Only xz2 lockscreen clock and ambient display. Pliz.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
I think you can make your phone just like stock, but only use those 2 features, if you want...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chinoulp11:
How?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
What things about eXistenZ do you not want? Why can you not use the room as it is? It's based on the stock XC Oreo ROM, so just don't use the features you don't want...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chinoulp11:
I just want my device to be as it is, but with the functions of the ambient screen and the blocking clock
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
So flash this, (after you make a backup), and only use those things...

Error. Can't get the location!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
I'm using Sailfish at the moment, but weather location worked fine for me, but I didn't use custom location.

2 questions:

1. Are you saying that the system finds your custom location, but won't load the weather, or are you saying that you want weather for a custom location, and the location you want doesn't show up?

2. Does it work fine when using 'My Location'?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
(a special location doesn't ,want the current location doesn't)

this is working.)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chinoulp11:

Omnijaw weather. I think the trial version is over

For a few days, the built-in weather extension has shown "No weather data available" in the DashClock widget on my home screen. I tried with custom location and with automatic location, and I got the same result. I assume it's a problem with the Yahoo Weather API

Hey lovone1 xposed didn't work on eXistenZ not working
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
I'm using Sailfish at the moment, but Xposed was fine for me. What's happening that's not working?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Xposed .......??
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
This eXistenZ rom has Xposed fix included. Don't flash anything else.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
i have installed and bootloop
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Strange - have you done anything else to modify any jar files, (framework, services, etc)? Is Magisk installed? I have not had any trouble getting Xposed to work with this. Test it with a full clean install. Could be some data conflict...

Omnijaws

*i don't understand this error
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Sorry, neither do I. I haven't had any problems with Omni weather. It could be a temporary issue on the server end... Try with different options, like with Yahoo instead of Openweather, etc.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Is it possible to change the weather supplier in Omnijaws?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
There's some settings in Appearance > Lockscreen Weather. See if it's the same with all. I don't remember what I had set, but it worked fine for me...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
*The status bar and lock screen do not show the icon even if the settings are enabled.

*omni rom also works great, but eXistenZ weather not working.

*eXistenZ also says weather update is disabled.

*omni 9 is working but why not work on eXistenZ.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
I'm using Sailfish right now, so can't check, but you can see from my previous screen shots that I had it working. I can only suggest typical troubleshooting, like: is location enabled? Device restart? Different options, (it says service disabled, but you have to switch it on, either in lockscreen weather settings or in eXistenZ settings, or in app preference permissions, or...)?

I can flash back to eXistenZ later to check it out...

*waiting for news when back to eXistenZ

*thank you
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Here's my screenshots, showing it working and my settings. I don't know what could be the difference... Maybe something to do with carrier/network? Maybe there's a way to start the service manually? Did you check for location permission switch in Omnijaws app settings? or...?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Misunderstanding this rom previously backed up.

*Close, hungry settings will not work
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] evilorb:
The Yahoo API is deprecated now, look at the Omnijaws Github or Yahoo website.

And I don't know where I need to put the API key for the other provider Openweather.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Omnijaws no chance to update with the new api?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
It would have to be updated in original eXistenZ, since this is a port. I don't think there's been any update since this version. [MENTION=5897890]lubik1[/MENTION] posted an update of the patch for X, but I don't think there were any changes in the files, just the flashing procedure...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Hey [MENTION=6283426]levone1[/MENTION]

*You have a chance to communicate with lubik 1?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
His rom is also a port... We would need an update from [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], but I think he's currently working with XZ series, so probably going to be focused on Pie, which we wouldn't be able to port, since XC is not getting official Pie update. There may not be any more eXistenZ Oreo updates.

One idea is to use a different weather service... (Omnijaws means: "Omni "J"ust "A"nother "W"eather "S"ervice). You can probably find one that has lockscreen and status bar options. Actually, I think Omnijaws has an app...

Look here - https://github.com/omnirom/android_packages_services_OmniJaws
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
*i have reviewed this address before.

*omnijaws have no idea how to apply api key
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Me neither... I submitted a request on Github page. I'll see if anything happens...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
Hey @ levone1

* Is there any information from Github?

* can you deal with it?:good:

* rom awesome only problem weather :confused:

* Thank you @ lovone1
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
So, it seems like what you do is get your weather api, and then use it with Omni code on Github to build a new apk that you can install as update. I haven't done that before, and I don't currently use any Linux computer on a regular basis, so I probably won't get around to messing with it any time soon. Maybe there will be an update released...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Try this. I pulled it from a new RR rom. Rom thread says it's working...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:

[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
Hello dears! I want to try this firmware but can't exactly figure out how to properly install, if you can describe the points. And how I understood it needs to be installed on 118 firmware? Sorry for the automatic translation.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
To start, flash CE1 .118 firmware from Flashtool. When done, don't turn the phone on, but use fastboot to flash this - https://mega.nz/#!14VkzCCB!GK-KEv0A-ZyhysXc1-IusyJjJEB-D5ZWOLm1DRt31tA, and also flash TWRP, (download here - https://dl.twrp.me/kugo/twrp-3.2.3-0-kugo.img.html). After that, turn on the phone, and go through setup, until you get to the home screen, then flash CE1_118_deodex, (link in first post). After that, flash eXistenZ latest version, then,

before you boot up

, flash the boot img that you downloaded before, again.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
Thank you, I will try. If you have any questions, I'll ask more.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Maybe everyone already knew about this, but I just found out that free-form window support works on XC, (at least on eXistenZ). Just type in terminal, (root, probably),

settings put global enable_free-form_support 1

and reboot. There will be a new icon on the top of the recent window for each application, (only in standard recents, not Slim). Tap on it, and move windows around how you want. I guess most people don't feel the need for it on smaller phones, but I find it pretty useful..
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
So I could not install the firmware, something apparently did not. What I did

1. Flashed boot 118 which you recommended to me.

2. Flashed TWRP, went into it, and immediately saw that he asks for a password, where he comes from I can not understand, pressed, cancel, entered into the recovery, flashed CE1_118_deodex, however, before the installation there were a few red lines about the fact that you can not mount data, apparently due to the fact that the password is set.The firmware flashed, the installation took 10 minutes, but after rebooting the system, it did not boot, stuck on the SONY logo, maybe a little waited, how much it should boot? Flashed then exz_v3.2_Xc, but the system never got.

Yes, if you format the data, the red lines no longer appear. Omni 9 is installed and loaded, and eXisten in any.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Don't bother with TWRP if you have stock kernel - Sony security won't let you do anything to your phone as-is. That's why I posted "...When done, don't turn the phone on, but use fastboot to flash this - https://mega.nz/#!14VkzCCB!GK-KEv0A-...5ZWOLm1DRt31tA," - then flash TWRP. The file in that link is a modified boot img that will allow you to modify your system.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
I have now installed 118 firmware, I need to install TWRP, flash CE1_118_deodex, and then what?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
No. Install 118 firmware, then flash modified boot image then flash TWRP
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
So, how much time it needs to load the firmware the first time?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Sorry, I think I misunderstood where you are at... The full instructions are in op:

1 - flash 118, don't turn the phone on

2 - power off, connect in fastboot and flash TWRP, then boot to TWRP and flash deodex zip. Turn on the phone and go through the setup until you get to the home screen

3 - power off, boot to TWRP, and flash eXistenZ zip. Don't turn the phone on yet. Now you will need to flash your modified boot img. If you have it copied on your phone, you can do it with TWRP. If not, unplug, then reconnect in fastboot mode, and use fastboot command.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
OK thanks, think I understand where I went wrong, I will try again.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] eymentuna:
hey levone1

*do I have the chance to make the photo clearer?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Possibly - I'm still mainly on Sailfish at the moment, but testing AOSP. I think it's probably just changing some color in SystemUI to #00000000... I'll take a look next time I'm back on eXistenZ. There are some apps these days that can modify apks without you having to use Apktool. Maybe you can try it out...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeaust:
Levone1, I must be doing something very wrong or the steps just aren't clear enough. What I have done:

I have downloaded the files in OP:

-CE1_118_deodex.zip

-deodex_118.zip

-exz_v3.2_Xc.zip

I have also downloaded the boot118.img file you mention further in the thread and I have downloaded the correct TWRP.

Now, I fastboot flash the TWRP to the recovery and boot into it. I wipe everything. No more data, encryption.. nothing.

This is where I'm already confused. What is CE1_110_deodex.zip vs deodex_118.zip? Do I flash CE1_110_deodex.zip first (is this the stock version?), then deodex_118.zip, or do I need to flash my device with a stock .118 via Xperifirm + Flashtool and then use one of those two files from the OP? If so, which one?

I'm assuming to flash CE1_118_deodex.zip + deodex_118.zip, but if I flash the boot118.img file before letting the system boot a first time, it's stuck at the SONY logo after which I have to restart everything again... If I flash it after a successful first boot and after flashing the exz_v3.2_Xc.zip via TWRP, it's stuck at the SONY logo.

Now I'm trying to flash deodex_118.zip again and hope the system boots, so I can troubleshoot it...

Mildly annoying, to say the least. Please tell me -step by step- what to do. I hope I'm not asking too much here, as others have gotten it to work. It's just that I have seen three or four different sequences and hate to lose a lot of time over it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kianush:
[MENTION=5455071]jeaust[/MENTION] it's actually quite obvious if you had read other pages , ce1 is based on Central europe region rom and the other one is based on usa rom, so what you need to do is that first flash a clean stock .118 rom (usa or ce1) with flashtool and then use one of the deodex zips in the op accordingly(usa or ce1) just be warned that fingerprint is blocked in usa rom.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
1) Flash stock 118

2) Flash deodex zip (if you want fingerprint support, flash CE1 version, [maybe good idea to choose the same version in Flashtool initially also

I don't know if it matters], If not, pick either one)

3) Boot the phone and go through setup until you get to the home screen

4) Power off, boot to recovery, and flash eXistenZ zip - don't turn the phone on

5) Flash a rootkernel-modified boot img for your phone. You can do this with fastboot, or restore from a backup in TWRP
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kianush:
there seems to be an issue somewhere, I flashed stock 118 with flashtool and the without booting i went straight to twrp and flashed deodex, after reboot, phone is bootlooping on sony logo over and over again...

it might be worth mentioning that i exluded fotakernel in flashtool so that twrp wouldnt be removed.

any ideas?

btw, can I flash exz zip on stock rom without flashing deodex? (of course with using modified boot.img), is it possible or no? and if yes, what would be the difference?

Edit: bootloop issue fixed by flashing boot.img right after flashing deodex.zip, you never mentioned that in OP
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
OK, I'll link your post for others to see. I didn't have to do that. The deodex zip contains nothing modified that should cause a bootloop, so it should work with the stock boot IMG. I wonder if it's an issue with a different region between the original flash and the deodex, (like flashing a US fw then the CE5 deodex)? Also it's always good to start from full wipe, (system and userdata) - userdata is often the cause of bootloops.

Note that you will still have to flash the boot.img again at the end, because eXistenZ zip will overwrite it.

I don't think eXistenZ will work with odex fw. Test and report if you want. All of the apks and jars in the eXistenZ zip are deodexed, so I would think that you would have to at least remove some odex/vdex/jars, etc, from /framework for it to work...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kianush:
Thanks for the answer, yes it might be because I flashed ce1_deodex on top of stock arabic .118 (because I didnt have ce1 .ftf at the time).

and yes I flashed my boot.img after exz too

I have faced several issues that I hope you could help me with,

- I applied a theme (i think voidblack or something else which has some orange lines) and systemui is crashing on and on and it has made the device unusable, can i somehow remove it or revert to stock theme without factory resseting??

- battery care crashes and doesnt work, maybe I could fix that by replacing with with stock batterycare app if I find it somewhere

-the 3min battery icon is persistent in the statusbar, is there anyway to remove it for good? I tried uninstalling the app from settings but the icon is still there! :l

- and safetynet doesnt pass! I tried turning magiskhide on and off and rebooting with no luck, it;s weired because the rom is actually stock! It could pass on Omni 9.0 but not here???!

the first one has got me blocked right now i need to find a way to revert to stock theme!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
- I have never had any problem with any theme. I tested all of the built-in ones, and several others, and always work fine. I guess maybe some other mod, (Xposed mod, maybe?), or some other file that was removed/modified causing the issue, or, if rom was flashed without userdata wipe, could be issue. If you want to deal with it as-is, delete the theme folder from /system/app, and reboot. But, I think it might be a sign of something that will give you other problems, so you might want to figure out what it is.

- Battery care issue has been addressed here. There is a working version here - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78365067&postcount=65 Just replace the file.

- 3 minit battery has a check box to enable or disable. When you first open the app, one of the check boxes is for show/hide mod. (sorry can't look at it at the moment, I'm using SailfishOS). If you have it unchecked, and it's still showing, probably related to the same SystemUI problem you have with the theme.

- Sorry, I don't know much about safetynet. Personally, I have MicroG installed, and I check the 'Google Safetynet' box, but I don't think I ever even looked at the Magisk options for it. [MENTION=5889003]eymentuna[/MENTION] - do you know about that?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kianush:
Well I ended up flashing the rom from the beginning and this time I did a full wipe with every possible check, Im gonna make a twrp backup before testing any theme just in case it goes crashin on me again.

about 3minit, this time i unchecked it and it worked, maybe last time there was an issue or maybe I dont remember checking or unchecking it...

and about saftynet, if it doesnt pass it means that magiskhide isnt actually working otherwise it will make the check pass, and it could pass the check when I was on stock rom(with root and busybox and modified boot.img) but now it doesnt for some reason, and i need it for my banking app to work...im gonna search a little and see if i can find a solution.

thanks for your help and [MENTION=811223]Niab[/MENTION]uc79 for the best stock based rom ever made in history of sony phones(or any brand!)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
Let me know about the safety net issue and I'll include the info in OP.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
So I installed everything from scratch just to test, since it has been so long that I couldn't really remember, and everything seems good. All themes working with no crash. Safety net screen shot attached, but I don't exactly know what it means... (I tested with Bank of America app and working)

I did flash boot img before booting, like you said.

Can anybody help me with flashing this beautiful rom.

Sryvim not goodcspeaking.

Im noob and not a professionel.

I have unlocked bootloader and dont now how which boot.img?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kianush:
Ok I backed it up and then tested everything out:

- All themes are working fine

- Both SafetyNet checks pass

So it seems the issue was I forgot to wipe everything the first time but this time I wiped everthing except microsd and usbotg and now everything is working!

And about safeteynet, to make it simple, magiskhide is used to hide root from apps that look for it to block you from using them if you are rooted

Then there is safetynet with checks that your device is legit and not rooted and is from an original brand.

So if the safetynet checks pass, it means that it's not finding out that you are rooted, so magiskhide is working as it must!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Murtie:
Please can you help me .

I am new with this phone and have unlocked the bootloader to flash this beautiful rom.

This is what i have doing:

Flashed a new fresh (with full wipe userdata and appslog) .ftf ( F5321_34.4.A.2.118_R2E_1305-7676.ftf ) benelux version. with flashtool.

But i dont no what is the next step.

Must i flash this boot118 .img ? https://mega.nz/#!14VkzCCB!GK-KEv0A-ZyhysXc1-IusyJjJEB-D5ZWOLm1DRt31tAand then twrp 3.2.3?

Please . :(

im using translate so dont speak so good
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
I don't know what benelux is, but the next thing to do is to flash the deodex zip from first post. There are 2 of them, pick one. CE5 has fingerprint support, but I don't know how it would be affected by flashing it over fw from a different region, (might be totally fine). Then flash the boot img, then boot the phone and go through setup process, then flash eXistenZ.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
What exactly 118 stock firmware should be flashed, give a link, sew the one that I have, does not load after the deodex firmware, hangs on the Sony logo.

Sorry, the question is removed, slightly changed the sequence, the firmware has loaded.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Murtie:
Oke thanks but i think im doing something wrong maybe.

This is my steps:

1. First i clean flashing the .ftf file with flashtool. ( when it is done i flash directly the twrp3.2.3 without starting the phone) Is this correct ?

2.Now i flashing the deodexed CE1_118_deodex . ( without any wipes )

3.When its done then i flash this boot.img directly > https://mega.nz/#!14VkzCCB!GK-KEv0A-ZyhysXc1-IusyJjJEB-D5ZWOLm1DRt31tAand

4. But now when i starting then its stuck on Sony logo and bootloop :(

Please help what im doing wrong :(
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] mister-13x:
Try this, after flashing 118 and TWRP go to Wipe-Advanced wipe, put the check on the /data, the swipe.

Restart the phone again in TWRP recovery, do Wipe /dalvik /cache /system / data
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] Murtie:
thanks im trying now :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods] levone1:
You have to do this order :

1 - flash stock 118 with full wipe

2 - flash deodex zip

3 - flash boot img

4- reboot and go through phone setup until you get to the home screen, (also let it reboot for 'network optimization' - you will get a popup message about it after setup)

5 - power off and boot to twrp and flash eXistenZ, (making sure to flash the boot img again before you boot)

It doesn't matter when you flash twrp, as long as it's there when you need it.
