PM to me if you experience any problem with this pack
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Ham1do:
Mine is M4 / 16GB . Is it possible to install this patch on pexo rom v3 ( stock mm based rom )

I have 956 mb free in system partition
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] velet:
Interesting... Some questions:

- Should I do this procedure on a fresh install of stock rom? Or can I do it on my setup which is stock rom with some bloatware removed with TWRP scripts?

- Will this result in a fresh install? Will I lose my data and apps?

- If I get careless and **** things up, will my current TWRP backup restore everything(even fix the partitions)?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kamilkos16:
There isn't any script for 16 GB version by now because I think it's not necessary

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

- u can try on some modified system but I don't guarantee it'll work like it should

- no if u backup data u shouldn't lose anything / It's in second step

- if u follow instructions u should be fine !!! Just be carefull and precise !!!

Can I apply this for E2312 8G?

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

The system more than 4GB, after apply this u have 5.5Gb that's mean move system app to SDCard?

SDcard can be format in this process.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sowa96:
So I should first flash a tft file, then do this?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Yes, you can. You'll get more space then)))
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sowa96:
I've flashed a clean tft file via flashtool, then I flashed it via TWRP. Now, it's been 20 minutes and it still didn't boot. And the phone is heated up.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Hmm... What did you do before bootloop? Have you only flashed the ZIP file?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Sowa96:
I flashed a clean rom via flashtool, flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed it via twrp.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
So, you haven't done anything with a partition resizing? It may be because of this. Also, have you wiped before flashing the FTF?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
And what does this patch exactly?

And will it do its job as it should if the stock system is already some tuned and tweaked (e.g. debloated, especially with associated odex files, also: with Xposed, Adopted storage formatted as F2FS, etc)?

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
The main patch will delete some unnecessary apps (AFAIK even Google ones) and will replace them by the Xperia X analogs

Probably, no. So much tweaks for the system. But you can make a backup, reflash the whole system, then get another backup and use this.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Xperia X, what is it?

And if a system is already debloated (including bloat apps odex files, so much free space is retrieved), Google stuff is replaced with "pico" opengapps.org,

then is the patch needed at all for resizing partitions with parted?

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

And how much free space is needed in the system partition to resize it this way?

ALTERNATIVE QUESTION:

Is the both partitions boundary, i.e. 6142

in:

mkpart primary 742 6142
mkpart primary 6142 7818

Is it set arbitrarily and we could set other value instead according only to our needs,

or

it must conform to some physical medium quantization (blocks etc) to maintain optimal data writing there?

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kamilkos16:
mkpart primary 6142 7818 means that the partiton start on 6142MB and it end on 7818MB which makes 1676MB partition so for example:

mkpart primary 742 6142
mkpart primary 6142 7818

You want to make first partition bigger so u take 200 mb from second one and get 742 6342 and 6342 7818 like that

U can't change 742 or 7818 u can change 6142 but in both commands must be same

Everything is good but i have problem when i install xposed. Phone boots normally everything works except Google play services. About every 10 second I get popup : "Google play services stopped

working" Its very annoying and Google apps doesnt work anymore. Any solution?

I have this issue only on Concept-ify. On stock Rom Xposed was working perfectly.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kazryu:
when will you push the new update?

or at least i want to test the system ui, is it possible to replace it to stock rom (not conceptify yet)

Hey, great job making this ROM, really appreciate your work.

But I have one problem: when I installed the backup (easy install), then there was only 3gb of free space. Can anyone help me with that?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
If you want more space then you need to do partition modding (not easy installation)

Hi, I did this way on my E2306. The system booted, but when the home screen showed up my softkeys were gone. What can I do for fix that? Also I get the message: Google Play has stopped.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] elpopa:
Hi Tx for your work!

With E2303 - unlocked bootloader

1. Used Flashtool to put stock android 5.0 ROM

2. Used Rootkit to Root

3. Used Kit to install TWRP 2.8.7.0

4. Used TWRP and the instructions EasyInstall for google drive

5. Restored the backup (content or E2303.zip)

6. Rebooted to system ->

but Phone blocks into white screen with xperia text on it... and heats up a lot...

Any solution?

tx
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
I think the issue is that you flashed Android 5.0 because of 6.0 since the stock 6.0 uses a new bootloader,and the old one cannot boot 6.0 so yeah.

Try doing everything again but instead flash stock 6.0,and install TWRP 3.0.2 or 3.1 from Fastboot,probably no need to root anything.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] elpopa:
Hi Dinkec, tx for the reply.

The problem I currently have is that with unlocked bootloader I'm not able to use the Fastboot commands... so cannot put TWRP on Android 6.0

The only solution (I currently know) to install TWRP for unlocked bootloader is to use Android 5.0, root device with .bat script (rootkit), and install TWRP with .bat script

I have no idea how those scripts work.

And the bad situation is that this solution doesn't work for Android 6.0, probably the .bat scripts are not developed yet by anyone..

I will research then how to put twrp on stock android 6.0 for unlocked bootloader.

Hear you
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Wait,if you cannot use fastboot then you have a locked bootloader,you haven't unlocked it then.

That is probably the reason why it bootlooped,because you tried to install a custom kernel over a locked bootloader.

The steps you used to root are for locked bootloaders where TWRP gets installed in the system partition since it cannot write to recovery since it is a locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] elpopa:
Hi Dinkec, my typo mistake, indeed, my bootloader is locked and unfortunately cannot be unlocked... so I have to give up installing this custom ROM. Tx anyhow for support!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
No problem,and if you want to use the phone maybe you could buy a new motherboard for the phone so you can make the bootloader unlockable.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] elpopa:
I think is not worth anymore to invest in it. I'll try a Android 6 stock + root + sd storage formated as internal
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mopide:
Hi, I've installed your ROM :) works perfect with skymelon v9 kernel. I have 44594 in Antutu after and all apps I need are already installed there! I saved some screenshots if anyone doesn't believe ;)

I have a problem with aosp ui zip. I've installed zip throught twrp but I still have Stock dialer and messaging. Also i had no pixel launcher after installing package. Is it normal?

And one another thing.. could you modify reduce pack not to delete keyboard from ROM. It is difficoult at the beginning if you don't have any keyboard.

Regards, Michał
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
Hi i have updates UI to v2

It looks beautiful I like it a lot but why did you change kernel to Destiny? Destiny is useless it's laggy. With skymelon it was much much better.

Could you please make version with skymelon too? I would be very thankful

EDIT: I have found out that now with destiny kernel battery life is much much better but it's little laggy.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] batflleck:
İ use to v2 . İts amazing with destiny kernel :) . No random reboot and i m very happy Please do not skymelon in the upcoming update. Thanks for rom :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
Yeah it's better but it's not that fast as skymelon.

And it's little laggy

EDIT: I tried HEBF Optimizer and now it's working perfectly no lags and it look beautiful good work keep it up guys ?

I recommend this app to everyone
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] batflleck:
I am very happy for you :))). It is also very nice that the solution is possible
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
Hey, can you add lockscreen from Xperia XZ in upcoming update? I had it installed previously on stock ROM and it looks cool
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gray47Maxx:
Our goal is to provide users a AOSP experience, so... No, sorry. But you can download a seperate mod and install it over Concept-ify ;^}
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
No I cant because it comes with skymelon kernel and in concept-ify you use destiny kernel

Or you could add Viper4Android in upcoming update :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] antonyag:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Lavire69:
You have probably flashed AOSP UI zip without booting to system first
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] antonyag:
Now I'm confused ...

The procedure I followed was to copy the backup files and restore using TWRP.

---- Edit [SOLVED]

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] julian20:
Hey first of all, thanks for this awesome stable custom rom :p

But theres a small problem (probably bug? Or is it just me being dumb?)

Well, i am using an E2303 phone(@Pachops427) and flashed UIv2.

I followed the installation according to the instructions and its booting fine and all.

But i can't access the APNs settings :/

I need to add something there to make use of the mobile data of my sim card...

Once i open up the APNs settings it says "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user".

Thanks in advance, though i am hoping to get help/a fix pretty soon, as it's pretty uncomfortable to go out without internet access ._.

EDIT:

I found a workaround, which fixes my problem with adding an apn:

(ugh i cant add links yet... just search for "android stackexchange how do i add an apv via adb" on google)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
Hi I was thinking too that it is bug but I solved it out.

You can Add APN just click on plus next to the 3 dots in the right upper corner ( that plus is barerly visible but it is there)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] julian20:
Nah thats not it. In that state this didnt work, as it didnt allow you to. Though i think the problem is, that theres no content://telephony/carriers/preferapn yet. After i added mine via adb manually, the options in the settings did start to work too flawless.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] RapthorneLightweaver:
So after wrestling with a few issues on my xperia m4 aqua 8GB (E2303) I finally have Conceptify installed with the v1 of the ui flashed, however I seem to get only a black screen along with a google search bar and a play store button at the bottom of the screen.

The software navigation buttons are also absent, which makes this impossible for me to use, as the m4 aqua doesn't have any hardware navigation options
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Vlatchey:
The 2303.zip file is flashing ok, but theres systemUI bugs. The touch buttons are no where to be found.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] RapthorneLightweaver:
I fixed my boot loop issue, it seemed to be related to battery charge. After letting my battery charge to 100%, all went fine, I do however have a question: How do I change the colour scheme with the rom for the E2303? There are no themes available in the settings, and I really don't want to download an advert riddled themes app just to change the colour scheme

About the E2333

Hi guys, thanks for work !

First, I root the phone flashing recovery and boot using flashtool on debian... and it works fine.

Then, I flash the rom "M4_PATCH_REDUCE.zip " from early flashed TWRP 2.76.

My first question is :

Before exiting, TWRP tells me it seems my phone isn't rooted.

Must I RE-root or not? I think yes! I'm right or not?

Second question :

How many time it will be works at start before starting?

Thanks for answers...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rommelreis:
Can I flash the 2303.zip over the SkyMelon9 or do i need another kernel to flash.Also I am talking about the second 2303.zip you guys provided the 2GB one with full system setup.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rommelreis:
First boot is taking like a hour.Is it normal.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rommelreis:
I installed it now but now theres the problem with pixel launcher and no navigation bar.Any solutions ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] F4JL0:
Its probabaly because you restored backup and you also flashed UI.

So first do restore then let phone boot up first time

Then turn it off boot to recovery and flash UI

Thats all.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rommelreis:
I exactly did what you said.First i flashed 2303.zip https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1vAbEvGbEIGI6DKgO4euz0d-Mms5_Qemq in this link then waited for the boot.After boot I was getting calendar,message,pixel launcher stopped errors.Then I booted into recovery and flashed M4_PATCH_AOSP and booted again.It was same erros messages again.No launcher no nav bar just a black screen with error messages.Any fix?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mopide:
For me everything was working on my e2303 :) better then on stock. I choose manual installation :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rommelreis:
First of all thanks for the great work guys.As a tester and user for a day i got some problems(e2303).

-All in one zip you guys provided is not working.Only manual install with backup works.

-I cant get Wi-Fi and cellular data to work after restore so i gotta flash skymelon uifix.

-After installing some apps like Facebook, Whatsapp ,Youtube etc it starts stuttering really hard.

-Big heat problem after skymelon fix.

-Installation tutorial isnt that clear.Its too messy and its hard to see where the files is.I didnt even know there was a Skymelon fix if I didnt wonder old installing process.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Yes, agree, tutorial is messy so many people (probabely including You) make mistakes installing this ROM.

I had stock MM, thoroughly modded myself, with Xposed modules, debloated done, SkyMelon kernel, most user apps moved to Adopted Storage - wich I had have formatted as F2FS (SkyMelon supports it)

It worked well but some irritating glitches made me interest in your work.

Now I have restored the backup for my model E2303 from the first post GoogleDrive link - but ONLY for system partition (has wiped it before). And the data partition as a whole stays intact ;)

In general it works great!

Indeed, there were wifi and some ui elements problems, but it just needed:

- flashing the file m4_aosp_ui.zip too - which is essentially SkyMelon kernel (as far as I can see) with its wifi libs,

- flslashing open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico.zip downloaded from www.OpenGapps.Org - as the original Google stuff was too heavy and misbehaved.

(But these two zips need FLASHING not just restoring downloaded backup like the main ROM, maybe some people are confused with the difference?)

Now it worked much better than before, with Xposed modules intact, Adopted Storage in F2FS recognized together with apps there.

What is missing: Xperia Contacts from the stock ROM, it was much nicer and lighter than this GoogleContacts. Is there any possibility to replace it back? :)

This applies to Google Messages too - but I've already frozen it and installed Textra instead ;)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] othmane.os:
Hi Bro , I think you should update or remove that tutorial video , the method of updating partitions table is too dangerous , if you have happen deleted any unwanted partitions than it probably no way to solve it with flashmode or restart the phone (cause your already format system and data so well stuck on bootloop)

anyway I advice people who are doing this because of that 8Gb storage ,to part wisely and with careful too

you can still gain more 250Mb of storage if reseize the OEM partition which is used only by 16-20Mb

27 273MB 300MB oem

28 300MB 510MB cache

29 510MB 6018MB userdata

30 6018MB 7818MB system

with this you gain I think the max out of userdata you can beside you still can downseize system as you wish

but please if you happen tape rm(delete) with wrong number just add a number of the partition that doesn't exist so that you can't have problem (as you can see in partitioning there's no backspace to delete)

I've happen parting so many times but this time have deleted partition s1sbl N:3 which I think is responsible of flashmode (haha) then I turn off the phone to flash with firmware as said in video toturial and (boom) flashmode isn't working again only boot into fastboot mode which is useless with root and Debug enabled

now I think this hardbrick is unsolvable :angel:
