I have the same problem, I've installed Skymelon 8.1 no root to fix the wifi problem but my phone began to restart from time to time and the pixel launcher was giving me FC all the time. I've installed Nova Launcher trough ADB. However, I'm still having bootloops.

I do like Concept-Ify:laugh:

How to bypass the bootloop

Hi, u simplely can bypass the bootloop by this way:

1. Flash m4 official rom by flashtool.

2. Flash skymelon 9 which there is in SKYMELON 9 forum in ADB mode with this command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then flash TWRP by this command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. Flash concept-ify v3. according the mentioned method in this forum

! Avoid installing concept-ify v2 or v3.5

That's it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Bisshop69:
I deleted the V3, the version in the main page is a bit heavier than the previous I downloaded. where can i get the v3?

I will try what you say thank you man!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pszep:
Any luck to get v3 (not 3.5)... I'm also looking for the same.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Could you please share v3?

I was trying your advice, but with v3.5 (the only one I have) and no luck. Mobile is booting for ever...

Thank you in advance
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gulasch-Hanuta:
That would be really great!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
I have perfectly working v3 version (with precise own customization), so Guys would you advice not to install 3.5?

E2303 Concept-ify - the AOSP-ed MM ROM
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Joacoking:
Hello Guys :)

I have some questions before I want to completely change the stock rom:

- So now, the Concept-ify rom can not be used, because v3 and v3.5 is running on SMK9, and the phone can get bootloop and "No Wi-Fi" problems. Even if you change the kernel to SMK8, there is some ppl, who has the bootloop problem, right?

- Is there a way to make totally functioning the actually version of the rom?

- Why the old rom versions are not available for cases like this? Is there a way you could share all versions again?

- The v4 version will run on SMK8?

- Is there an estimated date when will be the v4 version available?

- What about the battery with this rom/kernel? If it is worse than the stock, then can you configure the kernel to get longer battery time against the performance than the stock rom?

- Is there overheating/thermal problems?

Thank you very much, keep up the greatest work around :fingers-crossed:

Hi, few days ago I had the same problem. Do following:

1. Flash m4 official rom by flasttool

2. Flash skymelon9

3. Flash concept-ify

It worked form me
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SUPERUSER:
I have a acute error.

The launcher is causing a constant force close. Customized Pixel launcher.

The alarm did not go off this morning. Luckely we woke up only 20 minutes late.

And the phone did not charge even though it was plugged in the whole night.

I wiped dalvik cache, cache.

Removed nexus launcher from data/data, and from sd0/android/data, sd1/android/data

But it is still force closing on boot.

I solved the boot issue.

Removed Customized Pixel launcher from system/priv-app, removed all files from data/data, sd0/android/data, sd1/android/data.

Installed Nova Launcher via ADB.

Rebooted to TWRP and wipe Dalvik cache and cache.

Now the phone boots again.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] antonyag:
Sorry if there is already a workaround for this problem on previous pages.

Follow the step-by-step installation instructions, but after the system reboots, Sony Logo appears for half a second, and then the phone turns off.

Does anyone know what I should do?

Thanks.

WiFi problems

Dear users, after installing Concept-ify WiFi stopped working

I can go to that menu and can even turn it on but it still writes "to see available netwroks, turn WiFi on" and nothing there even if my wifi router is near the phone

Before I had never ever any problem with WiFi

What should I do?

And another, Flash and LED will work or is that only my problem? I had such problems before and now wanna now does anybody have same problems?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] antonyag:
I solved the previous problem and problem with the wifi following the steps:

- Flash with flashtool (Xperia M4 Aqua > E2306 > CDA 1294-3910) - E2306_26.3.A.1.33_1294-3910_R5C.ftf (Android 6.0.1)

- Re-Install TWRP and Re-root using the tool (https://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430)

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img TWRP 3.1.1-0

- Installing Concept-ify v3 by TWRP

- Flash Skymelon 9 boot.img by TWRP

Btw, thanks.

Thank for this nice ROM.

Maybe I missed something but how can I add an exchange account ? this kind of account is not present in the list and I don't know which app to install from store to add this functionnality.

Any help ?

Thank you

this is now handle by the gmail app
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
It's superb ROM, is the only sensible for our Xperia Aqua.

I use it since the very beginning of its arival.

HOWEVER, ther's one thing which lacks: LOCATION doesn't want to work!

I'm speaking about SATELITE GPS only - as it is known OpenGapps.org Pico version doesn't support location via WiFi, Bluetooth and BTSes

(for this, the MINI OpenGapps is requierd, but it's missing for MM, as we can see on OpenGapps.org site)

So, why just SATELITE location doesn't work?

I've checked this XperiaAqua and the XiaoMi MiMax with custom ROM also with PICO OpenGapps. Both devices were putted side by side outdoors: MiMax catched satelite fix instantly and Xperia tried "looking" for half an hour.

For this the application GPS_Status-Pro-v8.4.177_build_177 was used.

Why is this? Are some GPS drivers needed there? Are they enabled in kernel?

The GPS location is needed, or any location at all! So what about providing MINI OpenGapps? And maybe microG?

E2303 Concept-ify - the AOSP-ed MM ROM
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
Now it works! It's a mistery why previously it failed.

Maybe it is unstable, once it works and in other time - tne oposite?

What are your exprrience with GPS (only device, not net&BT)?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kingOfart:
Hello

I have the same problem with the same configuration as you ....

Any body for a solution ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
Yet to confirm but it seems you must turn on GPS from the QuickSettings icon (on tne status bar drawer), so the whole location must be switched on (including WiFi and BT based, despite there is no Google on tne system).

Then GoogleMaps works outdoors - but NOT the newest one (which probabely will refuse to ccoperate without Google services and the whole this bulky staff)

Concept-ify Gear Loop

Hey guys, newbie here, so forgive me in advance if I say anything stupid here. :eek:

So I recently got an Xperia M4 Aqua (E2353) which I unlocked, and installed recovery TWRP 3.0.2-0. I'm trying so hard to get any ROM working on this phone.

So far no success, the only one ROM so far to boot up was this one, only thing is that it gets stuck on the gear loop. I've tried waiting for an hour, no luck.

Also left it on and charging until the next day, still was in the gear loop.

I did a backup of my original ROM, deleted everything (Also Format Data) then reinstall my backup and the install Concept-ify with TWRP. Nothing, same gear loop.

Maybe re-installing TWRP? Also, can I flash Concept-ify manually via fastboot?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zkoz:
I was on concept-ify and moved to Pexo rom, maybe it can works on your xperia?

In my opinion it does not matter if you install zip fom twrp or fastboot.

Ps: I use E2303
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kostasio:
During the loop try to press simultaneously volume-up and power for several seconds, the phone will reboot out of the loop to the initial startup screen by itself - hope it will help.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] NeoHikamaru:
Sir, you are a genius, it works! :D Though I wonder what could be causing the boot-loop not to work at first, and after rebooting making it suddenly work.

This should be in the instructions in case others have the same problem.

Xperia M4 Aqua E2353 works so far, let you know if I run to any problems with it. :good:

Hi!

Why making a factory reset I get a bootloop?

I also note that if I wipe Dalvik Cache/ART I get a bootloop.

Edit: after some tests I can tell there's not any problem with wiping dalvik cache or factory resets.

The first boot after installing concept-ify I got a bootloop in 90% cases (if not 100%, I can't remember) but in that cases, while in loop, I forced a reset by pressing Vol+ and Power button for some seconds. Then next start successes and an alert appers saying "Android is starting, optimizing app 3 of ...".

That amount of apps (3 of 19; 1 of 2, etc.) was variable in my tests, so I think it could be a bug in concept-ify for first boots.

Wish I could help some people, as I "wasted" several hours trying to guess what's happening.

Best regards and sorry for my english :P
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Hi again:

After some other tests I can confirm that once you have installed concept-ify and use it as normal, if you power off or restart your phone, you get again a bootloop. And that bootloop keeps forever even with the workaround I described in my other post.

My test was:

1. Install Stock Rom (in my case, through a nandroid copy I had)

2. Flash newest recovery as it seems to be mandatory.

3. Usually factory reset to delete previous old data from my nandroid copy (from recovery)

4. Flash concept-ify from recovery

5. Flash mirror-screen-fix from recovery

6. Flash SkyMelon 9 from recovery (I need this because I can't use WiFi with skymelon inside concept-ify)

7. First boot I get a bootloop.

8. I press Vol+ and Power off until it restarts

9. Seconde boot finished and I can configure my phone as it was new.

10. Install my apps, some calls, messaging, even Android Auto (GPS ok), all fine.

11. Today I wanted to power off my phone and it's now stuck on a bootloop.

Please, any advice will be welcome. I think this ROM looks pretty well, but maybe it has some minor bugs which make it a non stable version.

Best regards
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Hi again:

Just to confirm, If I only flash Concept-ify the bootloop disappears (only first time happens), but WiFi does not work. System says I need to activate it but it is activated.

If I flash Concept-ify and then SkyMelon 9, WiFi does work, but after a few reboots, the bootloop appears again and I can't access the operating system anymore.

For my first impressions about this ROM I think it's very light and user-friendly, but since it appears to be buggy, I think I have to choose another ROM. Any suggestions please?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zkoz:
Only Pexo rom saves you, no other rom here.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Thank you very much, I will give it a try. I liked concept-ify because of the "android stock" appearence, but it's buggy.

Are the developers going to fix it?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zkoz:
You can also try the installation as I said in the post of 30 August

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

I do not think that for a long time no one has introduced anything new.(build, patches..)

;)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Hi! I followed your steps, but same result. In this case, no WiFi. Besides, do it make sense to flash skymelon before concept-ify? When installing concept-ify, it shows "installing skymelon kernel", so I think it overwrites the first flash.

That's a pitty developers are not working on this any more. Concept-ify seemed pretty cool
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zkoz:
I know, but then I also had trouble with wifi, then I tried different things and it helped me. :)

Stuck in bootloop.Done this on a fresh stock rom. :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
That's a shame. WiFi errors and constant bootloops. How can developers say it is stable? I appreciate their efford, but current version is not stable and it's not functional.

I have tried everything possible. When everything seems ok, after some reboot I get a bootloop. Very anonying.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
after flashing ROM, or restoring backup via TWRP you must wipe caches etc., AND afterwards on first boot there is veeery long process of "optimizing apps", needs patience.

And, what here is unique in this ROM, the initial optimization triggers few reboots, so do not touch anything, just wait - IT IS NOT BOOTLOOPS (however it looks like)

These initial optimization process including its few reboots may take even an hour, usually half, depending how many system applications are (as we have discussed previously it is a good idea to move frequently used apps into system partition to use vast amount of free space there)

So, it goes like, consequently:

- you restore "backup" via TWRP and do wipe caches just after it in TWRP yet

- boot, it looks like "stuck", when optmizing multitude system apps, displaying the progress message on white background message, about 15 min

- at last LAUNCHER seems started, and... BOOTLOOP!

NO, THIS ISN'T BOOTLOOP!

While launcher started it looks it was ready, but the initial optimization was still running in background and needed REBOOTING to continue!

- so system reboots and launcher arrives much sooner this time, you want to use the phone but... OOOPS it REBOOTS!

YES, THE OPTIMIZATION IS STILL RUNNING and just needed reboot for its process

- the above cycle repeats few times (2-3), so just wait this half an hour until the system setlles :)

It's worth, afterwards it runs smooth like a butter :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Yesterday I had to factory reset my Xperia and I tried it again from the beginning. I got a bootloop since my mobile was more than 3 hours with the gear animation. My phone was charging and after ~10 minutes I heard the sound that indicates the mobile is charging, so I guess there is something wrong with the startup. Maybe mobile started successfully but the gear animation was still there. After 3 hours I forced a reboot by pressing power + vol up.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I want to share with you all my conclusions and inquiries after trying a lot of things. I now have Concept-ify running and all seems to be working. Here are the steps I followed to get it working:

0. First you need to have installed latest sony firmware version on your Xperia M4 (stock MM) and TWCP (recovery.img from the first post, maybe other versions work but I used that). Also, insert a microSD with Concept-ify.zip from first post and kernel SkyMelon 8.zip. After doing some tests I think versions 8.1 and 9 end up failing (or maybe not ). Download from here: https://goo.gl/OTHOnb

1. Start in recovery mode, and go to WIPE to make a factory reset. This will delete all your data. Do not reboot.

2. Go to INSTALL and select Concept-ify.zip from your microSD. Install it and do not reboot.

3. Go to BACKUP and make a backup of your boot.img partition. Do not reboot.

4. Go to INSTALL and flash skymelon 8 (neither 8.1 nor 9). This will fix WiFi problem. Do not reboot.

5. Go to RESTORE and restore your boot.img backup. Do not reboot.

6. Go to WIPE and wipe dalvik cache. Reboot.

7. If your mobile keeps on gear animation for more than 30 min, force a reboot by pressing power + vol up.

I think the problem is that Concept-ify used skymelon 9, but when they went back to version 8, developers didn't adapt back the rest of components, so WiFi was not working. When installing concept-ify and later skymelon, I ended up with bootloops but restoring boot.img saved my day.

Now I have Concept-ify working with magisk. The only thing I have noticed is Amazon app is not available from Play Store, as it indicates that my device is not supported for that app version.

Best regards.

Hello Guys, take a look into this NanoDroid development thread :)

I have just installed it on my Xperia M4 Aqua, because there is always a space problem in this model, and I am happy so much to see how big progress has been made in this project recently! :)

Everything Google like works perfectly now, without this original bulky stuff!

Take care, what applications do you choose to install together with microG, bundled together within the main big package, there are many of Open-something-like apps there!

They are really interesting and useful, but probabely there are simply too many of them for space scarce XperiaAqua and you should install them very selectively.

Especially usuful I find Blocada, perfectly and robustly filters TCPIP traffic to sift off ADVERTINGS! :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pepit0grillo:
Hi, I have read the thread but I can't figure out what's nanodroid for. Could you explain it to me please?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Is there written in NanoDroid thread also one of the two Xposed modules: XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp or XposedUnifiedNlp is needed for network location to work?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65018874

http://repo.xposed.info/module/be.r3w6.intika.xposedunifiednlp

XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp or XposedUnifiedNlp, both are Xposed framework modules, but just one of them needs to be installed!

XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp with MicroG, and XposedUnifiedNlp when there isn't MicroG in the system.

Never both together!

(But honestly just XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp with MicroG was the combination I tried to and made function properly)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawwaap:
It's obvious: NanoDroid is the light weight replacement for bulky Google stuff.

NanoDroid provides the services essentially Google does, but:

- on internal storage NanoDroid takes max 100MB instead of Google's 1GB,

- NanoDroid provides Goggle services without ANALYTICS ;)

In the big package NanoDroid-20.2a.20181122.zip from the site there are many various frequently used apps too.

It's your choice if you want them. First, run NanoDroid-setupwizard-20.2.20181122.zip to configure what will install when you run the big package.

These additional apps are good, open source, slim and lite (without analytics) replacements for frequently used stock etc. ones, as well, e.g. SlimFace (Facebook), Twiddero (Twitter), Amazing (nice featured file manager), Lighting (web browser similar to Chrome), lite calendar, Blokada (effective advertisements bloker on the TCPIP level), KeyPass (password manager) and so on

Enjoy :)

Tried about 5 times installing this rom on my e2303, it just bootloops until the battery runs out. Really would like to use this but I guess no dice this time.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Qwerty@dmin:
Battery-related issues

Is there a fix for the bootloop caused by the battery runnig out of power? And/or (consequentially) is it possible to perform a battery calibration without bootloops? Because once I've removed Xposed the phone was running quite smootly until two days ago when battery died.

Also, generic question: it's possible to have a precise list of the changes made to the stock ROM? I can guess some from the AROMA installer script, but some changes aren't so clear for me (I'm far from being an expert about Android modding, this is my first time unpacking a ROM installer).
