Hi folks
I found an interesting sony audio/image processing mods which might help in enhancing the sound/volume on out U8800. It's also reported that it increases the volume of the device and remove little distortion or noise
For image and video
1)Download attachment.(Bravia_ Engine_file)
2)Extract files on phone and put they in the directory:
Code:
/system/etc
3)Open /system/build.prop with a text editor (like RootExplorer)
and add these lines at the end:
Code:
#Bravia Engine Service
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
4)Save the file and Exit
5)Set the right permissions or open a terminal emulator and execute:
Code:
su
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie
6)Fully Reboot the device and enjoy BRAVIA
Give it a try.
Flash it in Clockworkmod recovery

Do this really works or is just a placebo?
Bro try it then tell me I use this and I think it is nice sound on handfree and bt handfree is good
Placebo. This was already discussed over at sgs2 section. We dont have the needed framework for those mods to work, they exist only in Sony firmwares.

TWRP v2.8.6.0 (fota) with F2FS for: Z1, Z1c, Z2, Z3, Z3c, TabZ3c(LTE&WIFI)
Thanks to funiewski who inspired me/ teached me how to repack Z2 twrp to work with z1 and z1c.
This ain't my work! I've just been cooking with projects made by others. Thank TeamWin, [NUT], creator of Android Image Kitchen, and others
Use at your own risk!
Seems like fota TWRP for sirius (Z2) will boot on all these phones: Z1, Z1c, Z2 (offcourse), Z3, Z3c and TabletZ3c (both LTE and WIFI version)!
When repacked with res/ and default.prop from NUTs dual recovery, we got TWRP for each specific device.
Download folder:
Edit 25. september 2021: Please consider using newer recoveries than these old ones.
Officially supported Sony devices: https://twrp.me/Devices/Sony/
Includes Z1 (honami), Z2 (sirius), Z3 Compact (z3c), Z3 Tablet Compact Wi-Fi (scorpion_windy)
Unofficial
Z1 Compact (amami), by 115ek: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/3960699/

Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...ourcekey=0-0_o2xNplFlKcnt4IaxrUdg&usp=sharing
What is this?
This is a repacked TWRP from Z2 sirius, where I have:
- Added f2fs support by adding mkfs.f2fs and fsck.f2fs from blastagators TWRP.
- Shrinked images in twres/images folder. It wouldn't boot on my Z1c otherwise.
- Switched res folder and default.prop from respective ones from [NUT]s XZDualRecovery
More info? See recepy down below
Works for?
ONLY: Unlocked bootloader, AOSP based ROMs with support for booting a recovery from the FOTA partition.
Stock ROM, locked or unlocked bootloader: See [NUT]s project: http://nut.xperia-files.com/
How to install?
There are many ways in doing so. Fastboot: "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" is the easiest IMO
Bugs?
Me and others have tested it, only bug atm seems to be:
- Can't adjust screen brightness in TWRP
Report if you find anything
Can you fix bugs?
Most probably not. If you find bugs regarding layout, images and stuff like that: Maybe.
This is not compiled, this is just repacked using Android Image Kitchen.
Bugs in this recovery will most probably be bugs that all TWRP builds share.
f2fs does not work!!
Yes it does. The recovery will format any partition to f2fs for you. But you need a compitable kernel to use it. Don't ask me for compitable kernels, google it.
Migrate to f2fs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3004755
How to use f2fs on Sony Devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3056740
Recepy
Just repacking the Z2 recovery with f2fs-files will make a un-bootable IMG. I believe this is due to some limitations regarding size or something.
In order to get the file size down I made a new, simple "curtain.jpg". Plain black with the text "TWRP". Kind of clean and simplistic when I think about it And I found out that these PNGs can be compressed without getting grapchical glitches:
Code:
- file.png
- folder.png
- keyboard (all)
- medium-button.png
- menu-button.png
- slideout.png
- slider-touch.png
- slider.png
- unlock.png
How I did it:
- DL TWRP for Z2 (sirius), Android Image Kitchen, [NUT]s XZDualRecovery flashable for your device, and blastagators TWRP for LG G2
- Unpack blastergator TWRP with Android Image Kitchen. (drag'n'drop .IMG on to the "unpack.bat")
- In ramdisk/sbin "steal" these two files: mkfs.f2fs and fsck.f2fs. Store them some place safe.
- Cleanup Android Image Kitchen folder. (cleanup.bat)
- Open XZDualRecovery with 7zip. Go to system/bin. Open the twrp file. "Steal" the res/ folder and the default.prop file. Store it somewhere safe.
- Unpack TWRP for Z2 with Android Image Kitchen
- Change images in ramdisk/twres/images with these (they are compressed. Unless you use them the img won't boot: https://mega.co.nz/#!e9g1TRCI!vmGsPqVdqSnpcW6G8PC_saLLyyfqTL-1FhjQmggVvxA)
- Add mkfs.f2fs and fsck.f2fs to ramdisk/sbin.
- Replace res folder and default.prop with the ones from XZDualRecovery
- Repack with "Android Image Kitchen". (Double click on "repack.bat")

You guys so funy use only ONE repacked images for all other devices which have different resolutions and different kernel base
UPDATE: Packed a individual recovery for each device, with /res folder and default.prop taken from [NUT]s XZDualRecovery. Installing amami CM with sirius recovery gets aborted..
Does this work with the Z3 tablet (scorpion-windy)?

It would probably boot, but installs of ROMs and similar would be aborted because device id on flashable zips would not match device id of recovery.
If you modify build.prop to fit your device, I bet it would work
EDIT: Made a img for tablet z3c. I believe both 4g and WIFI-version can use the same recovery (CM uses same device ID in their build.prop)
EDIT: Separate recovery.img is up for scorpion and scorpion_windy.

could you build a second one for tabz3c with "scorpion_windy" device ID? the scorpion one does not flash cm12.1 on my SGP611.
2 Bugs I found:
-Inability to shut off the screen. Even happens when device displays the power (full screen picture of battery). This bug doesn't affect [NUT]'s recovery.
-TWRP crashes whenever you try booting to recovery via charging cable without the system attempting to boot to Android (in other words, turning on the phone with the power cable rather than the power button). The only way out is to hard reset.

Yep. Asked in the Z2 TWRP thread, Z2 owners don't have these bugs. Might be because we use z2 related stuff (kernel base) for other phones. If I learn to compile in future this should be fixed afaik. But as far as i know, there is nothing I can do (in regards of repack with other stuff) to fix these bugs.

I lack knowledge with TWRP+Recoveries+Pretty much a lot of things, but couldn't you repack NUT's recovery and try porting it to Lollipop? Maybe exclude Philz's version if it conflicts...?
Hi,
is it possible, to make also a Version for the Xperia ZL?
thanks for the scorpion_windy build! :good:
unlock with material theme has some troubles. i need to get the right line on the screen for wipe to work and also then it takes several tries.
TWRP 2.8.6.1 supposedly brings support for encryption (on bacon at least) [1]. Has anyone played with that on a sony device yet? Maybe created a first package to test?

Newer firmware for Xperia Z4 Tablet, Z5, Z5 Compact, Z5 Premium have FC problem after you install Xposed framework.
This is caused by error at com.sonymobile.camera.addon.common.marketmode.MarketModeListLoaderInterface.
As this is odex problem, maybe rovo can't fix it.
(he said he can't if error is caused by currupted odex file in issue thread for other Xperia device, I'll make new issue)
So, how to fix manually?
1. Download JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer
2. Copy your framework and priv-app dir in /system to PC (you can extract from FTF or your device)
3. We don't need to deodex all apps, so delete all dirs in priv-app other than CameraCommon
4. Delete arm dir in priv-app/CameraCommon dir
5. Deodex with JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer
6. Push deodexed CameraCommon.apk to system
By adb:
Code:
adb push CameraCommon.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
dd if=/data/local/tmp/CameraCommon.apk of=/system/priv-app/CameraCommon/CameraCommon.apk
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/CameraCommon.apk
rm -rf /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/arm
rm -rf /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/arm64
7. That's it, reboot and your camera should work now.
NOTE
When you installed Xposed at the first time, first two-three booting will be bootlooop, but it's needed for preparing (for now).
Just wait for normal boot.
I had similar problem on other apps!
Some of other Sony apps have same problem.
You can fix them by same way as camera.

any help?
Worked on z5c with 32.0.A.6.200. I had to wipe cache and dalvik though. Now my album app FCs and sometimes takes the whole system with it.

You have a classes.dex file in your deodexed CameraCommon.apk ?
What is its size ?
I'm on jre8, lbd 2.5, sgp771 firmware 260
Some users report the androplus method works but they don't give their specs
May be there is another system app to be deodexed for the CameraCommon app to work.

I can not answer your question since my Windows7 virtual machine where I tried the fix is out of reach for me atm.
I still get the error message "camera.common stopped working" even though I deactivated the camera app.
The whole thing is not a big deal for me since the Google camera app works and I shoot my photos with serious equipment anyway and not with a tablet.

Thanks. Before asking I followed the guide, but my phone bootloops, and I think it's because I'm not on the latest FW release (I checked only fot OTA updates).
I'll try again after I update to 32.0.A.6.200, and see if it goes well.
Meanwhile, in case there's someone interested - like Mr_Bartek (that actually asked for the Z5) - I've attached an already deodexed CameraCommon.apk from my Z5C.

When you installed Xposed at the first time, first two-three booting will be bootlooop, but it's needed for preparing (for now).
Quick Question: I think the app "Album" (dont know the englisch name), anyway, I mean the official app from Sony where you can view your photos, has to be deoxed as well. Because I cant open it.
I did it. Here's my advices to make Xposed and Sony camera work on Z5C.

That's right, but I want to point out some things from my experience: on 32.0.A.6.152 bootloops keep occurring indefinitely. For me the right combination was updating to 32.0.A.6.200, then installing a different kernel to keep root and TWRP, and then following the instructions in this thread.
Also, if you update your firmware you have to check that you have ADB debug active, ADB shell with root permissions, and busybox correctly installed.
For anyone's convenience here's the files I used with success.
ROM: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/126-sony-xperia-z5-compact-e5823
Kernel: https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html
I've also attached the deodexed CameraCommon.apk for Z5C, so you can follow AndroPlus' guide from the 6th point.
