What have you done since obtaining root? (opinions) - Xperia Z3 Compact General

Thanks to us finally being able to root, I have so far done the following:
Installed dual recovery by NUT
Backed up my TA folder
Flashed a custom boot animation
Installed root explorer
Installed titanium backup
Installed viper4android sound engine
Installed the in-call loudspeaker dual speaker mod
Removed loads of Sony/Google bloatware
Installed xposed framework
Shrunk the navbar (took up too much screen space)
Modded the hell out of the UI
Set greenify to its max settings at last!
Anyone else got any good suggestions?

I need to catch up. All I've done is install SDFix and Titanium (one-click restore is a beautiful thing). I want your nav bar icons!

Adaway, TiBu, xperia xposed, 20mp superior auto mod, chromepie.
Much better now.
... His nav bar icons are from any of the L themes. Just grab a free one from playstore. No root required.

Very nice! I love how clean your homescreen is. Can you share the icons and font used? Thanks!
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app

For me, it was:
- Change dpi (lowered it to 280)
- Installed Xposed (oh man, I missed this) and a bunch of modules.
- AdAway (adblock plus worked, but not as great)
- Titanium Backup
- SDFix

How come you guys never faced an error installing dualrecovery? mine says mount: permission denied, are you root? need help

You can disregard it for the latest version of [NUT]'s dual-recovery installs just fine regardless. I've seen exactly this on my phone (D5803) as well but successfully flashed a pre-rooted .77 FW from SDcard via TWRP.

Found this thread as well but think development / progress kind of came to stand-still over there. Now, guess everyone likes to have stereo / dual speaker mode in hands-free mode on latest .77 FW, so the question is what needs to be modified in /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and/or /system/etc/mixer_paths_auxpcm.xml (or anywhere else if that's not correct or sufficient) in order to make it happen? Devs and knowledgeable guys to the front please.
Would it be better to start a new thread on this topic?

TA Backup,
Installed Xposed Frameworks
Installed Greenify (nothing hibernated yet)
Installed XPrivacy (Denied every access, only grated after request)
Installed AppSettings (changed dpi of some apps to 270, have not decided if I will go to 270 globally, silenced some apps)
Installed Gravity Box (disabled navigation bar, activated PieControls)
next step is to delete all that bloat.
Is there a list of apps that can safely be uninstalled?

Cool! Thanks!

I suggest using disable service App! It can disable services of the app you have install, letting free some RAM! (I disable some Google services like Android Wearable, ecc!) very very useful!
Still don't know if going for the Cm12, I'll wait a stable realese first and then decide (only reason would be for the Theme Engine and the custom quick settings title!)
SD Maid App is useful for keeping clean the phone..
Xposed don't know what modules use on this Xperia, I'd like to change my lockscreen to a more Nexus style (I come from a Nexus 4).

LCD Density Changes and Results (With Pics)

While playing around with ROM Toolbox today I change the LCD density to 180 and found that everything looked much better on the tablet. In fact the status bar icons even changed to stock android. I would prefer to leave it like this except there is once thing that really I'd bugging me, the Remote Control app is all kinds of screwed up and bunched together after this mod. I currently have it at 200 dpi, but I don't like it as much and the remote is still not looking good. Screen Shots to follow.
Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk 4
180 DPI on Nova Launcher. There is a lot more screen real estate when it comes to text and pictures and such. I really enjoy this but as you can see when it comes to the remote, which I use often, its kind of a buzz kill.

Why not just set the remotes DPI separately? I don't know if the Xposed framework works on the XTZ but it and the module for changing each apps DPI individually would be worth a shot.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not sure how compatible it is with the stock rom. Does anyone know of another way to get per app DPI, outside of paranoid android and such.

I am using Xposed on a full stock/rooted 311 here, works great.
Good to hear. I've had no experience with using it. How's the learning curve on it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
I've been using the Xposed framework for a while on other devices, but I don't think there is any learning curve. Just install the Xposed Installer, use it to install the framework, and install/activate the App Settings module, from there it is quite straight forward.

So i installed the apk and ran the install script... the first two times the tablet rebooted and nothing was different. I tried it again and now im getting a bootloop... kind of a downer :/
Don't EVER install Xposed on a device unless these 2 conditions are met:
1) Custom Recovery (CWM, TWRP) installed
2) Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip has been put in the root directory of your SD card.
Only this way you can get out of possible bootloops.
So I basically have a really stylish $500 paper weight now?

Don't listen to people just saying you are doomed. Just flash your device back to stock using the Sony repair feature of PC Suite. I could tell you how to remove it if you can get root in an adb shell too

Thats ridiculous, this is the first time I have ever heard of a device having this serious of an issue with the Xposed framework.
All the Xposed framework is is an app that allows modules to change certain things on your device without having to manually edit things.

Let us know, I have used the Xposed framework sinve the day it was released and have never had any issues whatsoever. It is really the easiest way to change things on stock roms without having to flash.

So I am still having trouble installing xposed framework. It asks for super user permission and runs through the installnbut then the device reboots with no changes. When I try to run the app settings it says framework not installed. Any ideas?

Yeah its installed but when I try to initialize it I get a messadge that says the framework is not installed. Let me see if I can screenshot it.
Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk 4
Alright this is what im looking at after I supposedly installed the framework (Hit the button not just installing the apk.)
Here is the message I get when trying to initialize the app settings module.
My guess is that when I try to install the framework the tabket goes into read/ write mode. Apparently my tablet doesnt like this because whenever I try this in root browser or es file explorer the tablet reboots immediately with no changes post reboot. Im wondering if this is a problem with only mine or all xtz's.

What method did you use to acquire root? Which superuser app do you use?
I can assure you this works on my 311, as does mounting the system rw.

They work, it just might take a few tries. Once jcase releases his updated root method it will work better since you can fully reboot without having to install xposed and soft reboot again.
Wait until we have full system write abilities. Then this should be awesome.
Does it have a Wi-Fi tether and sound state switch tile in it?
Sent from my DROID MAXX via Tapatalk 4.
No the only two it adds are Airplane Mode and Rotate Lock.
Everything works but you must mount the system read/write and do soft reboots through the Xposed App every time it requires it instead of fully rebooting.

I got the same permissions request right after I installed PwnMyMoto
I've had no problem. You need to make sure you do the following
1) - Root using PwnMyMoto
2) - Confirm root
3) - Reboot into recovery (Download Holo Reboot from market to make it easier)
4) - Recovery reboot will mount RW permission
5) - Install MotoXposed
6) - Install Xposed
7) - In Xposed tap framework and Install/Update (reboot required, if it reboots on its own make sure you reboot recovery again)
8) - Then use motoxposed and make your changes and apply then reboot (remember to reboot recovery)
Should work fine now.
Can the xposed stuff change the NFC to where it's always polling, screen locked or off too?

not that i know of. Give it time, it may work its way in there.
Motoxposed doesn't let you adjust the new settings, but the is an xposed module that will. Open the xposed app and click download. You will see a whole list of modules to load. One of them is the nfc app.
Also gravity box, another module available in the downloads, adds about 20 quick tiles and lets you customize a ton of different things. With gravity box I finally have the maxx I wanted 3 weeks ago.

Can anyone get the Swype keyboard to actually be themed using XTheme? Doesn't seem to work for me, just the rest of the app is themed but the normal classic theme just comes out when I choose the Infinitum version from the list when I actually try to type.

Nova Launcher Transparent Status/Nav bar Support Req'd for Stock 4.3

Since SONY finally released 4.3 Stock firmware to Xperia series like L36h/L39h in early January, and Stock Launcher does support transparency for both status and navigation bar.
But using Nova Launcher, those bars still remains opaque, even we check the option "Transparent Notification Bar" in setting. So I submitted the request here to Nova Launcher team and request their support for Xperia Z under Stock 4.3. I need your help to vote for this request, and I would highly appreciate!

So I submitted the request here to Nova Launcher team and request their support for Xperia Z under Stock 4.3. I need your help to vote for this request, and I would highly appreciate!

yeah of course , cause u need xposed to install some files to system ,
by the way , i don't think that without root u can get transparent nav bar and status bar , nova launcher devs can't do anything about it ( they may get a walkthrough ) cause it is from sony's software , they have a type of black layer beside them so they want work without root
i don't know if this is true
if u rooted , check this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401&highlight=xperia+4+3
reed all op (of course do no mode without reading op) there is a quot for xperia at the top , download the xperia test version , install , download module mentioned at top , and system ui enable the feature

This tweak works only with the Stock-Launcher. It doesnt have any effect on Nova-Launcher.
It's really easy to set transparency to stock Xperia Home Launcher

For some reason I can't post a screenshots (or I get two attachments) but I'll attach photo.
I think I could MOD Home Launcher for you to have transparent status and navigation bar.
But...it'll only work in home screen and app drawer
And you'll get apk file you can easily install like any other app - without root.

Dudes, stop spamming and read the OP-Post!
We want transparency with Nova-Launcher, as it was before with 4.2.2

I've installed the 4.3 rom and I have the same problem. That's a shame. We have to wait for Nova developers to fix this
L.E. Using GEM Xperia Xposed worked.
ROOT only.
Go to GEM Xperia xposed -> System UI->Click on Enable Customizations -> App Settings-> Search for Nova Launcher-> Click on SystemUI Appearance-> Click on Transparent-> REBOOT
That worked for me!

Found this, and it works just fine. Just backup original SystemUI in case of any problems.

It doesn't work...when I replaced System UI (and I ensure I set correct permission), when the system reboot, it just reported error and System UI crashed. Do you use Stock 4.3?

I am using @niaboc79 4.3 eXistenZ Black Edition ROM based off stock 4.3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251512, and have had no crashes.
Are you using any other xposed modules that may conflict with SystemUI? As long as it was renamed to SystemUI, and pushed to /system/app then I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. If you get a log then maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself can help you out, or go back to the thread from the link and ask someone there.
You can use GEM xperia xposed 2.2.. In systemUi enable customizations, enter to globale settings and choose transparent in systemUi appearance then reboot.. Im using nova too in existanze rom look:

I installed GEM last night as well to regain transparency when I switched theme, and all is back to normal. Seems it's needed when using 3rd party themes.
May I ask what clock widget that is you're using?

Try enabling transparency in nova settings too.. U mean phone theme or nova theme?
With pleasure my friend, the Clock is holler.. Write "Holler uccw" in the playstore and you will find it, its free.

Sorry, by normal I meant all is transparent now with Nova. I'm using @Metallijim Red theme from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610056.
Using Sony theme's + Nova I didn't need GEM, just the modified SystemUI I posted about a few back.
Thanks for the clock widget name!

@cachanilla86
this won't install successfully if you don't have a Service.jar patch or the SuMOD which will bypass the signature verification!
it should work properly with root+deodex+patch without any FC, im on .761 Z1 i just tried both apps now and they both worked for me without any problem.
thanks for the port :good:
Thanks folks. Now it works flawlessly. Only one thing: It can be converted into a system app because it will force close
Is there any way to convert regular apps into system ones? I want to save some space on the internal storage!
thanks

Hello Master Cachanilla:
If you are root user, try installing Xposed Installer. Then install "Serajr Xperia Xposed". In the menú options of the module, choose "SYSTEM", then turn on the "Enable" option and finally check the "Super User Mode". That coould help
The explained steps (in spanish, by me) are available in HTCMania (Click Here).
Greetings.
