New Version 1.4a, .67 rom Released
( HackitZ-XperiA JB ), based on Xperia ZL (C6506) 10.3.1.A.2.67_Canadian Firmware.
Added a thanks note to the testers below.
Removed all older versions, kept 244 version for now, cleaned OP up a little.
Huge thanks to DooMLoRD for root on .67 & .244!!! use his version to root .67 & .244
just came from the Xperia T and will be adding the tweaks from my xperia T to my new Xperia ZL.
Before everyone gets to excited let me explain, I'm no Dev just a tweak-er. I use dsixda's kitchen for most of the heavy lifting but have been slowly learning more and more. I would also Like to thank all the devs here who have helped me over the years and of course XDA for the outlet for all of us to do what we love.

Here's my shameless link for donations, or maybe we could call this my link for coffee.
​
Backup before installing, this release needs a fresh install. if you install ontop of .244 i can not help.
The rom is based on Canadian latest Jelly Bean update - .67
I have included Xposed Framework, just install as usual, also included reboot apk and toggle settings apk.
Complete rewrite of the updater-script, still a work in progress.
I made this rom for all Xperia ZL looked bottloader user's, LTE APN's for rogers are included (plus More).
Rom is and will be optomized for users that have a locked bootloader, might work on other phones. If your brave you can test and report back.
No themes yet, I have not tried any downloads below yet, if you try and install any of my themes it's at your own risk.
The rom is based on US Generic latest Jelly Bean update - .244
4.2.2 has built in toggles like the the docomo version, so i will not be trying add any other toggle options.

* and to anyone else i might have missed. ​
I love feedback and will do my best to answer and keep an eye on the thread. as I'm new to building rom's I have a lot to learn. So with that being said if and when i upload a rom and it has warning in the change log, this just means it might not be stable and could cause you to have to reinstall a rom. I will do my best to ensure that does not happen by testing my self, but it's always a possibility.​
Fine Print......,
if you are unsure on how to flash a rom, root a phone, answer a text or use an android phone you may want to do a little reading before you begin..
If by chance you mess up or I upload a rom that messes up your phone you ultimately are on your own and take full responsibility for anything that happens to your phone.
So all jokes aside take care and read if your unsure, Have fun.

Rogers LTE & Tethering APN settings, this came from a stock Roger's Xperia T.
So if you have lost your APN's or want to add the Roger's APN's for LTE to your rom here you go.

Great news
But may I ask why not 10.1.a.434?the newest firmware
Edit:My bad I didn't see it is for locked bootloaders

Good job OP. This should satisfy all those with locked BLs who have been left out of the action so far.:good:

will be a little longer, battery died last night and now it wont reset or charge.

OK version 1.0 is working (stock no mods, this will be my base), now i want some time to see if i can fix the CWM rebooting issue.
hmm...
I'm not really good with that so not sure how much time I'll waste on the fix.

Thanks for the link, unless i can figure out cwm it's to hard to for me to develop. cwm mod my zl (C6506) is horrible. to much work to sign in to use the app on the market or install cwm to just get it back into cwm, it is killing the phone every third or forth time. causing me to have to start all over.

stuck at the sony icon again, arghhhh.

What are you using to flash cwm?

the one here,
i have now included x-parts in my rom to boot to recovery during my testing? so i have a working black conversation apk mod done, plus a black and blue keyboard and now i'm working on the dialer.
once i get all my visual mods done i'll work on system mods.
hopefully we'll get a fully working cwm for our zl's. maybe the sd card mount will be fixed as well.
I read in a post you fixed the issue with cwm for c10? could you possibly add it to the one in the thread i linked to?

how do you decompile a cwm recovery?

Stuck on sony logo again, please can someone fix cwm. some times i can boot to cwm 3 times and then sony logo, and sometimes 2 times.
starting all over again.

think I'm ready to upload and let people test. hopefully uploaded in the next 24 hrs.
screen shots of mods to come as well.

uploading to ftp now, takes a while and i have 3 full versions. only thing different is the toggles.
in time i'll add add toggle update to switch from while your on a different version.
so first one to be uploaded is the one with docomo toggles.

Hey HackitZ thanks for the Rom. You mentioned in the install instructions to install a particular Rom ftf first. Is it necessary prior to flashing yours if I already have my Bell ZL rooted?
Sorry the amateur question

ok i mention to flash the ftf that i used for a base. i'm sure you could keep the your phone the way it is just make sure you reset the phone in cwm and wipe dalvic cache.
if you find you have weird issue's then i would suggest starting over and with the us generic ftf.
if you flash over the bell stock let me know how it goes.

Flash went good on the Bell stock Rom. Although when I tried to use the system UI tool it crashed system settings and lost access to pull down menu and navigation toggles. So I just dI'd a factory reset. All else is good.
Notified me I have an update available though.
Sent from my C6506 using Tapatalk 2

i have not had systemUI crash, what one did you install?
my phone is still locked to a carrier i don't use. So i have yet to connect to a network or turn on wifi.
wonder what version bell is up to for it to show an update.

[MOD] V20F bell / atnt / xxx Kronic BlueMod v4.3 / V5 / V5.1

Kronic BlueMod V 4.3 / V5.1 for 4.2 framework
- i posted v5 on a reply... wasn't thinking it's on page 1.
- it is normal for first boot to take a long time after flashing mod, during this time the system is updating the cache partitions new drawables etc because system files changed. 1-3 minutes maybe. if it starts to take really long then flash backup zip or reflash the rom you were using to patch the files back to normal, this shouldn't really happen though unless you get currupt download or flash to incompatible rom.
for bell based v20f, also works on most other v20f but some icons may need to be swapped.
- to backup original ui, make a copy of this zip, open the copy with 7-zip, replace /system/app/systemui.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the CURRENT ones from your phone (adb pull them or something) then rename the copied zip originalUI.zip and put it on your sdcard, in case something goes wrong you can reflash it to go back to default.
- to install just flash the zip in recovery mode, do not wipe cache partitions, the android OS will update them when it sees changed files.
enjoy!!!!
p.s. i don't take responsibility for you breaking your phone.
if you aren't confident in moding these files, but you want something changed just post what it is and i'll do my best to provide you with a personal patch. if there is an icon i missed on the rom you use, let me know and i'll update. (many roms use differant icons)
- if this doesn't work with your rom you can request that i write one specifically for your rom and i may do it.
i do intend on adding other color versions of this so feel free to request colors.
this UI mod is intended to make the amazingly stable and battery friendly v20f a real option by making it pretty.
other additions i recommend are:
power toggles (has a homescreen widget that add's reboot menu with recovery option and bypasses reflashing on reboot by this i just mean a faster reboot by using a root reboot command instead of stock reboot which takes forever)
pocket skip track (allows you do add screen off track switching functionality to stock roms.)
mx camera (gives you hdr camera options without removing 1080p video capabilities like cm10.1)
apex launcher (jelly bean style launcher with lots of options)
exdialer ( a good free dialer with some really nice theme's i bought a payed one for 2 dollars or something that's black and blue)
MHL works on stock roms (micro usb -> hdmi -> tv)
the rom i recommend to run with this is
the legend Ho!No!'s v20f mod 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185178
happy texting !!!
the other feature of this is it should theoretically run smoother than stock files due to less compression.
i will also be posting email.apk LGMms.apk LGCalendar.apk with some better black theme's
this mod is not new but i'm just trying to make a universal one for v20f now, i already have alot of happy users.
--added in 4.3 is standard black background with blue text (on title bar) for any apps or widgets that use default framework values, so far on mine it works for quite a few.
i don't think this will work on roms that aren't deodexed
Kronics BlueMod V5
V5.1 has a few divider fixes and the tab for slider panels/quicksettings in status_bar_expanded
the lockscreen is for pattern lock check attachment if u wanna see it
the screenshot for the quicksettings panel is from before the cyan color was fixed to neon blue
screenshot 16 is V4.3 the others are 5.0, in 5.1 the bottom tab color is fixed on screenshot 26
in 5.0+ BlueMod tag is removed i decided the average person probably doesn't want it.
in 5.1 the bottom bar in expanded panel color is fixed
- i did more work to framework-res to change more of the default backgrounds and font color's for 3rd party apps and such, there are a few system apps that i think have to be modded individually because it didn't apply for them, but you should see some of your apps starting to inherit the theme.
for the pattern lock mod, i disable the showing of the lines because it's extremely hard to mod, it's done in some equation in a smali file somewhere that is differant location on most phones, until someone that has a strong grasp of smali that uses LG phones takes a look i can't mod that

reserved for secondary files

if you want to learn to do your own mod's, or fix something i missed on your rom, the tutorial can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362717

Kronics BlueMod v5
This has only been tested on the rom with 4.2 framework v20f, if someone wants to try flashing it on a non updated framework v20f and let me know if it works that is cool, if not i'll do it when i get a chance, if u do it backup your original files to a flash first.
i already fixed the highligher on the bottom tab for settings panel that is slightly the wrong color (greenish) coming in next update

i'm currently investigating the issue that is causing long reboots on every reboot instead of the first one after install. it doesn't seem to be affecting system performance but i know that is probably annoying people so i'm looking into fixing it.
edit i wiped all drives and installed the rom without the mod and it was only 15 seconds or so faster boot, i think this rom just has a long boot (the 4.2 framework one)

What Is Odex / Deodex
How to Odex Your Present Rom
Open Terminal Emulator
Type code : su
after Type Code: odex
Select options as you refer
After completion Just reboot and enjoy the Odex rom
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine called the Dalvik Virtual Machine. A deodexed or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK. An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it. Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages. Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities. This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first, since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.

Most awaited rom on Z1 section I think. Your rom is best of kitkat roms. Lollipop is to messy at this moment so your rom is most attractive to Z1 flashing community. I hope this update will be great! I have two
questions to you Venkant Kamesh. Maybe I'm blind but if you are using in this rom DRM Keys function restoration? And is you're using back led power extension mod?

You flashed this, do you?

1st) Problems with market.. can i re-install only its?
i'll try to explain: some apps like "clash of clanes", "instagram".. are not recognized like compatibile. In add to its, some apps like facebook and whatsapp have the kitkat interface. Seems that market recognize a kitkat version.
2nd) I can't change background. It's related to an album's app, i think something like "album cut..".
I'm in testing

I like this ROM but i'll wait for more reviews.

henry chip said:

After two days of usage i can say:
1) battery is the same as stock sony lollipop.
2)if you want to change background (home or lockscreen is the same) you NEED TO INSTALL photo editor.apk (it is an xperia app).
3) I think you did some mistakes in build.prop for z1 compact. A lot of app in play store aren't compatible with the device.
4) "Ritocco Ritratto" (in italian, i don't know in english) (maybe "portrait changes") is a Camera App extension. It doesn't function due to missing components (says Android).
I can't find "Ritocco Ritratto" anywhere, and market helper doesn't help!

Nice and stable rom. Most of useless bloat removed.
Missing some basic functions and settings from other roms like CM or AOSP - for example editable nav bar buttons, quick toggle hold for opening related settings etc...
But i like sony camera app and some other sony specific features, so at the moment i'll stick with sony based roms

Can any1 confirm if the High-Res Audio (DSEE HX) is working? (It says the option has been enabled in this ROM)

Thank you for this great rom,much better then rockz1c(that most of the time bootloops)
For some reason camera is working awesome in this rom(even better then on kk) all on manual

Been running for a day. No issues whatsoever with install, ric, root or play store incompatibilities. All good.

Where is Z1C gloves mode?

1) Does this ROM have ultra stamina mode ?
2)Do I need 14.5.A.0.242 or I can install it on a .157 Z1C?

Excellent ROM with all of the useless crap removed, but I can't seem to install Sony's stock photo editor (from the What's New app), and get Messaging to work properly while on Ultra Stamina mode.
Would really appreciate if the dev could work on this. No pressure though!

[z1 z1c z2 z3 z3c] - Xperia System/Camera Package and Guide on clean installing a ROM

Hey guys, I would like to introduce the packages I've create for the CarbonROM (might work on other roms) using Magisk systemless module to get the Sony look and apps back again on Oreo, Pie and 10.
Also, I've prepared a comprehensive guide on flashing a CustomROM on z3c but it should help with the install process on other phones as well.​
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* 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 MOD
* 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.
* If you don't like this MOD, Stay away from this thread!
DISCLAIMER:
- Use it at your own risk
- Feel free to ask any questions
- All credit goes to the devs of each project, I just put everything together in a pack that is more helpful for new and old users in my view. Feel free to contact me anyway.

Press the ":good: Thanks!" button if you find this mod helpful!

I've thought on providing a user friendly clean install tutorial here (assuming that you coming from stock):
1. Get the last CarbonROM, the last Gapps (OpenGapps ARM or MindTheGapps ARM), the last stable or beta Magisk (Installer, Uninstaller and Manager) and the last TWRP.
2. If your device is D5833 get .575 and .291 roms (however you just need the kernels), if it is D5803 skip this step.
3. Follow this tutorial to root your phone.
4. Backup your DRM keys if you want (I personally like to backup them)
5. Now unlock your Bootloader using Flashtool (get the unlock code from here if you don't have it)
6. After get your bootloader unlocked flash again .291 rom
7. Get Minimal ADB and Fastboot
8. Copy the TWRP that you download to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
9. Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot as admin
10. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (press volume up and connect the usb cable)
11. In Minimal ADB and Fastboot type fastboot flash FOTAKernel <"twrp_name">.img and hit enter
12. If everything were OK type exit and hit enter
13. Now press volume down and the power button at the same time to boot in the recovery, when the phone vibrates release the power button, when the light came out release the volume down button. thanks @casouzaj for this post.
14. Click on Wipe, Advanced and select and clear Everything (Dalvik/ART Cache, system, cache, Data, Internal Storage)
15. Go back and click on Install, find and install CarbonROM
16. Go back and click on Install, find and install Gapps
17. Go back and click on Install, find and install Magisk
18. Go back and click on Install, find and install Image Enchament and Smart Technologies (Optional - I installed but not sure if it is doing anything)
19. Go back and click on Install, find and install Oreo-XZ2-DisplayMod-for-XZ-XZs-XP (Optional - I installed but not sure if it is doing anything)
20. Reboot to system
21. Upgrade Magisk Manager (Swipe up on the main screen, find and open Files app, click on the on top left, select SD card, find Magisk Manager apk)
22. Open Magisk Manager and install SONY XPERIA XZ2 SOUND SYSTEM™ by @sirdoha (v1.35 Magisk recommended) (not necessarily anymore)
(Quick guide: Open Magisk Manager, click on the on top left, click on Modules, click on the "+" button on the center of the screen, give its permissions, search for the file and click on it).
23. Remember, after install any Magisk module, reboot your system, otherwise it will not get installed properly. (At least I've tried to flash many modules at once and it didn't work)
24. Install the right Sony Stock Camera Magisk Module on your device (Camera button acts just like in Sony Stock ROMs).
25. Install the right Xperia System Pack Magisk Module.
26. Install Xperia Camera Add-on Package Magisk Module.
27. If you want to boost your torch get the Magisk Module from here

Man, thanks, this is nice!
Since video editor is not; is there a way to actually make timeshift video work this far?
Kind regards

Yep, have to look at video editor as it was kinda working but it was giving many FCs.
I coudn't get timeshift video working as well by now, have to look closely to it as well.
Cheers!

Could you give it a try and let me know the outcome? I suppose yes since z2, z3 and z3c are very close devices... Cheers!

Minor Update Up:
- Fixed FCs on system package - now everything should install and run smoothly.
- Added Smart Connect apk on system package.
- New Stock Camera Module - now combined with Cyberian Camera Mod (better features)
- Introduction of Xperia Camera Add-ons Magisk Module (good option for those who want to add the add-ons only).
- Minor update regarding Timeshift - It actually saves the video, but only when device is rebooted (still looking on it)

You on CarbonROM yes? both Cameras Modules (v1 and v1.1) does not work on Z2?
I got a similar problem recently while messing with camera files, you coming from a clean install ? If not, have you previously installed Sony Camera?
I see what can I do mate about z2 but as I don't have one it's kinda difficult to test, btw do you have cyberian 7.4 for z2? the last version 8.0 isn't fully working when combined with stock camera at least on the tests I did on my z3c.
Cheers!

Hi,is it possible to do the same job for xz premium and create a stock camera module for carbon 6.1 ROM?

Hello, I have Z3 Compact D5803, Carbon rom 6.1. I have all the camera modules installed. I do not have all the Cyberian Mod functions. I miss 20px in 16: 9 resolution.

v1.2 fixed this. Now 20mpx 16:9 is present as well as 12mp and 10mp. However, have to look at 8mp resolutions that dissapeared.
Cheers!

You welcome sir, you can add - Xperia Z3 Compact running CarbomROM | Android 8.1 - to you compatible list when you got time for it
Also, I saw that in the 1.4 Magisk version of your port XZ2 media was removed, and also noticed that Music apk is with a weird name in system "artist..." and not just 'Music' so I made a Magisk module combining both 1.3 and 1.4 versions, could you add that in your post? or allow me to add it here?
Cheers!

I can't guarantee you that it is possible, since xz premium is from a complete different architecture and I don't know nothing about it.
