[APP] Shared app, Dual Master Key Fix(Xposed) - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Just sharing if nobody have heard of it yet.
An app was released recently to fix the security vulnerability on our Android phones. In case you're bothered by that vulnerability, and you happen to have Xposed framework already installed, you may install this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365294 then activate it in Xposed. Many thanks to dev @Tungstwenty. His app is actually available also in Play Store -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tungstwenty.xposed.masterkeydualfix
Before and after when checked by SRT app scanner.

I already patched, without using this
XD
Confirmed by using Bluebox
Using 9.1.B.1.67
And no malicious app or firmware too, using SRT
XD
How about you ?

Are you using this patch Rycon ?
Yes, I can see TiB is malicious app ?

Yes I'm using it, the patch is for the master key and the two mentioned bugs. Then the SRT scanner I used only to confirm if the patch works, and it does really work. I don't mind what other apps the scanner is declaring as malicious or not.

Sorry Rycon, I have already see your screenshot
Actually, TiB not malicious app, since you have paid app, that cannot scanning correctly
SRT already said that

Ofc tibu is not malicious, it only cannot be read by scanner.
And we're not concern with that, the important thing is the patch works in containing the two mentioned bugs. Look at the before and after screenshot, before - vulnerable, after - secure for the two bugs(with number names)
Again, the patch is the "dual master key fix" app and then you can use any scanner to determine if the patch worked.

Unofficial CM 10.2 for Xperia Z (C6603)

Unofficial, no warranty, express or implied. Not final, nothing to do with the CM people, not backed by them, not made by them, may cause corruption of innocent kittens if used irresponsibly. I am posting this only because the main CM sources are not perfect right now for building for Qualcomm devices just yet, and need some tweaks in new branches.
CM 10.2 Android 4.3 built for, and working on C6603 International Xperia Z, once again thanks to Sony using such nice, open-source-friendly devices.
Working:
WiFi
Compass + sensors
Sound
Bluetooth
Front + Rear Camera
External SD
Not Working:

This is for the International C6603. Other devices at your risk. Build is for yuga, if that tells you whether it will work or not

Not sure if this is just a one-time release ROM but I've been using it for roughly a week and have no major issues, except for the occasional freeze. Oh sometimes the browser flickers too while typing characters in the "omnibar".

Yes. You need to first change the Root Access option under Developer options to Apps and ADB. Seems to reset Superuser permissions.

Well I updated the script with the changes/additions iJo09 posted with the exception of the build.prop since I've modified mine beyond what iJo09 mentioned and doubt many other people would want the changes. It flashed alright and my phone booted, but I haven't tested beyond that yet since it's late.

Hardware keys order

Hey all!
just received my z3 compact after years of being sammy boy
first i must say this device rock..
is there anyway to change the hardware buttons layout ? to be more like the galaxy buttons ? back on the right and last apps on the left ?
or its possible only on custom roms ?
Those aren't hardware keys but soft keys (the navigation bar) AFAIA the order can only changed when the phone is rooted, with Xposed for example.

I came from the world of Samsung too, and Blackberry before that, so yeah...I think the back key belongs on the right as well.
But yeah, you do have to root to change it. To me, this and the other options Xposed gives me are more than worth the slight loss in camera quality from the bootloader unlock. I mean, look how nice this is....
damn... Now that you lost those drm ****ties, you think you will be able to restore them ? i think im gonna root my device aswell (b)

Yeah, I used the root method in DooMLoRD's bootloader unlock thread.
I haven't tried every camera app on the market, but I haven't found any yet that can match the stock Sony camera, even crippled. To be honest, it still takes fantastic pictures most of the time. It's only crippled when you're shooting in low light without flash, which I don't really do that often.
But even more important than that, I can't live without Xposed modules. So no, I'm not worrying about the DRM keys.
(And no, there will be no way to restore them.)

[Root] Xperia E1 - Enable Lockscreen Widgets

Due to the Xperia E1 having only 512MB RAM, Sony added a line inside build.prop that disables some features in Android so that the phone won't be running slow. If we change the value of the line from true to false, it will re-enable the disabled features and lockscreen widgets will come back.
Steps:
1. Download an advanced file manager from Play Store (Root Browser)
2. Go to /system and open build.prop with the text editor.
3. Search for the line
Code:
ro.config.low_ram=true
4. Change the value 'true' to 'false'
Code:
ro.config.low_ram=false
5. Reboot

I tried to set stuff in build.prop, but it still did not work, so I believe it is some kind of software bug, or Sony added something else ( a security certificate thing or something ) that disable the options.

That's very unfortunate to hear. Did you do it with Root Browser, or were you using something else? I myself have tried editing build.prop with Root Explorer but it did not work. Root Browser seems to work correctly, or you can also do it using adb push\pull.

I tried to set stuff in build.prop, but it still did not work, so I believe it is some kind of software bug, or Sony added something else ( a security certificate thing or something ) that disable the options.

No there is no security certificate or software bug. do you use the the single sim (D2005, D2004) or dual sim (D2105, D2104) variant of the e1?
for me it's working

I have a D2005 with 20.0.A.1.21 right now (reinstalled JB for reasons) but this was working last time on 20.1.A.2.13.

Okay then it can be a bug on jelly bean. I can not test now because I can not make a backup of my KitKat firmware. otherwise I would now switch to the Jelly Bean firmware

The Lockscreen bug only occurs in KitKat, JB is fine. They rushed KK fast on this phone. I regret that day when I bought this phone.
VPN does not work either. Sony does not release Device tree, nor add AOSP support for this phone, so we can't fix it ourselves.
How many devices are affected by this bug please? My E3 on the new 4.4.4 version does not have this issue for example.

Only the Xperia E1 with KitKat has this issue. They decided to just quickly make the KK for the E1 and didn't care about the bugs (most likely).

There was an updated 4.4.2 build the .14 that states to improve camera stability in a members post. Does anyone know if the screen lock bug is still present. Sony developer world Emma is only flashing the 20.1.A.2.13 build number on unlocked bootloader devices at the moment, however it's advising that the first 4.4.2 .47 build is the latest available version whenever it checks for new updates. I have not seen a 20.1.A.2.14 ftf file for xperia flasher yet.

Using XperiFirm you can get any of the firmwares you wish. And no, all the firmwares are buggy. Even the Dual versions. Also it's not just the lockscreen bug, it's VPN and overall system stability that's broken.

I have not seen that normally a link to Google drive is posted for example that allows you to download an ftf file of the new build. Not many appear to use Sony Emma, or discussions are low on using this tool.
I was trialing a Z3 style unlock screen and got stuck without been able to get the swipe to Unlock option back. I had to use the philz recovery that K4sh provided for forum E1 users to get back to normal.

If you want to get Swipe to unlock back, you can just simply sync your phone with your Google account (gmail), set up a pattern, go to lockscreen, type in pattern wrong 5 times, select Forgot pattern, type in your creditnals, then exit out from the thing that appears. Then lock the device and see for yourself.

So there are workarounds but no current fix.
Is XperiaFirm another program tool or a site? I have visited the sony developer world site, however it does not seem to have any ftf files for the Xperia flasher.

XperiFirm is a tool for downloading Xperia phones' firmwares, even from different countries. It downloads FILESETS or if unpacked by the tool, ftf contents which can be put together in Flashtool to an ftf file, then flashed to your device.
I sent an email regarding issues with the KitKat build to Sony, though I don't think they will care.
I tried but ist it's not working

Try writing ro.config.low_ram=false to the bottom of the file, then reboot and check Settings.
What tool did you use to edit the file?
