Troubleshoot :
1. How to enable root access?

8. Cant import theme from sdcard, what to do?
- The new MIUI at default doesnt allow you to apply theme which not from their store, but try other theme, theres some of theme still can be imported
9. Issues with downloading, how to fix?
- Turn off the xunlei download engine at download - settings, also set the limit to unlimited
10. Navbar is too small, how to fix?
- If u want alternative, use MiPop 2.0 .. im reduced its size due to fix some of layout bugs. To remove the navbar add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" without " in the bottom of the build.prop then push Mipop.apk to system/priv-app
11. How to show messenger chat heads?
- Download app-ops app from playstore, install then reboot, after that search for messenger permission, enable the draw over blabla permission : thanks to Kishan Kumar for the guide

A huge thanks for this Rom was waiting for different ui.
It would be great if u will provide some screen shots
Screenshots
I havent found any fc
Hoping that the sim bug will be fixed soon
I dont mind using the Single SIM as I use it for single sim most of the time. Thank you for sharing it here. I'm downloading it now.
an awesome rom
This is the best rom I have ever used on my Sparkle V. Very smooth ,
but I found a bug - while backing up data on local storage the phone hangs and reboots itself in a minute, but that's not a major issue.:good:
guys, I tried flashing, but failed. ,
- first I tried wipe everything, and then flash. But flash or rom failed, giving sole softlink issue. I tried multiple times, but failed. Finally, fixed issue by having another 4.4.4 rom installed first and then flashing this rom without wiping system
- once flash was successful, I rebooted device, but it keeps looping wihout booting up. OP suggested multiple iterations of (battery remove, goto recovery, wipe dalvik, boot) , but I am in my 7th attempt and device not booting still.
How many times you guys had to wipe dalvik? Very much anxious to test this MIUI rom !
Flash why philz
Do not flash gapps it was bootlooping

thanks @yadavdharmendar, I am installing from philz, and I avoided installing gaps as well. Still not luck. I get Simlink error.
I am coming from FIUI rom. Not sure if that matters (as anyway I am wiping everything before starting rom flashing).
I was on Fiui too
Then i flash cm11 ,then miui

thanks! But why you installed CM11 first before installing Miui. OP didn't asked for it. Just curious to know!
And where you got CM11 from? From Cyanogenmod download page for "sprout"?

Thanks all. Installed cm11, then installed ROM with the patch, and avoided flashing any gapps. It worked! Just one bootloop, which went away after wiping dalvik.
Thanked OP!!
BTW, any ways to make the navigation buttons look big. And possibly increase bar height?
about 2nd sim
bro plz plz get 2nd sim working.
thanks for your work and you are awesome.
@teztaz--v3

Just one problem seen :
Can not install Google maps. Says insufficient space, which is strange. Also failed to install Link2SD. Tried even installing from ADB, gave error INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. Hope Miui is not blocking it.

CyanogenMod 13 for the Sony Xperia Z5 E6653 and E6603
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase
performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be
used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps).
CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Before you start
This ROM is only for the E6653 and the E6603
Code:
*
* Your warranty may be voided !
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*

(Known) Issues
Video Recording
Bluetooth (keeps restarting) (might be fixed, needs feedback + testing)
Camera Colors (can be circumvented by using specific apps CameraNext Mod )
Camera Focus & Sharpness (driver issue, probably since it uses Xperia Z (original) drivers but different lenses ?)
Camera lowlight pictures (might improve with release of Sony's "Experimental AOSP Camera" for the Z5 series, porting of other Framework + Stock Cam app; partially needs DRM magic)
Camera Focus (even with VCM2 actuator changes focus is still kind of murky)
Fingerprint sensor (might work depending on build date of ROM)
Lag after booting up device (Will resolve: lock screen after boot and waiting a few seconds)
Long bootup times & less smoothness with "stock" (prebuilt) kernel
What can not be fixed, changed - aka WONTFIX - NOTOURPROBLEM
There might be potential speed issues with Class 10+ microSD cards not properly being "tuned", in that case switch to slower cards or RMA it which should hopefully solve it. There is a possibility to force slower speeds on cards but that is not really the optimal solution with ultra speed cards and needs further investigation. Samsung (EVO/EVO+) cards, Transcend cards and a few others UHS-I(+) and faster are affected.
What has been Fixed
Horizontal color lines and color glitches during bootup
Gapps
Sudden Lag after some time
NFC
Odd calling numbers
In-call mic
Sound on calls
Camera button
Microphone
Thermal regulation
Red flashy frames
RIL (SIM detection)
Dex pre-optimization
Camera
Sensors
Crash after locking device
microSD access
Flash light / Torch
Full brightness (should be fully working)
Gapps (permissions issues) [occurs occasionally and should be circumvented by full-wipe approach (incl. internal storage)
Hang/Loop during boot stage (should be circumvented by full-wipe approach (incl. internal storage)) (use Custom Kernel, under investigation)
High battery drain [~ 10%-20% per hour] when dirty-flashing system (fastboot -S 256M flash system system.img), make sure to have data backed up, then format /data ; OTA updates should be fine though [need feedback] ); causes are: dirty flashing, certain apps, ROM issues, etc.

How to install CM 13
Above all - do a Backup of ALL your data
When I write ALL I mean ALL (this includes the data on your micro SD card,
don't come whining to me if you lose your wedding photos/videos, kids' photos/videos or other important stuff !
For optimal experience I'd recommend my built custom kernel (quicker boot times, higher reliability, more tweakability)
General, in-depth instructions
Download one of the newer Z5 AndroPlusKernels v20+ by @AndroPlus from his official website (Scroll down and select Z5, then on AndroidFileHost search for Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v2 (v20 - v23) and download it)
Extract the flashable zip-file e.g. Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v23.zip
Download our TWRP 3.0.1-0 build for the Z5)
Download the appropriate gapps from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
Download the CM 13 Zip for the Z5 from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
Move the GAPPS zip and the CM 13 to your Z5 if you haven't downloaded them on your device
Power Off your Z5 and wait about 10-15 seconds to make sure it's off
To enter fastboot mode hold VOL UP and while holding VOL UP connect your device to your pc via cable
When the notification LED has turned blue you are in fastboot mode
On your PC flash the boot.img that has been extracted from the Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v23.zip using fastboot (
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
)
Now flash twrp-3.0.1-0-E6653-20160403.img by using fastboot (
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.1-0-E6653-20160403.img
)
Once both of those images have been flashed you can reboot the device like so:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Quickly pull the usb cable from the computer (you can leave the other end in the phone's port)
When booting up wait for the notification light to turn yellow at the Sony logo
Once it has turned yellow, you will enter TWRP by pressing VOL UP (or VOL DOWN - up works more reliably)
If you've missed the step above, reboot your device and try the step above again
Alternatively you can force turn off the device via: Power Button + Volume Up , then turn it on again via Power Button
If TWRP asks you to enable read and write, swipe to continue
Go to settings and lower the max brightness to the minimum or one of the lower levels to preserve energy
In TWRP make a full backup to the microSD in case you want to revert back to stock.
After it has finished, in this case Reboot -> System.
Copy over the TWRP folder from the external microSD to your computer (reason: you might not have access to your external SD or have to reformat it
Thank Microsoft, Sony, etc. for that: "Stock" ROM uses texfat , AOSP, CM, etc. uses exfat, ext4, ntfs
The files on the microSD might get corrupted (filesystem problem) or the microSD going crazy (I already had both cases)
Now Power on your phone and follow the steps again to get into TWRP
Swipe to continue (?)
select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Now ONLY tick Dalvik/ART cache, System, Cache and Data
WARNING! THE NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA, MEANING YOU WILL DELETE YOUR STOCK SONY SYSTEM AND ALL YOUR APPS
(You already DID a Backup of your files so nothing to worry about)
Once you've ticked the correct boxes, swipe to wipe
Once the wipe is complete, return to the main menu and select Install
Locate and select your CM 13 Zip
Select "Add more Zips" and add your GAPPS package and finally swipe to install
Once the installation succeeded you can select "Reboot System"
Wait for CM 13 to boot up (Can take several minutes)
Enjoy CM13
OPTIONAL: You can remove your TWRP backup that is located in the TWRP folder if you feel like you will no longer need it
How to ROOT
In CM 13, enable the developer options
Select Root access
Select Apps Only (Or Apps and ADB if you use ADB)
Done
How to disable the Thermal Manager
Before we start I want to set a few questions and warnings. Disabling the thermal manager will cause you device to run slightly hotter, do this at your own risk.
Let's start out with why you would want to disable the thermal manager. At this point it's not recommended to disable the thermal manager as it has been fixed. However some people still want the max performance out of their device. The average heat without the thermal manager will be roughly the same, if not less compared to the stock ROM with it's thermal manager enabled.
So why is the thermal manager even included if it the device runs mostly fine without it. As most of you already know, the Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) has overheating problems. The first CM boot after flash is responsible for optimizing apps and android and can become extremely resource hungry at that point. Due to that, the device can heat tremendously! Not only can that cause a panic reboot but it can also damage your device in rare cases. To avoid that issue a thermal manager shrinks down process and slowers the boot animation (That's why the CM logo may lag at first boot).
Enough said, let's get going..
To disable the thermal manager you must do the following :
First enable root access (See "How to ROOT" guide)
Open the CM file manager
Go to settings > General Settings > Access Mode
Select root acess mode
Go back to the file manager
Swipe from left to right or press the menu button in the upper left corner
Select Root folder
Open the folder/directory called etc
Delete thermanger.xml
Reboot
Done
How return back to stock via TWRP backup
Reboot your device
Wait for the notification light to turn purple at the Sony logo
Once it has turned purple, you will enter TWRP by pressing VOL UP or VOL DOWN
If you've missed the step above reboot and try again
If TWRP will ask you to enable read and write, swipe to continue
In TWRP select restore and select your backup, then swipe to restore
Once the restore is done you can select "Reboot System"
If your device hangs at the Sony wave boot animation, force shut down and power your device up again.

I've taken a look but haven't figured out yet on how to make it work,
if there are any developers out there with DSDS (dual sim) devices, interested on getting this working and read this - please take a look at it
Thanks !

Sorry for the inconvenience so far
Give it a try, if you dare
Okay, so I followed the steps for "General installation", and the rom is surprisingly smooth. The only issue I've noticed that isn't addressed in the original post is that vibration intensity is WAY higher than in the stock rom. Like it's actually pretty loud. I know it's a minor issue compared to some of the other things, but I'm just throwing that out there. I'll point out anything else I find.
Absolute legend! Thanks man. I'll get to testing once i get home off this drilling rig

Actually it already was higher on AOSP, if recall correctly, but I'll ask the other devs if they noticed something out of the ordinary

That partially is caused by the "stock" built kernel,
you can see whether is improved by flashing my custom kernel.
One observation (according to @moonbutt74 afaik) led to the conclusion that the upstream (from sonyxperiadev) setting of coherent_pool=8M doesn't match with Sony's ("Stock ROM") setting of coherent_pool=2M,
and does no good for startup time (and reliability ?).
Another factor (like in most AOSP-based ROMs, Kernels) is that the kernel was built with a less tuned toolchain (gcc),
can't directly explain though why does leads to exactly that behavior.
Tl;dr:
Give the custom kernel a try - the "stock" kernel should work but for some reason sometimes it does not
custom has exfat + ntfs support to make microSDs work reliably and other things
Thanks

How to install first time
* First of all, make a complete backup of all your photos and internal data in the computer, since the first installation requires to eliminate ALL the sdcard content, given the encryption of Android Nougat and later; the one that warns you is not a traitor, you are going to lose all the data (just as it happens if you install other ROMS). This is due to (in turn) that if we have not formatted the sdcard, it will not boot for security protection data of the cited encryption,
* With TWRP Recovery (read tutorials on how to install it) we will make another backup, but this time System, Data, Cache, Boot, and especially the EFS (important).
* Download the ZIP flasheable and pass it to the internal memory of the phone (no matter if we have already formatted it or not).
* Restart on TWRP recovery
* Make Wipes: System, Data, Dalvik, Cache.
* Install from Recovery the EpicROM ZIP flasheable and wait for it to appear okay (If you get error 7 the TWRP in the step of "formating system / extracting system", restart in recovery immediately, and reinstall it, this is due that in Nougat you must re-generate the system partition for encryption topics, so it will install you, it should work like the rest of us )
* We reboot in fastboot mode once the rom has been installed correctly. To do this, we can do it from TWRP in REBOOT / Fastboot or by holding down the power button and the volume down button until FASTBOOT and Mitu appear by soldering an Android robot. In this step, we connect the mobile to the computer, and in the same folder that can be downloaded from en.miui.com/unlock (to unblock the bootloader) click inside that folder in a blank space in the right mouse click while holding the SHIFT key on the keyboard; a window will appear and the "open command window" option should appear. We tapped on that window. When it opens, if you open powershell (blue screen) from windows 10, type cmd and press enter. If you open the classic cmd of all life (BLACK SCREEN) we are already where we want.
* Type in the cmd (be powershell or cmd) fastboot format userdata and press enter. There will be formatted all our mobile, and restarting it will work everything.
* Restart normally and configure. Remember that the first start takes a little longer, from there, it will always light fast. In the following versions, it will NOT BE MISSING to do all this, just install without wipes and to run. I already adapt it so that I clean what I have to clean with each update EXCEPT that I expressly say something else in that UPDATE.
* Enjoy (and re-pass all data previously backed up to the internal memory).
How to install UPDATE from Epic ROM 7.X.XX
Download Epic OTA with OTA app from Settings (No MIUI Updater, use EPIC OTA!)
You can also download update manually from en.miui forum or htcmania spanish forum
Install update from Epic OTA or from TWRP Recovery manually
You don't need to wipe anything if we don't say it on update! If you have to do some special, we will let you know
Reboot
Enjoy

Nice work, I'll definitely look into this once my mi 6 arrives
get for natrium, please
Flashed and seems to work very good.
Thank you!
Can you add features like blurred statusbar option? Like the one on miui7. Since last build miuipro 7.5.25 has implemented this. Thanks for the rom anyway
Got error 7 many times. I cant fix It.
Downloaded 3 times and same
Not booting at all. 30 min and still bootanimation. I have followed the instructions to the letter and nothing changes. Tried it thrice.
A video tutorial would be nice, I might be doing something wrong. Also I'm on official TWRP, IDK if that makes a difference.

Actually the recovery does not matter. I used official TWRP recovery and got it to work.
It's juts the flashing guide that misguided (lol) me.
Coming from global/official/beta or any other ROMS you HAVE TO WIPE USER DATA.
Also going back to global/official/beta ROMS you HAVE TO WIPE USER DATA.
Otherwise the guide is okay, if this could be pinned or added together with the other *NOTES it would be superb.

Yes, everything is lost from phone.
Copy internal storage, or important data (in internal) to computer.
I have not tested otg since I don't have a type-c otg nor do I have a converter to type-c.
Sideloading works. (I use this a lot)
Also you could just enable mtp and copy .zip to storage.
Not booting stays at EpicROM logo :/
Trying With officeial TWRP, With Cofface, formated all partitions :/ No error 7 while falshing all process went well.
Hmmm What am I doing wronge here :/

FORMAT DATA in TWRP helped

Because you've installed the full mod of status bar from ota and mods by MrRaines . Install the "come back to normal/stock status bar mod" to revert it hahaha.
DO READ ALL CAREFULLY ! I MEAN ..... ALL…
When installing this zip you have to know it’ll make your intSD to be formatted when you want to revert to Nougat (see later on) . So do follow instructions carefully, otherwise do flash something else….don’t want to see some tears due to this one
So, thought I upload my twrp zip of A2017 V3.0.0B01 MiFavor 5.2 based on @wineds backup (thnx mate !). And make a FULL GUIDE for it !
As some of you wanted to test out this V3.0.0B01(version2) not through EDL but via a regular twrp zip, here you go !
Pros and Cons but did my best to make it as it is...
PRO :
*stock rom with Dolby
*almost fully debloated of Chinese adware
*working magisk 15.3 and safetynet
*working adaway
*magisk modules working fine
*no call bugs
*no hickups or stuttering UI
*scaling up to 0.25 – much faster UI experience
*axon7 G bootanimation
*FP scanner less then 1/2sec response time
*…
CONS :
*didn’t manage to make system r/w through root explorers ; you can however delete and add files - or use twrp - i guess you’ll have to live with that and test for yourselves
*reboot time lasts langer then normal
*quick-charging does work but does not display that on screen
*dialer phone call list may show some chinese characters next to "mobile", "work". It's a translation of it.
*…
Procedure : READ CAREFULLY !!!!!
0. Download/place files onto extSD (not intSD) formatted as Fat(32)/exFAT (otherwise your extSD might seem “corrupt” when booted – see also PNW) :
a. Twrp3.2.1.5
b. A2017X_V3.0.0B01_O_SL!M rom
c. A2017X_V3.0.0B01_bootstack twrp3.2.1.6 incl
d. Modem G or U
e. A2017X_universalB15_twrp3.2.1.0 included and/or your bootstack of your running rom at the moment
f. Magisk 15.3
1. Do make a full backup of your intSD ! ( on pc or extSD like you want ). You’ll loose your intSD when reverting back and needs formatting to EXT4. YOU ARE WARNED!
2. Install twrp3.2.1.0 (if not already running) !
3. Do make a full backup in twrp3.2.1.0 of your entire working rom (boot, modem, system, data)(if not already done)
4. Boot into twrp3.2.1.0 and flash twrp3.2.1.5(a), reboot in recovery AGAIN ( do not boot system)
5. Wipe system/data/cache/dalvik
6. Install (b) rom
7. Install (c) bootstack
8. Install (d) modem (G/U)
9. Flash magisk 15.3 (f)
10. Wipe cache/dalvik
11. Reboot
12. Tap power on “5sec” and “30sec” screen ( I know….the corrupt boot is awfull,,don't blame me...)
13. You’ll be powered off/red lights
14. Power for around 10sec and you’ll boot
15. Tap middle circle on bootpage, choose English, setup wifi,check in,…..
16. You’re on !
17. Uncheck auto update into Playstore !
18. Check safetynet magisk. Should be ok
19. Check adaway. Should be ok. If not : check “systemless hostst” under magisk/settings
20. Enjoy adless youtube
21. ….
You can add the new JoJoc module in magisk to juice up your battery-life :good:
Tip : disable left page (Mi-board) with long press on home screen/goto more/uncheck Mi-Board
REVERT PROCEDURE to Nougat : READ CAREFULLY !!!
1. Boot into twrp3.2.1.6
2. Flash twrp3.2.1.0 and reboot into recovery AGAIN (not into system !)
3. You will see you have to “cancel” and swype and you’ll have to format intSD again. But first look also if you see your old twrp backup you took earlier into the restore option
4. When so, go into wipe/advanced/wipe/choose data/change filesystem to EXT4
5. Then go into wipe : wipe system/data/cache/dalvik
6. Restore your old twrp backup
7. Flash universal B15 ! (for nougat)
8. Reboot
9. Red lights...but power again for some secs
10. You’ll boot
11. When booted, reenter twrp again and flash ( if needed ) your own bootstack again ( in my case on G I flashed the B09 bootstack (slim4) and in same flash also the B09-removeBLwarning )
12. Reboot and you’re on your old running rom now

Can I keep twrp 3.2.1-0 or do I have to update to 3.2.1-5?

It's all in procedure you know. And no you'll have to install 3.2.1.5. Later on, when bootstack is flashed you'll end up even on 3.2.1.6 to not corrupt your data EXT4 partition.
Anyway, read carefully and do all as described!!! This is not a regular flash
Is this the official oreo rom by zte? How is the performance compared to nougat?

Based on this. ZTE release beta V3.0.0B01 MiFavor 5..2
Performance is up to you to test. For me it has no lags only the ones mentioned in OP. When listening f.e. on youtube, imo sound quality is way above N.
Battery with Jojoc tweak is comparable to N.
Also less then 1/2sec for FP scanner. So no bug there as before.
Test it yourself and compare :good:
Why this version and not B07?
Did not boot on my U version. Waiting on animation for 15 minutes
Booted for me (A2017G).
Fingerprint sensor is veeeery slow when phone has been sleeping.
For adaway, I had to change the setting in Magisk, as mentioned in the OP.
Other than that, it seems ok. It would be nice to have a way of applying the B07 OTA though.
Thanks again raystef66!!!

If no go , wipe system/data/cache/dalvik again and redo procedure all over.
Edit : if all fails : flash this

Thnx joaste!
FP for me is like said very fast even when doing it's nap
Yeah, V3B07 would be great (i worked on it before) but then again for now no dolby when rooted and vice versa afaik. Therefore i worked on this one.
For G version (not sure about U) , if you want to disable nav_bar, use my navbar df!nr

- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip

I'm having a problem that says I don't have available storage (even i have 50gb free), I can't download anything, any help?
I'm having a problem with the lock screen, every time I put a password and restart the phone and try to unlock it, it automatically says the password is wrong and locks the phone for more than 8000 seconds... you know how to fix it?
so our phone does not support installing firmware from tvrp? And so why does the manual describe the installation method via TWRP?

I thought we couldn't put twrp on our phones. Was a fix found?
Does it work on U8 Tho ? and A217F ?
Hello, I have a problem. It requires a screen lock with face unlock on every option, but my frontal camera is not working and it won't let me get past setup. Is it fixable?

I was able to flash it on my A217F U8. the only thing is that it won't let me go past the setup because it requires face unlock because my frontal camera doesn't work
EDIT: I was able to get over it.
I am getting random lag spikes, when this happens, I boot up ADB Shell and "top" shows 800% CPU while system_server is at the top, without using a lot of CPU... Is this supposed to be expected on this ROM? I can't seem to see it mentioned on bugs.
How do I even flash when there is no TWRP FOR it :[
