[Q] How to have theme like z3 - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I have XSP pure stock .205, what I need to do to have themes like Z3 with new battery icon on status bar(notification bar) and new navigation bar? I found some themes on market but it said it needs to be rooted, so Its all i got to do, just root my SP and install that themes and it will look like i have KK with all that good looking icons? Thanks.
P.S. I didnt get the answer on help forum so I posted here.

Normally that's the only thing I think Root ur phone and then go to market or here on xda, there are also lots of themes often with instructions !

Ok, thanks, because I read something like I need some xposed mode or something like that, and I am not good at all that things, not sure even how to root it, I think there is some app and I just click root, if i get it right, and than install SuperSU ( I guess i need that app for something)

To root my SP on stock I use towelroot (download tr.apk from official website by clicking on logo). It's one click et voila, root! Then you can install these other things sure! Xposed is a little more difficult, but there would be tutorials that are very well explained how to do it I don't know how to port xposed to your device, but there are many stock roms who have it pre-installed!
Hope I helped you

when i was on stock .205 i tried to use a z2 theme just like u.
Rooted with towelroot but when i tried to install xposed i had bootloop, so dont try it..
Try xposed in custom rom.
Btw you can find xposed here

Xposed - Someone installed it?

Just received my brand new Z3,but already feeling the itch for some customization.
Someone already tried playing around with xposed?
It is fully working or at least some features?
Thanks
After rooting/bootloader unlocking the phone, I installed Xposed. It works well. I use the following:
App Settings - I made systemUI (and most of my non-sony apps) 240 dpi.
GravityBox (smaller nav bar, orange icons, replacement battery, AM/PM removal, 3 dot on nav bar right, search on nav bar left.
Tinted Status bar
Xperia Xposed - installed but I decided not to use anything
Please note, per conversations on general, unlocking the bootloader will irreversibly worsen the camera's low-light picture quality and kill native miracasting/chromecasting ability linked to Sony's DRM keys
I'm using tons of Xposed modules and I couldn't live without it. It's one of the greatest pieces of software ever written and I'll stay away from Android L until Xposed works on it. i never felt the urge to use CM or another rom since I'm using Xposed, GravityBox alone is such a mighty module that it replaces a plethora of third party rom features.
It's really hard to live without Xposed after having it for so long on my Moto X. I'm just not willing to lose the camera quality by unlocking the BL. Of course, there are other things I'm itching to do as well with root (like freezing and deleting lots of useless apps that suck battery!)
I am using xposed with
- xstana module
- tinted status bar
- gravity box
Everything works perfectly!

I don't mind losing some of the camera quality either, I believe that people will either find a way to reverse the process, or make something better.
I'm just waiting till I can backup my TA partition.

I istalled Xposed and run xled, xquiet hours and cyan lock screen the lose of the cameras low light abilty is not a big problem i use camera fv5 and change the iso settings
So no way in hell to get root without unlocking the bootloader?
i was using pie controls from gravitybox with navbar disabled, but i found out that pie doesn't appear when using camera with physical button with phone in standby.... anyone can confirm this?
I use XBlast and Xposed LED Control.
Both works fine. What does NOT work is GravityBox. But why? Can someone help me?
When trying to start it, it says "GravityBox System Framework does not answer" in german. in english perhaps its something like "cant retrieve System Framework data" or something like that.
It doesn matter how often i try, always the same error message

You need to enable it in Module and restart phone. After that you can do what you want! In Download section, you can find more module with search filter by typing: xperia

I think gravity Box can not handle sonys ui. Had it before on lg g2 stock rom. Just some features worked. Keep in mind that gb is actually for vanilla kitkat(aosp,maybe cm)
GB worked fine for me on the Z1C, but eventually some features require a deodexed rom. I've always been using RomAur.

I did not mean you have to enable xposed installer. I said: you have to enable GravityKK module by tick the box, do nothing more, restart the phone first. After that you can config without any framework message error!
xposed works great

and its workign great!

Yes and as i said, i used Xposed before. what i want to say with that is : I know how Xposed works and how to use it. I know that you have to "activate" modules with the checkbox.
still, GB won't work.

question on xposed framework?

Will the xposed framework work on a root android one phone? Specifically the gravity box mod? Has someone installed the xposed framework on a stock android one rom?
My phone is kind of a daily driver, so just checking to see if some one already has done this and their experience if any.

It works perfect. I've been using the gravity box mod for quite a few days now and it works extremely well without any issues. I'm using stock android one ROM and have faced no issues so far.

Thanks guys. Based on feedback went ahead and rooted stock ROM. Got xposed installed and gravity box running.
Did not loose data as I did not unlock boot loader. So app data remained, which is what I wanted.
Overall, I would recommend anyone with this phone to go with xposed framework.
What are the other modules that you guys are finding helpful apart from gravity box?

Ex kitkat themer is another great module for getting better UI . Then there are others like xprivacy Bluetooth unlock toolkit android tuner (this one is an app and module combined in one) and is very useful . These are the ones i can remember now . Scroll through the list to discover others that you need. Hope this helped

Yes I did. Flashing the zip through recovery gets my phone stuck at boot animation and I have to restore a backup to get the phone back to normal.

There are tools to hide super user for banking apps etc. You can try them, maybe it works.

I didn't try any xposed module or app to hide root but it seems that it doesn't work for users who tested that. People talk about "magisk" but i never test this and i don't sure how install it.
Finally i achieve to install magisk and it works perfectly!

I use magisk with bliss and it works so i didn't try rootcloak, but i don't achieve to unroot nuclearom in order to flash magisk. Any advice?

Installing magisk

Hello,
Using Z3compact with Xperience Rom v10 (customized latest sony firmware) which is rooted (supersu) and xposeed installed (v83).
I want to ask, how to do it:
1) uninstall supersu app and xposeed app
2) flash magisk
thats all?

Sounds too simple, doesn't it? :laugh:
That really is all there's to it... You could probably keep your Xposed installation, but there are some nice systemless Xposed modules available for Magisk.
I have seen a few reports of users struggling a little with some Sony devices though, so make sure you have a backup before starting.

No you can't.

Can I trick an app into thinking i gave her premissions? (no root)

I have an app which asks for permission to my contacts in order to start. (She is installed but won't work until ill give her the permission for my contacts).
Is there any way to make her think she has Permissions to my contacts without giving her?
Or to hide the real contacts so she won't be able to see them?
I looked around and saw Xprivacy but I have no root so is there any other option?
Thank You
Deleted?

That app is a big no-no here on xda, so i suggest you edit your post and remove it.
Can you provide more details, like your device and your android version? Xprivacy works up to marshmallow, if you're on Nougat you can try xposed extension protect my privacy, but i think it requires root too.
Since your have xposed installed, why don't you install root? I'm assuming you have a custom recovery to flash xposed so root should not be an issue.

Sorry, but I've seen your post in the xposed general forums, so i assumed you were looking for a n xposed related solution.
I do remember an app that used to decompile and recompile apks while removing permission requirement, but that was old and i can not remember the exact name, maybe try an app that gives you access to appOps on your rom to control access from there?

That app is considered warez/promotes cracking other apps, so it's against xda rules
