[Q] Calls only mode? Turn notification sounds off? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I sometimes have to be "on-call" throughout the night when sleeping. I therefore need to be reachable by phone.
I do not however want alerts from facebook, youtube, whatsapp, eBay etc going off in the night.
Is there an app that can turn all notifications off and just leave phone calls on? Its an effort to go to settings>apps>turn off notifications from each app only to have to turn them on the next day when I wake up.
I dont mind having the flashing l.e.d. or the visual indication on the top bar, I just dont want to hear the alert.

Ok first thing that you have to do is root your phone
After that install xposed framework from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
after installing it open xposed installer on your phone ,then in framework click on install/update after that reboot your phone
then go back into xposed installer click on download and search for ringer notification volume unlink ,download and install it then go back to modules in xposed installer and enable this by pressing on the tick mark
and then reboot your phone
After all this go to settings then in sounds you will find different volume slider for ringer and notifications

A haaaaaaaa ! Thanks very much.
One more thing, I had to downgrade to 4.2.2 to root, but I quite liked 4.3. I read a lot of people upgraded to 4.3 and then couldnt root their phones or lost pre-existing roots. Is there any way around this ?

they are almost the same but in existenz you can get a black version
recovery means cwm or twrp recovery
first install a recovery on your phone
then download the rom and flash it via recovery
and please use the search button to find the recovery in the forum

I have given up on this, it will now be a project for a different day when I have more time to read into it.
Now if I try to update to 4.3 I get "could not install new software version. Try again"
What is the process for restoring the phone back to factory settings. Is it a clean flash I need to do?

[Q] Can't Modify Xperia T (LT30a)

So I've rooted it, I've downloaded CWM Backup Manager, ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox Lite, Root Browser, & X-Parts, and no matter what I do, I'm unable to add any mods. I check off the Backup Existing ROM & Wipe Data and Cache, then click Reboot And Install. it reboots, but nothing changes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2262268 This is the mod I'm trying to do, I've gone to do the QR code & it downloads properly, but I just can't get it to install.
I'm a total noob, it's embarrassing. I'm sorry if this isn't in the right place, or if this has been posted already, but I haaave done a bit of research trying to figure this out, but I haven't been able to find out what I'm doing wrong.
The build number is 9.1.A.11.40

I don't know what the issue is. I'll select the tweak I want to make, it'll ask me if I want to reboot into recovery & I select all the necessary things. It'll ask for superuser permission, which I grant, then it'll turn off, then turn back on, but nothing will have changed. Am I missing a step?

I've been trying to find out how to do that, actually, but everyone is saying different things :s I power off the phone, turn it back on, then I hold the power up button?
read the all in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section.
Post 2 will be especially relevant to you.
In brief
Have you installed recovery? If so, power up and keep pressing the volume up button (Press and let go and press and let go...) if the phone just boots up then you have not installed recovery yet.
I have CWM Backup Manager, ROM Manager, & ROM Toolbox Lite installed. Is there a separate recovery app that I'd need to install? Right now I'm letting it go through & fix all the permissions, see if that changes things.

Its not an app, its flashed to a partition on your phone...You can uninstall all those apps then look for "Recovery for locked bootloaders" thread in the dev section and install that.
Alternatively, if you have (Or can) unlock your bootloader then just flash a custom kernel (Stock based, I recommend doomkernel, but there are others) and that will have recovery incorporated in it.
As I say, Post 2 and 3 of the all in one thread is a very good place to start reading.
Awesome, thank you so much I just didn't know what/where I should be looking for. Again, I apologize for the noobishness. But thanks for your help!
I'm having difficulties flashing it to my phone :s I download the file, extract it & put into the phone's internal storage. I run the install.bat file, but it keeps telling me that, "The system cannot find the path specified." I'm using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738 which I found in the all in one thread. I feel like I'm missing something obvious & I understand it must be painful to watch this, but I have no idea what step I'm missing.

dual recovery is the "recovery" for your device. you can wipe data, cache,dalvik and etc on in. and using it, you can make nandroid backups, flash mods, and other fun stuff. To access it, turn you phone off. Then turn it back on, be ready because it should flash a GREEN led light suddenly, once it lights up click either up or down volume until the color changes. Down volume = TWRP, Up volume = Philz touch I THINK. not sure with the up volume. i use TWRP for backups and mods and roms.
Thanks

Root Z1. KitKat 4.4.X
Hello everybody!
I am a new member here and i would like to share how i root my Xperia Z1 (C6903) KitKat 4.4.4. Version 14.4.A.0.108 with
stock Firmware and locked bootloader.
So, i have tried to root my phone with different flashtools, installed drivers etc etc but no luck. Finally i came over this page;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
First: I disabled any antivirus, malwareprogram it can give a false viruswarning and remove the file. I extracted the program Newroot to my desktop (How to find the program see above link).
On the phone: I went to settings/about the phone, scrolled down to the bottom to: Version, tapped version several times (for me 7 times) and a popup comes up and say you are now a developer. Now i set the developer options to ON and enabled USB-debugging. As default i also have enabled installation from unknown resources and unchecked the box Verifying apps. (Settings/SecurityUnknown resources/Verifying apps).
Now, I connected my phone to the PC with the USB-cable. Started the program Newroot from desktop, in the popup of the program i see that option "Check this to root your phone" is set by default. Now i just hit proced button and the rooting started, kept an eye on my phone and the phone rebooted. That was all and i had rooted phone with the superuser app in the apps section! :victory:. For some users first root does not work properly. If not sure you have completely root, check root with: Check Root. You can find it on Google store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avaranasoftware.checkroot
If there is any error-messages, or if it says that busybox is not installed, use the Newroot program again to Unroot the phone instead. After unroot use Newroot program again to Root your phone. After reboot check again with Check Root, now everything should be fine. and both superuser app and busybox should be installed.
Good luck!
Note: Above is only a description of how i successfully rooted my phone. So i don´t take any responsibility for any eventual problems for others who root their phone.
Huge thanks to munjeni for this awesome program! :highfive:

So if i unroot the phone first, and then access recovery mode and choose that option, will it be the same as factory reset and i can use warranty of the phone if needed?

If you unroot the phone you will lose recovery.
If you want to unroot the easiest way is just to flash a stock FTF using flashtool.
And rooting does not void the warranty, only unlocking the bootloader does that

Now a couple of days i used the Newroot tool. I have installed some utilities with functions that requires root. Root Manager app says i have the Clockworkmod and most functions in that program does not work, and Titanium backup pro complains that my CVM- Superuser program can cause some functions to work improperly, and i should update my binaries to SuperSU for the program to work properly.
I installed SuperSU and in recoverymode i got the question if i wanted to "install the untrusted SuperSU Zip and this can not be undone". I chose no because i was not sure what could happen so i reboot the phone and after that i was not rooted anymore, i checked with root checker and my programs that requires root did not function. So i rooted the phone again with Newroot and i got root again and all problems were gone, root access was granted to all programs that required root, except for root manager...
So i googled about Clockworkmod and that mod is rarely used for the Z1-model, most used for Samsung and HTC.
So i wonder if i backup all my data via PC-Companion, can i choose "repair the phone" and it will turn back the phone to it´s original state?
Or do i have to flash the phone myself with a stock rom? I have search for my stock rom everywhere and i cannot find it. But with PC-Companion is it possible to return the phone to it´s original state?

Successfully returned it to factory state. Pressed *#*#7378423#*#* and checked, and everything is exactly as it was when i was rooted, so i assume the Newroot prog did nothing to my phone except for rooting it and installed recovery?
Anyway, maybe i will root my phone again now when i know it is possible to turn it back to stock to get the benefits from root.
Huge thanks gregbradley you made my day! :good: :victory:
No worries.
Yes the newroot process only roots the phone, it does nothing to the bootloader

[Video Guide] Installing TWRP Custom Recovery (D415)

Hey, my friends of the L90 Discussion Forums.
I know there was already a previously made text guide for this, but since some people like visuals, I made a quick video tutorial for it.
All the instructions and download links are in the description of the video. I'll paste them here just if you are too lazy to get the YouTube video open from the YouTube site.
Here's the video:
(Sorry for any wording mess-ups I made. I'm a better script/speech writer than I am a presenter.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGM-TtlRbM
__
I did not originally come up with how to get the bootloader. Credit to Quarx from XDA and his friends at 4pda.ru.
Ok, So, here are the instructions if you did not find it clear enough from the video, and got your **** stuck in a ceiling fan:
Requirements:
1. Root (Use Towelroot)
2. Terminal app (I used an app called Android Tuner Pro. Remember to enable SU when installing Recovery and rebooting or it may not work)
3. twrp.img - http://bit.ly/1IZ2BRn - download from google drive
Instructions:
1. Ensure that your phone is rooted.
2. Download and move twrp.img to internal sdcard (/sdcard)
3. Open up terminal app, ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SU ENABLED, and type in this command:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
3.5. If the command works, it should take a few seconds and it will say "11 MB has been transferred in so and so seconds"
4. After that, type in:
reboot recovery
It should then reboot into the newly installed TWRP recovery. Wait now, Why isn't anything working when I touch it? Well, TWRP has a small error that doesn't recognize touches the first time around, so wait till the screen times out after 60 seconds, turn the screen back on, and unlock. Then it should be usable. Remember to change the screen timeout to 15 if you don't want to wait.
There you go, that should be about it.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for damage done to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

I have not tried flashing any ROMs or anything yet on it.
Also, I found a key combination, which is exactly the one you said. Problem is, the guide I read it from said you need to go through with the Erase Phone and whatever, and then it will load your recovery, but I'm not risking what I've done so far just to try to get into Recovery.
Instead, I made a small app that uses the Shell and Root to simply perform a reboot into Recovery by the press of a button.

There's just a button in the middle of the screen that says "Boot into Recovery".
It requests Superuser so that it can run the shell command "reboot recovery".

Is it possible to switch to another Superuser app? I don't think I saw any support for this Superuser app from ChainsDD when I installed it. The only thing that interests me is that it has OTA Survival. I guess that means it will survive an OTA update.

Yeah, I do believe there should be, mostly, ability to switch root apps.
Is it safe to flash CM11 once you have recovery? Would that take erase towel root and root access somehow and then TWRP along with it? Or would TWRP recovery survive?
I am unsure. I am the kind of guy that enjoys Stock so I've never bothered to flash anything. Best off asking someone who is a heavy flasher and active user.

Towel root is only used for the rooting process, it can be deleted once you install supersu and busybox, or like you want flash a custom rom, any thing is safe oto do once you have a custom recovery as long as you follow op's directions on flashing their rom. Always read directions and as much info as can first. Recovery will always be safe unless you flash a kdz with lg flash tool which is used to completely return to stock, recovery, system and all. Also always back up while in recovery before flashing. Its always good to have back up stock rom, or any roms you like in case you decide to switch back or between them.

What does busybox do? I installed it and every time I open the app it says "Smart Install is loading ...You may go ahead and install Busybox or wait for Smart Install to finish loading". There are boxes to tick under "Smart Install" that can only be used in the PRO edition. The boxes are: "Enable Smart Install", "Replace All (Symlinks all)", and "Clean Mode". I don't know what these options do, but from the reviews I've read the PRO edition can break WIFI and even break the phone. If I do buy the PRO edition, and I flash CM11, it would wipe out the app. Would I have to buy it all over again from the play store?

Just open the app and click install once rooted and supersu binarys are install. Rooted apps use the commands and things busy box installs to run. Never had an issue with it, like said just hit install and leave the app on the phone for updates. When you install a custom rom they're s already built in, really only use for rooting the stock rom.

Never used it, also to tell you the truth im not rooted st the moment, i went to stock to tske the 10e update and there no method as of now to root it, i could go back to 10c but i found that the update was improved on handling ram, that was the only reason i used a custom rom for a while. Once thetes a root method i may go back.

Those who doing xposed app can't be arsed doing anything ..
Maybe supporting Samsung only ?
To be honest there is nothing interesting anyway..
I have it done I successesfully installed xposed on my P7. But I had to disable some processes they causes a bootloop...
But after disabling those processes some important functions won't work anymore...
There is no status bar anymore and no keys. So if you are in an app, you can't go back cause there is no key to go back or to homescreen...
So I successesfully installed xposed but I can't use my mobile phone anymore :/
So we have to wait.
If you want I could post a logcat.
Sorry for my bad English :/
Could you please give instructions how you exactly installed it anyways? I'd really like to try.

1. Root your phone of course
2. Flash TWRP Recovery (2.8.7.0)
3. Do a full backup with TWRP, I had at the beginning a lot of bootloops so I need to recover my backup very often...
4. Start your phone normally and download an alternativ Launcher e.g. Nova Launcher
5. Go to Terminal Emulator (or some other app)
5.1 Type:
- "su"
- "pm disable com.huawei.android.launcher"
- "pm disable com.android.keyguard"
- "pm disable com.android.systemui"
6. Reboot your phone into Recovery Mode.
7. Flash the latest zip (I tried with v75) => Clear Cache an Dalvik Cache
8. Now your phone should reboot without bootloop
9. You have NO "BACK-Buttton" or "HOME-Buttton" so if you want to exit an app you need to reboot your phone!
If something went wrong recover your backup
Information:
If you are not disabeling those three processes your phone will be in a bootloop.
I hope this will help you but if you have an idea how to get it working, tell me

To make short, after root, you install the apk joined, and you can disable and convert any apps in your phone
it's easy to use.
you can desable Hw launcher from it ( and enable if you want ) ...
for me to test some other launchers and make them default, i have to desable Hw launcher.
Now for desabling " com.android.systemui ", ofcourse you will have no navbar, and bootloop, what is the utility if you can't use your phone ?

I know, but mudk1pz wants to know how I did it.
I know that if I am disabeling the systemui process, there will be no navigation bar anymore.
But you are not completely right, only if you are not disabeling one of those processes your phone will stuck in a bootloop.
So if you have some ideas what to change so we don't have to disable those processes, tell us
In my first post, I already wrote that if you are installing xposed on your phone you can't use your anymore
Thank you. But is it possible to navigate still by gestures? Because I am using gmd gesture control and have disabled the nav bar on purpose. So is this method still usable after disabling all these?

Yeah! Thank you soo much! It work perfectly
v75 is working if you are disabeling the following processes
- com.huawei.android.launcher (use instead e.g. Nova Launcher)
- com.android.keyguard
- com.android.systemui (Use GMD Gestues for NavBar)
Only Problem, you don´t have a lockscreen...
If you have any questions tell me
I would really like to try but I am afraid of losing data. Is there a way beside cwm backup to save the data? My cwm backup is not working anymore.

If you want to try it, install TWRP. CWM may cause some issue.
TWRP backup work for me. But you can also try Nandroid backup.
Btw do you have root or an unlocked bootloader?
How do I do a Nandroid backup? I tried it and it worked but I have to have the statusbar. Do you know a way how to get it?
I have an unlocked bootloader and root.
I uninstalled it now.
I would recommend to use an external lock screen out of the playstore to solve this problem.
But without statusbar daily use is not possible for me. I tried to install busy box and it not even recognised xposed.

I never worked with Nandroid backup, I just know it as an alternative to the recovery backup.
Just flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 version with adb/fastboot. There you can do the full backup. I don't know if it's really working if you flash it with cwm.
But before you start flashing xposed pleas do a backup, trust me. I learned it on a hard way... I lost all data. If you get once in a bootloop you are happy if you know that you have a backup.
I don't know how to get the statusbar back. The statusbar is the same like the navbar... You disabled systemui process, so it won't work.
The next few days I have no time to try something out, but if you fix the problem post it
Maybe the next version of xposed will work without disabling those three processes.

Did you really chose the correct framework version? From what you are telling us, it seems that you flashed the wrong version. For Samsung devices with TouchWiz, you need a special version of Xposed. Search for "Xposed Samsung wanam" and you might find your answer.
By the way, it is also required to wipe cache&dalvik after flashing Xposed.

The screen turns black but I can still hear sounds from the buttons.

Seems that you have issues with your current ROM. I would suggest to re-flash the stock ROM or flash a custom ROM without flashing Xposed, then reboot your device. If no issue occurs, reboot to recovery again and flash Xposed again.
