Extract the meta-inf folder from the zip below, then extract your copy of the rom, replace the meta-inf folder then download the magisk.zip below and put it in the magisk folder and rezip. I modified the installer to show magisk 17.2 instead of 16.3 so that is what you are replacing. Some text and the next/back button text is still Chinese, but 99% is English now. Enjoy.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] baddmojo:
Hey dude,

HUGELY appreciate your consistent, concise and up-to-date posts around this ROM/xposed :good:

Just for clarification: are you saying I/we don't need to manualy flash xposed (I planned on flashing systemless ver) or [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] 's Kernel patch?

Also: as a fellow 'strayan :cowboy:, are you using a G8141 or G8142 (dual-sim)? Reason I ask is because I (not unlike a bunch of others before me) get no signal reception after having correctly flashed [MENTION=6501207]saved-j[/MENTION] 's initial post via their instructions (in correct sequence). I also attemtpted the [potential] workaround suggested in the OP footnote - but that merely serves to create a bootloop doing it that way.

I know that different regions often use different signal frequencies (reflected in the f/w), which is why it would be ideal hearing from you (hopefully you're using G8141, like me)

Cheers again, mate :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Yes you have to flash xposed, the xposed fix just makes it possible. You don't need any kernel patch, it's all included. I have a g8141, I always just flash stock firmware, let it boot and set it up, then install twrp and the rom.

I know it sounds stupidly simple but have you tried entering your apn manually?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Pandago41:
Hye, good work for your rom, I flashed the 1.8 Mrom to my G8142 (. 20) with gapss and xposed patch then i got bootloop.

My G8142 is unlocked and twrp 3.2.1.0

Can you guide me the right step tak make your rom work on my xzp?

Sorry im noobies ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] baddmojo:
Thought that might be the case - I just sought clarity since you didn't mention it in those 3 steps in the post I quoted ;P

OK, so I actually was on OFW 47.1.A.16.20 about a week ago and was feeling so empty inside from not being able to get xposed working on stock f/w (always the bootloop and no fix/workaround in sight for that F/W build). Then I saw this and 2-3 other threads mentioning a fix for xposed when used in conjunction with this ROM - but all of them were for 47.1.A.12.270 OR EARLIER builds - so I downgraded f/w, bla bla bla boring long story bla...

then I read this entire thread at which point (literally minutes ago) I realised that in spite of the OP not mentioning it/revising the original post, there is, in fact, a fix for .20 build (thanks to you and others)

That's why, [MENTION=6501207]saved-j[/MENTION] , I strongly second the motion to

revise the original post

: EVEN IF IT MEANS SIMPLY QUOTING the relevant posts from the last 2 pages or so...

Long story short: was on the latest official AU f/w build, downgraded for no reason, wasted hours of reading what turned out to be needless and altogether irrelevant information just to get to this point - re-flashing the stock .20 f/w I was on to begin with - which is what I'm about to do now as soon as I finish writing this sad diary entry ;/

It doesn't sound stupid at all, and I thought about for briefly, but seing as more than a few others had reported the same exact problem I decided it probably wasn't worth the effort (I suppose I assumed that the other ppl who had reported having this problem would've bothered trying this before mentioning it being a problem hahahaha)

Anyway cheers for the promt af reply, mate. Ima flash back the latest stock f/w, set it up, then flash rom, etc as you suggested. Will let you know :good::good::good::good:

P.S. sorry for the long post :/

Haha sorry fixed it now, I deleted half the link
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] baddmojo:
I was half way through doing it this way anyway because TWRP was giving me a failure code when trying to flash your packaged Eng version. I think that code relates to Magisk (integration error?). Cheers for being so quick to clarify there was a problem though :good:

One question: I noticed that your English version's build.prop hasn't been modified to reflect "maple", "G8141" (instead maintains it's "maple_gsgs", "G8142") even though you're using a G8141 device. [MENTION=5576622]amakuramio[/MENTION] mentioned in a seperate thread (which inspired this one) that G8141 users should edit the build.prop to reflect their device... Should I do this, or is it unecessary?

It's purely cosmetic. You can change it if you like.

Follow all the steps I listed EXCEPT replacing magisk. DO NOT change the included magisk and the rom will flash fine.

I have put everything back together in a new zip, it will take a bit to upload but I will repost the link when it's finished. It will have English aroma and settings and the build.prop modified to show G8141. Magisk 16.3 included as standard but you can update to 17.2 once the rom is up and running. I keep getting errors with 17.3.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] baddmojo:
By extension, don't overwrite meta-inf as it isn't necessary [MENTION=9518596]Pandago41[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
You can replace the meta-inf folder to get the translated aroma, it was just the magisk causing issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] baddmojo:
Oh fair enough- I didn't actually peruse your changes to you made the meta - thought it was merely a revision to reflect the sucessive Magisk version.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Nah, stock meta inf (aroma-config actually) is in chinese, Google translate and a bit of spare time sorted that.

Here is the revised English M-ROM v1.8

- settings APK translated

- aroma in english (90% anyway)

Flash rom

Flash Gapps (optional - rom comes with playstore and not much else)

Flash xposed fix (if you want it) and xposed

Reboot, profit.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] saved-j:
True.

BTW I've just added the links to the post above to the OPs.

I still don't see myself updating to the 1.8 bcz I don't really think I'll benefit from it. My PC has died, the laptop was taken back by my ex, and I don't have time to play with the fw anyway these days. Maybe sometime next week I'll repair my PC and find some time to finish the translation of the 1.8 based on the .16.20 as it seems to be the last Oreo fw.

And I'll possibly try to include some of the other patches and things I liked to do for myself.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheArbez:
Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for some help with my Pixel. I was charging my Pixel overnight (though it was at ~65% battery) on a battery pack a couple nights ago, and when I woke up the phone was turned off. Nothing I can do now will get it to turn back on. I've tried multiple chargers (including the OEM), leaving it plugged in for a long time and then trying to turn it on, turning it on while holding power + volume down, etc. My PC will make a sound when I plug it in, like it recognizes a new USB device, but then it won't show up as a device.

Any ideas on what to do about this or what could be causing this issue? Currently phoneless so any and all help is hugely appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Stock or rooted? Have you tried different cables? Can you enter bootloader mode?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheArbez:
Stock. I've tried two different cables, three different chargers. Can't get it to boot in any way.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Holy crap! Almost sounds like your mother board went kaput! If you can't get into recovery or bootloader mode to do a factory reset, then about the only option as I see it is RMA. You certainly have grounds for it!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matekaneve:
Something similar happened to me couple of month ago. The phone was on the charger and when I wanted to check it I noticed it was switched off. I could not switch it back on, tried to put it on different chargers, pressing different button combinations along with the power button, nothing helped. I then plugged the phone in to one of the usb 2 ports in the pc, used an Anker usb A to usb C cable. I could hear the sound the pc recognized it, then pressed volume up, volume down and power button for about 15-20 seconds. The phone switched back on... Since then (touch wood) hasn't happened again... Worth giving a try...

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.

For more info, you may go to the link below:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager

Since Samsung Galaxy S8 onwards, I did not test this app with a real Samsung device. Most of the time I fixed the device-dependent issues according to the feedback from Samsung users. I know this is not a good way and it is not easy to fix a device-dependent issues without a real Samsung device. So I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to clear up some issues that piled up since then.

I have roughly tested the basic functionalities of Light Manager app on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and most of them are working fine.

I will keep testing and fixing the old Samsung issues. If you have found any new issues, you may report here as well.

Thank you.

I have been using the pro version for a long time

on my Samsungs, lgs, note 8 and now with my note 9.

the app works very good.

once in a while I have to restart the app from within the app to make everything work again. that's because sometimes it stops showing the right led color or it works during "sleeping time".

Any way, I find it the best app for me.

I AM JUST WONDERING what is the difference between the app I have (light manager pro v 12.3.5) and the one You show on the top?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mckoo:
Are you using normal mode or alternating mode?

Light Manager Pro has no advertisement. While the one shown on the top is a free version with advertisement.

I am using normal mode.

it's good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lazarus0000:
What is the difference in the different modes? When I changed modes, trying to get alternating notifications, I lost the ability to get notifications on my Gear 2Pro. I went back to "normal" mode & it works fine but I don't see that I have alternating notifications. Now that my watch provides notifications, I don't use the LED the way I used to, if @ all really. But it's nice to be able to glance at it & know what app is alerting me.

Good app.

Will likely buy the Pro version! But do wish there was more explanation about the various modes & options

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mckoo:
There are three operating modes:

1) Normal Mode - Only one LED notification color will be flashing

2) Alternating Mode - A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received

3) Screen Mode - Notifications alert will be shown on screen (For those devices without a physical notification LED, only available for Android 4.3 and above)

You are using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and alternating mode is not working for you?

The alternating mode seems to be working for me FYI.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mckoo:
Yes, it should start up automatically if you have enabled Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Start On Boot.

Are you using any task killer, battery saving app, cache clearing app or antivirus?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Yes, I've always had it 'Start on Boot' since w/ my N4. I'm not aware of it running any task killer/battery saving app, as it's still running stock.

You can add any installed app in Light Manager, then try out see if it works for you or not.
