Thank you so Muchh. İ restore my stock backup and send you system.img (I will do this quickly ?)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MrPilot:
Since I have bravia Tv and sony smartwatch 3, I have installed stock ROM, twrp, skymelon 9 and magisk for systemless root.

I have changed dpi to and enabled multi window. I have also installed apps2sd and moved apps to SD card and unstalled some PS-bloat. I will return to your ROM when I'm not using sony specific smart extensions as you have gone more to a bare bone, google pixel bild.

btw,

I found screen mirror at com.sonymobile.tvout.wifidisplay (version 6.01 TS 2) for the M4 Aqua

Also there's an app that starts called wfd service (com.qualcomm.wfd.service (version 2.0))

hope that helps!

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
Concept-ify is now fully stable and universal! One zip for all models! We have implemented an update system, similar to ota but through twrp. This means, once you are on the latest version (stable_v1), all future updates will be quicker to install, and will preserve all user data and system apps; No more need to restore stock and start from scratch! Please, write some reviews of Concept-ify if you enjoy it, we've worked very hard to get it to this stage :)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
did you flash it on latest twrp? :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] oPavanelli:
in model 2363 dual brazil I had to remove the command from the file to work

Concept-ify.zip \ META-INF \ com \ google \ android \ updater-script

command removed:

ifelse ((file_getprop (/system/build.prop, ro.build.id)! = (("26.3.A.1.33") || ("26.3.B.1.33"))),

abort ("Error: Firmware version out of date!"));

It worked perfectly, thank you!

camera isn't working with the new version
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
You have to flash it with the latest twrp atleast v3.2.1.0 if you flash with an older version it with kick out systemui force close message ,,this happened to me also, don't worry you can fix it easily ,what to do to fix it is reflash the stock marshmallow firmware ftf via FlashTool then flash latest twrp (atleast v3.2.1.0) and lastly install the concept-ify zip via twrp then finally wipe the cache and dalvik and reboot to system.

Once phone start's you will be rooted via supersu with load's of storage to spare.

In my opinion the first thing to do once you are up and running is to install busybox for the obvious reason's.

Good luck..

So no need to manually resize partitions anymore?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
it is too risky, if you have problem with storage use link2sd to manage apps.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ch3mn3y:
Thanks. I used it with older devices (PLAY, Desire Z), but remember that there is a problem with Adoptable Storage and Link2SD...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
yeah, but if you use link2sd properly you don't even need adoptable storage. :)

Reinstall Play Store

Hello, i have used this rom for some time now and its great. However i had an "accident" recently: while replacing the Play Store on the home screen i pressed "uninstall" instead of "delete" and now it's gone. :( How do i get it back? Is there an easier way than to uninstall play store services, clear cache and flash gapps nano? :confused:

Edit: cache insted of cash
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
download it from here, and install it as any other app. :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
One question just for curiosity sake,would it now work to use the re-partition guide to get more space on the data partition to install more apps? I am thinking of trying this myself once my Z3 Compact comes from repair so I will report when I try something but unfortunately don't expect it to be soon.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
ye, you can do that but u must be very careful, 1 bad step is enough to f*ck your phone up. :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Yeah yeah I know been there done that,and even if I f*ck it up doesn't really matter because in my country you can sell it for more than 20 dollars working lol.

almost no problems during this week, the only one i found was that when i'm uploading a picture to instagram,facebook etc, the image appears zoomed without being able to fix it, perhaps not a big problem.

E2333

Hi, thanks for ur effort.

I installed ur Rom on my E2333 cell phone. But while working with TWRP which u uploaded here, it freezed on first page. So i had to use another Twrp file with size of 20 mb. It worked well.

Somehow weird that after i installed ur ROM, at first time multiple window was working but all of a sudden

I noticed that it did not work anymore.

Would u plz help me with activate this ability againe.

The last Q is, what about OTG?

With the best wishes.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
Check for this line in build.prop persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true

if you can't find it, add it. :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
Hi, OTG is not as simple to add to stock as we'd like. If we can find a way, then of course we will add it, but currently it only works in TWRP. I believe it is a kernel thing - we are currently working on a new kernel specifically for Concept-ify, so perhaps it will be added with that :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] moharamir:
Screen mirroring

Hi, thanks for every thing.

When I tap on the screen mirroring icon, nothing is happening. I had already been using this on official Rom and skymelon 9 too. But now it is inactive after installing conceptify ROM. Is it my own E2333 cell phone problem? Or is it deliberately omitted in ur ROM?

Thanks in advance for ur kindly reply
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
I'm not sure what you mean by mirroring. Do you meant the cast button in quick settings? If so, this appears to work fine for me (E2303), but I will look into it for you if you can provide more details :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] moharamir:
screen mirroring on sony xperia m4 aqua dual

my cell phone is Sony xperia m4 aqua dual E2333 and in official rom both of the cast button and the screen mirroring button in quick setting were active. but in your rom cast is active and unfortunately screen mirroring is inactive. I think you remove the screen mirroring ability or your concept-ify rom does not support this ability.

in the case of OTG, I noticed that in TWRP environment it was inactive too. when I choose

the OTG from the STORAGE in spite of connecting the OTG cable nothing happening.

sincerely yours.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
You're right, the screen mirroring doesn't work. I will bring this up in our dev chat, and hopefully we can sort it soon enough. As for OTG, you will have to ask [MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION], as he brought it to TWRP :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] moharamir:
Smart lock

There is the other problem in the concept-ify rom.

In the case of smart lock, there were voice and face detection in official ROM that you can use your voice and face to unlock the cell phone. But in your ROM there is not any sign of above mentioned issue.

Well job.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
In the case of both screen mirroring and smart lock, chances are they are removed by the aggressive bloatware removal script. I can take a look later when I have some free time.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] trpsl:
voice detection becomes available when you install google app, and face unlock was removed cause it haven't worked well anyway.

Thanks bro i was waiting for this answer. I tried v9 wasn't good as 8.1 and I'm now on the ROM with 8 but you are right and thanks for your efforts this is the best rom ever for this device and last question which is better ise kernel auditor or not use it?

Hi. I have installed your nice ROM on my m4 aqua e2333 cell phone. The performance is excellent but unfortunately the screen mirroring in your extended rom is inactive despite of the Sony official rom. So would u plz solve this problem for the next effort.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
Conceptify v2 is out now! As per usual, one zip for all. Just flash the zip in TWRP, and follow the on screen instructions. It couldn't be simpler. We'll be adding some screenshots over the coming days with the new changes! Enjoy :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
Any change log please? Is there anysignificant changes in the core system? I've made my own tuning and modding, system runs butter smooth, is it worth to spoil it? ;)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
Oh yes sorry, the Changelog is in the zip, but I will add it to the main post too. There are lots of build.prop changes, such as fixing deep sleep so notifications show up again, and dpi changes. If you've changed anything in that, it may be affected, but anything else will be preserved by the update
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
Does it mean it would be enough to replace just the build.prop file itself (without cumbersome the whole /system partition replacement)? (If yes, please deliver here the very build.prop file iitself.)

Or are there also other changes elsewhere, especially concerning binaries, and maybe some more radical debloating than in version1?

Also in build.prop? ;)

My changes are:

- Xposed,

- moving many apps into the /system partition, so the freed space by you has been almost filled up,

- deleting some ROM's system apps and replacing them with my own, eg. Google Dialer with exDialer, Messages with Textra and so on.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

PS. Where in the zip is the build.prop file?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
I understand this exactly, but my question was about something more peculiar: some storage hardware is sensitive in which points (sectors) partitions borders exactly are.

Physically, storage is segmented in blocks, if any data is written actually the whole block is written (even if there just single bit is changed).

It is why, partitioning should place partitions borders exactly in blocks borders, otherwise performance and durability suffers.

(In modern SD cards, their controllers automatically take care to do it fully transparently for user, because SDs are for consumer end. And phone internal storage partitioning, formatting etc, is consumer hidden, so maybe devs must take care)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tmiland:
Hi, i get the error: "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255" when doing the last step to restore system and data, is the system partition to small for my backup?

Not able to boot, so question is; what do i do now?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kamilkos16:
U must have system mod which is bigger than 100mb if partition is too small or something like that if u want partitions back flash the ftf file
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tmiland:
Okay, so how would i accomplish that? :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
If something will go wrong - flash the .ftf file of the stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] cirnocirno:
What's the benefits and differences between this rom and pexo?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Let's start from the advantages: Our ROM is clean, fast, without any system mods (like Xposed, buggy BusyBox, Sound Mod, etc), it has stock AOSP feeling, it's smooth and clean.

The one and only disadvantage of this ROM is an installing procedure - it's big, can take a long time, and you can... Delete your bootloader if you will not be careful.

If you wanna get AOSP feeling while you're waiting for AOSP - then pick up that mod with an AOSP pack.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] cirnocirno:
Thank you for the explanation.

Another question, does this rom allow custom kernels?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Well, it's based on the stock ROM, so... Yes, it supports.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sakroth:
Well, i did everything right and now my phone did not boot. I can make it to fastboot or TWRP.. Through fastboot i cannot flash new ROM (size too large). Any tips?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Flash back to stock as that will restore the stock partition scheme and you should be fine after that.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sakroth:
Through what? I tryed flash via fastboot and sideload and both failed. If i'm in TWRP adb tells me that device is unauthorized. And yes, i had root before.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Through Flashtool flash stock firmware and then root again and then try to install the ROM again
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Have you wiped the caches?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Dunin:
In this step:

2. Make TWRP backup of /data and /system

should i backup /boot also or not?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MadNightKid:
My phone is e3332 16gb dual sim i flashed the main zip and the busybox zip when i went to bootloop and then flashed the aosp patch and still in bootloop i flashed a new stock rom through tft file and then do that again still bootloop when i flashed the mod nw i returned back to my back up everything fine i did clear cache when i was trying to flash the mod but still was in bootloop i think there is a problem in the mod the bootloop which i am in is android word but not like the stock that when i tried to flash the mod that's what happened
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Thedalamsyh:
you have to ve patient, it's not a bootloop. every time you clear dalvik cache on 5.0+ rom it takes more (like, a lot) time on booting. just wait and put your device on a cool place bcs it will be heating up like hell.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MadNightKid:
40min i think it's enough and i left it on that logo when i went to sleep to let it free in the time after clearing cache before i wrote that post
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] haiha2020:
When I change clock on screen, setting has error like this, you can fix it because i was flash M4_AQUA_PATCH_AOSP
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Can you change a clock on AOSP? No, you can't. That's why it doesn't work. If you want, I can provide a SystemUI from stock
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
In order to keep Concept-ify universal across all 6 models, we do not copy a build.prop file, instead we write directly to the existing build.prop. This is why we require users to be on stock before flashing, as any modifications could result in our changes not working properly. I'll add the additions to the build.prop at the bottom of this post.

We do not entirely remove /system, instead opting to remove known bloatware folders. As we discover more, we add them to the debloating script. This means that if your additions are not in a folder marked for removal, it will remain intact throughout the update. Only a few extra apps are removed in version 2 - I'll add the removals below the build.prop, for neatness.

Finally, we also require that a theme (Teal or Pixel) is selected upon updating. If you've made any SystemUI changes, framework-res changes or Settings changes, these will be lost.

Thank you so much, so the zip could be run over the version1 of ConceptFly already installed?

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Just done it! Installing "fresh ConceptFly" has worked perfectly and preserved everything! :)

However there is something, this kernel doesn't support f2fs, does it?

So can I use the previous kernel, i.e. from the version1 instead? It supported f2fs and I have many many apps on my Adopted storage which I have formatted as f2fs long before
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Pachops427:
Yep, that's why we moved to the update system! Just flash the zip in TWRP, and choose Update instead of Install. It's all explained in the menu :) Good luck, if you have any questions just ask here, or for a quicker response message me on Telegram, [MENTION=1057108]Pacho[/MENTION]ps

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Apparently we moved from smk9 to smk8 with the latest version, but it will still work with the old kernel if you wish to install that instead.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
Yes, now it works fine, after I installed SkyMelon 9 separately.

You've said new apps added to debloating but why in /system partition now there is less free space than in version1 of ConceptFly?

And, is there any chance to move clock back to the right side? Just matter of habits ;)

Afterall its need to say overall aesthetic impression is very good, dpi change is very sensible here! Thank you very much! :)
