870474

I have also updated my initial post above this one, with all of the links to help you on your way.

All of your questions will be answered in those respective threads.

Good luck
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] fastbooking:
hi, maybe u should try aosp to massive battery life :p lol (in dev for gpu drivers and stuff),

i would say that we have no more hot reboots with lastest kernel (16/07/2017) and dr95

Stability restored and smoothness is here, i'll recommand to give it a shot now :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] dillalade:
Tbh I'm having probably the best experience I've ever had on a Sony (for several years) with my current stock customised experience.

But I appreciate your insight. I've read through that thread, sounds interesting but for now I'm immensely satisfied
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] ratoune:
Nearly have the same setup, and I concur, such an improvement VS stock, especially on battery life ..

Personally I could not do without magisk module to have Play Service follow Doze, you should give it a try, I've seen zero negative side effects yet but I've tottaly removed playservice from my top drains ( and I use location high accuracy etc...). That + artisan governor are life changer for the device

Method Issues

Bro, I have faced a few problems since I have started

i) When I type in adb devices it shows my phone but unauthorized

so I have to allow it as you said but only after a reboot and doing the process again will it show authorized

ii) after entering adb reboot bootloader it doesnt show bootloader locked but straight up fastboot mode

iii) then when i enter fastboot oem unlock it shows asks me if I want to unlock, I press on volume up. Then it again asks me some other thing and I hold the volume up down and power together. Next I reboot into my phone. All data erased. I setup it again.

Now, does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? When I reboot it shows something on the middle right- unlocked..

So does this mean I continue and install twrp now? or what?
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] akash.mahadeshwar:
Cool!
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] akash.mahadeshwar:
1 - It doen't matter if its authorized or not..

2 - yes! thats correct it directly takes you to fastboot mode it use to show bootloader locked for old Moto phones).I 'll make changes in the thread.

Yes! your bootloader is unlocked successfully..

if you see something like 'Your devices is unlocked and cant be trusted' on the left hand side during the moto logo.

TWRP Recovery

Thanks for your help Y_Y

Hey bro, I am not about to install the recovery.

Before this may I ask why we need to flash boot_XT1663_356.img ?

Also, isn't this command wrong? fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img

It should be fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img

Without the boot twice ryt?

Also, will the data be erased after installing TWRP recovery or not? If not, will it be erased after installing the SuperSU?
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] akash.mahadeshwar:
1 - It is the Image file which is specifically build for S356 (build number) hence it is necessary to flash it before flashing TWRP. If you don't flash boot image then you might face boot loop issues and hard brick your phone.

2 - The correct command is 'fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img' . the first boot is to recognize cmd that we are flashing a boot image and the second boot is the name of image file.

3 - Flashing TWRP and Super SU won't erase your data.
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] manandua01:
I installed TWRP unlocked bootloader copied SuperSU- and was abt to root. With volume up and down I came to Factory Mode

It said Factory Mode

I pressed on power button- now it shows something in Japenese or Chinese what should I DO? I am scared as hell bro

ITS DOING SOME WEIRD STUFF NOW- GPS, SIM etc I have no clue .-.

UPDATE: Rebooting phone- Back to my home screen now. Heres what happened

(uploading video will post link here soon)
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] akash.mahadeshwar:
As i have mentioned in my thread that you need to select recovery mode and not factory mode

Please select recovery mode and you should b able to see twrp

Note - to select recovery mode press volum up n down button till it shows 'recovery mode ' in the andrioid logo screen
[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] manandua01:
Bro, I opened Recovery Mode, but now its asking for a password. It shows temp on the top. You from India, ryt? Could you give me your number? or maybe a skype id?

EDIT: Here's what was on my cmd after flashing the recovery http://prntscr.com/ft3t1l

[Moto M Guides, News, & Discussion] BOPOH'Ok:
---===<<<Alternative to get ROOT>>>===---

I'll add an alternative to get ROOT on Moto M.​

1 - We go on a visit.

2 - Select the Magisk Manager - Root Administrator application rights.

3 - Fully comply with the instructions outlined there, but if it's easier, then:

*****3.1 - Completely remove the previous ROOT by means of the application-managers of the root rights. If SuperSU, then in the application there is a complete removal of the root. But I will still recommend installing on a clean system, i.e. after a complete firmware of the device, removing the Bootloader lock and installing TWRP.

*****3.2 - Download and install the latest version (always up-to-date and updated) of Magisk Manager.

*****3.3 - Start the Magisk Manager and, if asked to install MagiskSU, answer in the affirmative.

****3.4 - Reboot to TWRP and select the archive installation from the MagiskManager folder.

*****3.5 - Reboot to the system.

Well, that's it. ROOT received, you can install the modules and generally, enjoy a full ... No ... More than a full ROOT.

PS: The most important thing, do not forget to execute item 3.1, without it, full-time work of Magisk Manager and MagiskSU will not be.

All thanks for Magisk Manager and MagiskSU to Mr. topjohnwu

Finally:

Removal:

1 - Remove the Magisk Manager application from the device.

2 - Boot into TWRP and flash the archive to completely remove MagiskSU. Always the current version can be taken here.

Always yours, BOPOH'Ok ...​

I checked the flash script,

because this kernel support SuperSU by default,

magisk not compatible with it.

but I do not want to other flash script change my ramdisk especially fstab,

so I consider do not support magisk, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mrjoy:
but all of other kernels supported by both SuperSu & Magisk. Even you can take help from them.

Else you want to make it only with SuperSu then its ok. But thanx for your response. Good day.

They support both SuperSu & Magisk because they do not integrated anything in their kernel, you can flash SuperSu & Magisk manually,

Hey guys,

The tablet wouldn't recognise my pin. It happened once before but a simple reboot fixed it. This time nothing I tried worked (switched accounts, restart, wiping cache partition). So after a lot of consideration I decided to go to Recovery and do a factory reset. After it finished, it automatically restarted and since then it's in a bootloop.

All the instructions I've read about factory reset say you need to manually reboot after it's finished whereas mine rebooted by itself. Do you think that's why it's stuck now? What can I do?

Dears,

Sorry for creating new thread but I cannot find answer anywhere.

I have bought HTC TyTN II and it is not localized standard version: English.

I use English keyboard everyday but I need Russian as well. I don't like crappy additional utilities and software, I want to install keyboard layout like in Windows XP, standard windows version.

Question is:

See attachment. You can see English keyboard layout with au button marked in red. Is it possible to have Russian letters by pressing this button instead of symbols I don't use?!

Thank you!

I have a similar problem. I can create a Polish letter like "ł" typing "l", "au-button" and "space". Unfortunatelly this is the only Polish letter I can type this way. I also need special symbols with a,e,o,c,s,n but typing any of this letter "au-button" and "space" create an accent or some Spanish symbol. Can this be changed?
