:)XPERIA XZ2 UI Rom v2.9.5 for Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Single & Dual Devices

This version of the rom is an update of the original rom by Machao44. The updates are only minor and the problems that used to be in the previous versions still exist.

Only the new dialer port from XZ2 can be called a good update in this version.

Some of the cool options like Ambient display and its sub features still don't work as they should.

Additional instructions for users who need clean SafetyNet pass and use Magisk without Xposed: (Thanks to colorado48)

Safetynet should work directly however, if Safetynet does not pass directly after installing the v2.9.5, download and install any terminal emulator from play store. Search for module named Magisk hide props from within Magisk Manager. Flash the module, Reboot, then go to terminal, type "su" first, then type "props", then follow the instructions to edit the fingerprint. Choose the appropriate fingerprint version for Z5 .54, then reboot when asked.

Optional Instructions:

1. Users should not lose their network after flashing this rom however,

For users who have still lost their network after flashing this rom, please choose appropriate stock single or dual sim Z5 firmware .54 in Flashtool and do not select anything in the Wipe column and select everything but AMSS_FS_1, AMSS_FS_2, AMSS_FS_FSG and MODEM in the Exclude column. You should get your network back.

2. Flash FSC thermal mod and your choice of kernel if required. (Not recommended if you need a stable everyday use rom. )

Please let me know if there are any errors in the instructions and i'll correct it for the benefit of others.

Please try to mirror the rom if you can since I would have to delete these roms from my drive eventually.

Press Thanks if this post helped you. :)
