radio fm
Not for me !

Hey thanks for the latest release.
I currently have Slim-4.4.2.build.5.4_LBL-UNOFFICIAL-20140527 installed on my sp.
Do I need to wipe data/factory reset before update to the newest version or can I directly install it from the zip thru CWM?

Am getting google play services error after updating google play music app.
Can someone tell what is the meaning of the error and the fix?

Which gapps do you use?
I met a play service issue, due to bad download of the gapps...
To answer to kwstas, in slimroms, root must be enabled in dev options, root access: apps & adb
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------
In my case, i'm meeting 2 issues. I want to ask before flashing again: does anyone have the network mode tile? I have the LTE one, but can't find the 2g/3g one...
Also, am i the only one facing problem to access the external sd? It is shown in storage menu, but can't find it in root browser..

I had installed the slim normal gapps provided with the v5.4 ROM.
Didn't have any problem till today when I updated the play music app.
One more question...
Am currently on the v5,4 slim ROM. Do I need to clear data/factory reset or can I directly update to the new version?

Slim team always recommend to wipe at least system partition, cache & dalvik!
And don't forget to download the new gapps package

Help please
How did you solve the art problem (optimizing at every boot) ?
If you will tell me, can i implement it to any kitkat rom on Xperia SP ? (Most ROMS have that problem)

Thanks will install the new gapps after updating..
Sorry for so many questions.. Am new to this... Wiping system partition would wipe all the apps that I have currently installed right?

Nope, apps are deleted when you wipe data partition.
No worries for the questions, as you're in the right place
Just a warning, as you'll gap between 5.4 and 8.8, it's possible to meet some issues. If you have some problems, i recommend you to full wipe and flash again before reporting anything.

I installed the ROM after doing a full wipe. The ROM is very nice
I too didn't have the network mode after flashing. But I was able to add in the options. When we long press on the settings icon it gives the options to add the new tiles.
About the storage am not able to see the internal SD in the file explorers. Only the external SD card. Although in settings->storage both are visible. I guess this ROM only uses the external SD card as internal to install the apps and everything. OP has mentioned this post. Is there any way to use the internal memory also?

Ok. So i'm the only one to access to my internal instead of my external sd... Weird!
I fladhed back 8.2 yesterday because all my music is on my external one...
I'll try to flash last build later in the day...

I can't access internal storga? How can i fix that? is that rom only uses extenal storage like internal?
[noob question] And how to deodexed and super mod this rom? i used xperia z3 launcher but it couldn't change the icon and can i install z3 app like calendar, message?

CWM freezes at data wipe
Hi!
I've just downloaded this SlimKat ROM, but at the very beginning of the installation, in CWM, the screen freezed when it was wiping data.
The last lines were:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
And now I can't do anything, it's like this for 45-50 minutes now, my phone doesn't react to any buttons or swiping on the screen.
Could anyone help, please?
EDIT:
Problem solved. It seems, I had to wait for a nice 65 mins for CWM to complete. Now everything works just fine, ROM installed correctly.

SP upgrade
Kedves Bagyusz,
1 hónapja próbálom összelapátolni a C5303-as Xperia SP-mhez (T-Mobile) a cuccokat, hogy 4.4.4-et tudjak telepíteni, de valami mindíg túl új vagy túl régi, így soha nem sikerül.
Kérlek küldj nekem telepítőket/linkeket, hogy össz tudjam rakni a csomagot a telepítéshez.
Köszönettel Ákos!

I advise you to use TWRP, it is much faster!

Hello. I'm new to this rom. I actually just flashed the latest release a few moments ago and I feel like I'm satisfied already. Anyway, do we have the screen recorder on the rom already? I can't seem to find it. I'll be back in a few days for a full detailed feedback. I'm almost certain performance won't fail me. What I'm worried about is battery life. I always find custom roms' battery life needs improvements.

I have a problem with Su binary update and installing xposed framework ..
can any one help ??

Thank you so much for this post! I will take this chance to post a couple of questions:
I got MIUI 4.11.28 on my Sony Xperia Z1 (6903). I've installed WSM 2.3.6, after flashing and wiping the 4.11.28 MIUI ROM, because I updated from a previous version.
WSM seems like its working but actually it isn't! On the log of "Framework section", it says "Dexspy found, but it seems to be inactive. Common binaries will be used."
I found previous posts here that mention the same log output but I couldn't find a solution for that.
Also, my device freezes itself from time to time (6~12 hours) and reboots. Even if screen is locked.
Could you give me a hand about this? Thanks!

It is possible for the MIUI to freeze and reboot for now. Because it is based on the official firmware. It is impossible for MIUI auto patch to patch everything perfectly. You know MIUI stop updating MIUI V5 from souce.
Feel so sorry about that

Thanks for your answer! I guess so, it's just I read somewhere here that the spontaneous reboots could be related to WSM. However, I get used to reboot my phone for breakfast, lunch & dinner

The Zip file is formed, but you have to find it. It is not located directly under internal or external SD card. You have to find the exact path where it is created. Unfortunately I don't remember exact path, and I am on Lollipop ROM on my Z1 now, otherwise I would look it up.
Wish you good luck
Looked here: Storage/emulated/0/android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files??

Of course ! Where did you find it?

hey there, i'm using .28 but it says the media storage has stopped and i can't restore any data from titanium backup...

I know these are novice questions but please bear with me as I just want to understand the process.
I have the Z3C rooted on 5.77 with SuperSU, Xposed and various modules installed plus other ‘normal’ apps.
1. So if I do as in the OP I will have a ‘stock’ Z3C without the apps listed in the OP, meaning I have to install Xposed, modules and all my ‘normal’ apps afterwards? (don’t mind this, just want to be clear)
2. Is SuperSU ok?
3. Can I sync a backup from Sony Companion to get all my personal stuff back?
4. A.If I want to get one of the deleted apps back I just install it from e.g. GooglePlay? or
B. Using RootExplorer can I just delete the App's apk & odex files with same result as flashing?
5. Main reason for wanting to try/use this is I would like to use the Xperia™ Xposed module, so once above is completed I can d/l Xperia™ Xposed , activate it and I’m good to go?
Again, thanks for bearing with me and any advice appreciated.

I softbricked my D5833, what went wrong?
Requirements:
- Z3 Compact (any) or even Z3 (to be confirmed)
- Running rooted 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware
- Recovery
- System partition mountable as r/w
Install:
1. Enter recovery and backup your current rom (good practice)
2. Download flashable zip
3. Enter recovery and flash it
4. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (and Data - optional)

Hi there. I had a well running rooted 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware. After flashing the "[23.0.1.A.5.77] Debloated, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted, Super User Mode" my phone wouldn't boot any more. It got stuck on the Sony logo.
I cant understand why. Is it because I have a D5833? Or might it be because after wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache I also ran "Prepare for flashing a new image" (I can't remember the exact phrase right now)
Please tell me what you think went wrong.

Never mind.

Thanks for this, @serajr. I just had a quick question regarding recovery. I have rooted my device with this guide (all steps completed); when I boot into TWRP and flash this .zip, how do I maintain the Dual Recovery installed in the root guide?
Apologies, I've found that recovery is still maintained on the device after using the .zip but NDRUtils is uninstalled which is easily downloadable again.

Keep cool wiping everything AFTER flashing this thread zip file, it will just do changes into folders below:
/system/app (here including latest Superuser.apk)
/system/priv-app
/system/framework
Root binary (/system/xbin/su) and recovery files won't be touched!

Thanks for the prompt response! So, as far as I've understood, despite NDRUtils being uninstalled after flashing, recovery is still maintained and I just need to redownload NDRUtils if I need it via the Play Store.
I just had two quick follow up questions if you have the time to answer them?
1. If I want to go back to complete stock i.e. out-of-the-box functionality with all the bloat reinstalled, recovery deleted, etc., am I right in saying all I need to do is re-flash a stock firmware from this thread with Flashtool?
2. Can I delete your flashable .zip file and the SonyRICDefeat .zip file from /sdcard0 after flashing them in recovery?​Hopefully these are simple questions. Thanks!

1. Yes, you are! By fully flashing ftf file you will be on raw stock fw again!!
2. Yep, you can delete both!

First time at debloating and deleted the apks at /system/etc/customization/applications/. before first uninstalling.
Could some kind soul post the list or instruct how i can work out the list from the zip? tried exploring the system.ext4 file but that didnt help as i thought it would.
Thanks for the debloat.

Serajr, can you release next version of your modification as a fully fledged ROM, please? It would be way easier to use.
I've just bought my Xperia and i'm a bit confused. With my old Samsung Galaxy everything was easy as a dream:
- flash popular ROM
- update it via OTA for years
With Xperia everything is much more complicated. (2 bootloaders, DRM keys, flash counters, etc.)
Sometimes I think that i'm too old for this but I can't imagine to use Android phone without root, xposed framework, firewall, navbar customization...
Regards.

Newb here, so I can't find my zip file when searching for zip with CWM. I did put it on SDcard and it's mounted, heck I put it in all kinds of folders for a look, but CWM is not recognizing it.
What is the system/method you guys have flashed this rom?
What have I missed? What have I not done? Is there another method?
Thanks.
Edit:
got it, thanks

I am hopefully not the only one with this problem on this deodexed rom but I have the problem to not be able to change the lockscreen wallpaper. It only shows the wallpaper of the homescreen at my lockscreen.
Is anyone else experiencing same issue or has a solution for me?
Maybe only a missing systemapp....

Kernel Problem
The debloated ROM works fine.
Problem: If I flash a Kernel (of course with unlocked Bootloader ) for instance AndroPlus or XZDR Kernel with your ROM - -> Bootloop.
With original/generic .77 firmware - -> no Bootloop
Do I make a mistake?

Go to original thread and take it under "KitKat version (23.0.1.A.5.77)"

Why deodex? Deodexing impairs performance and gains nothing but the ability to mess with system apk more easily.

Worked perfectly for me.
Got Xposed with GravityBox and more all up and running. No bootloops after multiple reboots as well.

I, too, am in doubt which is the correct/easiest approach for upgrading to Lp 5.0.2 from KK .77 LB.
It appears we can piece together a working solution for a Lp with R/W, Recovery & Xposed Framework:
R/W: e.g. use the one from Meetdaleet, which we apparently can 'dirty' flash directly from .77 to 5.0.2
RECOVERY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606&page=384 -Read post 3837 & jump to 3876 where *NUT* says it will be implemented in DualRecovery
Xposed Framework: see *Serajr*'s post 177
As *NUT* is planning on releasing DualRecovery 2.84 next week I think I'll wait and in the meantime hoping Xposed Framework will be updated also.

Can i flash zip or ftf via adb? i'm using cm12 rom.

hi guys,
I bought a Z3C and I just checked the bootloader is not locked .
pen the dialler and enter #*#7378423#*# to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes
I wanted to know if I could flash via Flashtool software directly ?

OK, so I've used the method described in the thread, flashed firmware.zip from recovery on rooted 4.4.4. (.77), after flashing I wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, android was upgraded, system booted, and all of my apps and settings remained intacted. Is this normal? I expected clean start. I used D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Generic_NCB-Root-XZDR2.8.3-SuperSU.

If you didn´t wipe data in recovery, then no data should be wiped. That´s normal.

Yes, that's it. But, did I had to wipe data? I've read that clean install is recommended. I've noticed no problems in the last couple of hours of usage.

Dirty Flash from 23.0.1.A.5.77
I dirty flashed 23.1.A.0.690 from Greatslon MIUI v5 23.0.1.A.5.77 and still have root.
The phone froze and bootlooped a couple of times when i installed and restarted it, but patience was rewarded, as it finally booted.
I can still mount /system as rw both via adb shell, "onboard" terminal and through Root Browser.
Can i be of some help with a logcat, and in case how?
I am a software developer myself, but in a different branch than android. I just can't see through how i should get started with android development.
Great work guys
I guess i should add, that i still have my bootloader locked.
So to summarize:
>Bootloader locked (never unlocked)
>Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 from this thread
>Full root
>System R/W

Hey,
is there a chance to change the carrier name on the lockscreen? In the upper left corner it says "no service" but my carrier is already set up successfully.
Maybe its just because im from germany and its a generic rom or something. so is there a option to set up manually?
greets

Interesting, I did exactly the same but only have partial root, meaning that my system indicates root but I don't have writing permissions. Tried the ADB fix but did not work. Any other suggestions for getting full root again?

FYI: Nut has mentioned that he fixed recovery in his main development thread and will be working on releasing it to everyone soon.

Tnx for ur great work... but i have problem to download from mega site.. and specialy from the folder...
can anyone give me the direct link of [5.0.2] Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 Generic and A.5.77... not the folder link...
and can anyone tell me where exactly save the file we download from mega site ?
i cant find it anywhere...
Tnx alot.. :xX

You would only need to restore the TA backup if you've unlocked your bootloader in the past.

No, system rw is working atm with the newest(2.8.3) release from nut with locked bl. At least for Z3C . the system rw not working refers to other devices.
So when he manages to get the new recovery working you should just be able to install it. That is my hope at least. Anyway in case it doesnt you can backup with titanium backup and after flashing everything again just restore.

oh!
Really thanks for the answers, but I'm not sure to have understand (first sony for me).
I have kk, rooted and with locked bootloader. I have no recovery (I can't manage in flashing that without unlock), so how can I flash the preeroted LP?
I understand that if I backup TA, unlock BL, flash a recovery, flash a pre-rooted LP (after a full wipe), flash the last NUT recovery and then relock the BL restoring TA, I should finally have LP with root, R/W, and drm feature right? Am I missing something? Sorry for the High Noob Lvl xD

Go to the thread of NUT dual recovery and (assuming your on a windows pc) download the installer for nut dual recovery. it will let you install the recovery on locked bootloader by running the install.bat file. with this recovery you can then flash a prerooted lollipop zip (you can do it yourself with prf creator, include the newest SuperSU zip and the newest dual recovery zip together with stock lollipop rom) after wiping your phone. people also just flashed over KK but i prefer to do it clean and set up my phone newly again. you will then end up with a phone which has system rw and root on lollipop but the recovery will be gone until NUT fixes it. That is what everybody is waiting for.
So unlocking BL wont really gain you anything except sonys DRM keys not working. it will just introduce an additional step to relock them.
Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
to get into recovery just spam the volume up button(or down since it has two recoveries ) when your phone boots and lights up the led.

There is a custom firmware not really changed but it`s still an improvment, here`s is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/development/xperia-e1-falcons-rom-d2105-t2995196
There is CyanogendMod but the wifi, blutooth, etc. But there is an open source for E1 if you have the experciance to build CM

Hi,
i installed the recovery following the tuto, but after running .bat, the phone restarted, and i saw a blue led light, pushing 3 times the vol-, and after nothing, the screen remained black.
I removed the battery and started again, but the phone enter in a loop, sometimes i see the pin code screen, but comes in loop again.
What to do? Please help me before I reinstalled a rom.
Thanks
PS: my phone has 4.3 rom. Maybe needed 4.4?????

hi again,
effectively my E1 was under 4.3, so bricked after installing recovery
please be clear in the tuto, only for 4.4
after reinstalling 4.4, the recovery works and debloater also

hello,
you install fw .13
you install kernel only .47
you root with towelroot
you flash kernel only .13
if that doesn't work (???), try using Root Genius

Xperia E1 recovery does not work
Hello!
I have found your thread, and I also have tried the installation step by step.
My E1 has the Android Version 4.4.2 (D2005_20.1.A.0.47_RU), my phone got root access and I have installed busybox.
If I choose the install.bat an error appears: Unable to open system/bootstrap/bin/busybox: no such file or directory
Anyone knows the problem?
Thanks for helping me out.
