Kitkat 4.4.4 Lollipop makeover (Official Sony UI) - Sony Xperia E3

Hello everyone... this thread is basically about changing your stock 4.4.4 firmware to look like the Sony official lollipop UI. There are various steps involved in this and I have tried my best to put together the tweaks and customization and share them with the people who like the original xperia UI and can't wait for lollipop. Please thank people who have made all these apps, modules and different things, I just put them together and I'm not even seeking for credits... Thanks.
Prerequisites -
1. Xperia E3 (Any variant) or maybe even work on any xperia with kitkat installed.
2. FULL ROOT ACCESS (Really Important).
3. Internet (Just to download stuff)
4. A little knowledge about flashing (In case something goes wrong).
5. Patience...
So here we go...
Things Used -
1. Xposed modules used - APM+, blurred system ui, screen off animation, Eggster, Flat Style Colored Bars, GEM Xperia Xposed, Heads Up Notification, Monster UI, Unicon, Xperia Xposed (KK), Xstana. (Install them all and activate them in xposed framework.
2. More apps used - Xperia Material sh theme, Digital Clock Xperia (Widget), Lollipop Land (Eggster Game), Theme Xperia (Icon Pack), Numix Calculator, google messenger, google calendar.
3. Wallpapers (Link will be given)
Method -
1. Install the latest firmware for your phone (4.4.4) (Flash ftf with flashtool)
2. Rooting method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/development/twrp-twrp-recovery-sony-xperia-e3-t3071382 This is the kernel by @vinay which has inbuilt init.d support... after flashing this kernel just boot into TWRP recovery and flash superuser.zip (Search google for it)
3. After that, download the package from this given thread...this will help you to change your UI....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/themes-apps/variants-xperia-z3-theme-xperia-e3-t3065588
After downloading the package, extract it in a new folder and copy the folder with files you just extracted to your SD card in your phone... After that replace all these files in the folder with files in root/system/apps (leave out the skin-core.apk) Set permissions of recently replaced files to 644 (rw-r--r---) and reboot your phone... Now you should have a different kind of UI. (Credit goes to @kevinhecox99)

7. Unzip the wallpapers package and copy them to your SD card in your phone... Then copy those wallpapers to root/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers and change permission to 644 (rw-r--r---). Reboot and you'll see the wallpapers in the homescreen pinch option. Apply any of the new wallpapers ( I use the blue one)
8. Download the smart lockscreen app --------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-smartlockscreen-android-enjoy-t2919989 and install it... Set it up by yourself it's very easy.... and you're done... Everything is setup up and should be looking like the thing you see in my screenshots....

hi there, as you written there that twrp kernel have init.d built in it is wrong. it is not built in.
if you need init.d i can make an flashable package which enable init.d.

But whenever I flash that kernel, I don't need to use universal init.d When I used to install the CWM kernel... then I used to install universal init.d I don't understand.... It mounts everything during boot... It's like full root access...

Both cwm and twrp kernel use same thing,s but different recovery, s
If there is this thing happening then it must be due to something else than kernels.

Yes Kevin I used to get that message as well...that's basically after ticking the "Notification header layout" which is still experimental and buggy in this app and I have mentioned too that not to tick that option... If you haven't ticked that option and you're still getting the System UI error then I guess that it's something else.... If you could post the screen of the settings you've applied I could help you. And I wanted my phone to somewhat look like lollipop ui that's why I came across all these apps and modules and I figured that I should share it here as well so that some people who are looking for lollipop look on their kitkat devices they might find this a little helpful.

Monster ui is not working properly
Recent apps tiles are coming fine but there names are not coming
Please tell me how can I fix monster ui bug my, using d2212

[ROM][GTi9305][XXUENE4]27.6.2014[JB4.3] ▌Official Stock Rom ▌➤Rooted➤Customize guide!

[ROM][GTi9305][XXUENE4]27.6.2014[JB4.3] ▌Official Stock Rom ▌➤Rooted➤Customize guide!
Based on stock GTI9305 I9305XXUENE4 JB 4.3:
- Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Busybox added
- used AGNi or Boeffla Kernel
- isn’t cleaned from bloatware, but very battery friendly and smooth ...you can clean it yourself after following
- always locale CSC apps removed and unbranded
- without any mods, but read carefully following
Customize how you want an wish!
After install rom you can customize yourself with this guide:
Mods: easier way is use Xposed framework with Wanam Xposed. For example it included call recording, 4-way reboot menu, circle battery indicator and many many. Some screenshots also in attachment.
Very simple and short guide you'll find also in 2nd post.
Bloatware: you can do it yourself how you want through Es explorer or TitaniumBackup, what can you?, for example take inspiration from this post for S4, other you can find alone
Another and easier way is to use Rom cleaner according 2nd post (cleaning list attached)
Add-ons: last important thing is for me camera with hardware volume button, you can download and flash compatible Lite Camera mod from here. If you want add some another mod from i9300, you can me send link and I'll check compatibility, or modify for our model
All next it’s on your own risk!!!
Download:
I9305XXUENE4_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
Older Official Rom:
I9305XXUENC2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUENC1_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_6_SELPer
- used AGNi Kernel v3.6.0 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
Warning: if you before flash official Rom 4.3 via Odin you have new bootloader. You must on above Roms immediately after flash of Rom (before first boot) flash and then use right stock kernel from HERE!
I9305XXUENA2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51stable …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML9_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b13 …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML8_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b122 .....if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b7 …..if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgd_Boeffla51b4 ...attention this is version without 5 Shortcuts on LockScreen!!!
Install:
- first of all backup all your data from internal SD card, 4.3 has different structure tree!!!
- if you go from 4.1.2 or older I recommend format internal card, if you don’t do it, on internal card were by me still data (DCIM etc...) and you can’t normal access them on 4.3, but even without formatting you can later move them from old folder to new one in 4.3 with Aroma file manager , for me easer way without format. Also is possible, that date will move automatically – also me happened
- bee sure, that you have EFS backup!!!
- create NanDroid backup to external card!!!
- download the *.zip file to external card!
- if you have new Bootloader download also Stock kernel
- download to Recovery
- ROM isn’t full wipe, but is recommended if you get from 4.1.2 and older
- wipe cache and Dalvik cache is automatically included in last version
- select ZIP file from external card and install
- don’t use re-root after installation inside recovery - you don’t need it, if you'll do, then you need install again SU apk from market
- reboot and wait and wait ...
- enjoy it
PS: if you get format system() error in CWM use last PhilZ Recovery
Note: if your camera doesn't work primary follow this (thanks @Hbohd and @P$T), if you don't have incriminated file, flash again Rom then immediately right Stock kernel from HERE - wifi doesn't work with old bootloader, then take photo, then flash again Rom without full wipe with kernel which you like. If your camera still doesn't work flash some Rom 4.1.2 (via Recovery or Odin) take picture, grab and backup incriminated files, then flash this Rom and put them to data/cwm. Don't forget backup your SlimISP_XX.bin for future. Problem with camera have average only cca 10 users JB 4.3 of 1000 usr..
Info for dev's:
If you want this Rom, or part, use as base for your Rom, just give me credit to your OP
Credits:
@psndna88 for AGNi kernel
@Hbohd for ported Boeffla kernel and his team btw. @P$T ...you must give him THX! He was first who ported and provide for us kernel for JB 4.3

Guide Rom cleaner:
- download ROM Cleaner v2.0 from original Rom cleaner post
- download user cleaning list ROMCleaner_user.txt from attachment
- edit ROMCleaner_user.txt only with OfficeSuite directly in mobile or Notepad ++ how you want
….this is "hardcore" cleaning list (I thing more isn’t possible). You can also it edit only with Notepad++. See into list what you want leave in your Rom a add in front of some *.apk this letter # may not be red . I wanted for example leave AccuweatherWidget.apk, then It will bee so #AccuweatherWidget.apk . Or leave another how it’s and you’ll get cleanest and fastest Rom.
- create on external card folder ../ROMCleaner (must bee exactly named), put there ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and list ROMCleaner_user.txt from atachment
- reboot to recovery and flash ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and use it, list will be automatically loaded and Rom cleaned from cca 330 Mb (more than 180 apks and files)
What remains after cleaning is seen in attachment.
You should NOT remove KNOX Apps if you´r on NEW BOOTLOADER! Use ROMCleaner_user - for users with Knox Bootloader.txt from attachment and after download rename it for ROMCleaner_user.txt
Nearer guide how it use you’ll find in original Rom cleaner thread
If you something screw up, nothing happened, flash again Rom without wipe
Good luck.

The speed of mediafire is very slow. A mirror for this rom?

Envoyé de mon GT-I9305 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes, without problem.
Hmm. The camera doesn't work for me. Coming from full wipe.

Strange, by me without problem, sorry but I dont know, how how can I help you for now
Edit: maybe try this
Edit2: user @braigl also confirmed to me per PM (hi cant write to develop section) that "camera working without problem"
Did you wait, after reboot, until is complete system and sd card loaded? it will take some time after first start, we must bee patient .... till now it downloaded over 400 people and nobody written to me problem with camera
Edit3 : i thing this is final solution for you ... link thanks @P$T and @Hbohd
I tried to flash kernel but end up not booting up the phone. I used both mobile odin and cwm but same results. What am i doing wrong here?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk
And what kernel? For repair again flash Rom (isn't full wipe), it should be OK, hope. I'm out of home, I can't try it
Edit: for now I found a little time, and tried flash this newest CWM i9305-Boeffla-5.1-beta5-by-hbohd-20131219.zip and no problem ....my woman screaming leave your phone

V1 Changelog (16/10/2014):
Initial release! ^_^
Requirements:
.157 Firmware
Rooted
Know how to flash or replace files
What's Themed:
System Background and Permission Icons (framework-res.apk)
System Icons - Notification and etc (SystemUi.apk)
Contacts (Phonebook.apk)
Dialer (SemcPhone.apk)
System Settings (Settings.apk)
Clock\Alarm\Timers (SemcClock.apk)
Recent Apps Viewer and Small Apps Launcher (SmallAppsLauncher.apk)
Conversations (Conversations.apk)
Apk Installer (PackageInstaller.apk)
Update Center (UpdateCenter.apk)
Sound Picker (Sound-Picker.apk)
White Balance Settings (white-balance.apk)
Smart Connect (liwewaremanager.apk)
Theme Chooser (skin-core.apk)
Calculator (Calculator.apk)

Misc Apks (HotspotAdvancedSettings.apk, LocationBasedWifi.apk, ReadyToRun.apk)
Features:
Dark (but not pure black) themed apps for more comfortable usage.
I find that pure black apps put more strain on eyes than dark grey. Perhaps caused by high white\black contrast.
Dark holo background.
I really liked holo background, even if it has some color banding. Imho looks much better than plain black\grey image.
Based on Z1 Compact apk's.
I.e. apk utilises icons and images native for our xdpi resolution.
All themed apk's are up to date.
If not, please, PM me
No tabs in Notifications.
Just because =)
ZipAligned.
Works both on Odex and Deodex.

@XperienceD: For the topic template and consultations. Thx mate! :good:​
Fixed Download link.
just flashed, tried all the features and they're working great
just two things
1. on the recent apps launcher, there are small white borders around each of the small app icons that are superfluous (would look better if they weren't there)
2. i used to have a system UI mod that allowed 6 icons (without text) on the notification panel which i prefer. reflashed it over your mod and managed to get it back
Works very nice, much thanks. Any chance you can change the messaging app to black as well?
This looks great and I'd really love to try it. But dev-host is always slow AF for me. This is a big problem for me when I try to download "large" files. Getting like 5KB/s download. Would take hours to get the file. Would appreciate a mirror.
Removed link as requested.

Yea, any mods that were applied to any of the themed apk's will be lost, such as additional menus in Settings or full-screen CallerId. Nothing I can do, that's the way world works :\

You can also find at the link black Conversations.apk, DocumentsUI.apk and SemcEmail.apk from this thread [MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014). I just copied them to system/app and system/priv-app and set proper permissions, rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik.

Actually, one of the reasons that I've decided to make my mod was that "[MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014)" is based on Z1 (not Z1 Compact) apps, so it doesn't have all the proper xdpi icons and images, as Z1 is a xxdpi device. Not that I do not appreciate work @laginoo has done. :good:
thank you ... no border version of the recent apps launcher would be great, as would the Documents/Downloads UI
there were also some other (but less commonly used) menu items that still appear white: sub-menus in Personalization, Ringtone/Notification sound selector, Complete Action with dialog, etc. and if you had time to spare it'd be great if you could darken these as well!
thanks for all your efforts!

Having some issues with dialer/contacts (I think) but don't know if it's from your theme or some other modifications I did. There is no dial button in portrait mode, only in landscape. Are you having this issue as well?
Edit: Also white version (I believe these are the original ones) gives error while trying to flash in both TWRP and CWM. I also tried downloading again with no luck.
Had the same issue, navigation bar disappeared after proper installation. Had to back up data

Hmm... Did you install framework-res.apk from my mod?
Hi! Yes I selected "all files" at each step of the installation. I just retried, still no nav bar nor status. Strange. I use Gravity Box, Gem Xperia and Xperia xposed ! Might interfere ?
D5503 UB jfxperias' KitSlim_AMG
To make it clear is navbar those softkeys with back, home and recent? If yes I'm not complaining about those. I hid those on purpose and I'm using gestures. I'm taking about the green phone icon not present in portrait mode, that's my problem.
Edit: OK so my problem was exactly from hiding softkeys and not from your mod. Once I enabled them back phone icon is visible again in portrait mode.
unable to sideload apk
after installing v2 of this mod, I've not been able to sideload apk files. the usual "install" dialog appears, but after clicking "install" I get an error message saying my file manager cannot open the file
i've tried this with different file managers, same problem. anyone else experiencing this issue?
Yes ! I have also the bug when trying to install an apk with a file manager ... problem could be on PackageInstaller.apk ... i' m downloading the white restore package (should be stock) and will try to flash only this apk ...
If not working will restore my cwm backup and will try to replace apk with stock ..
Give u report after... :highfive:

think you may be right (about the fact that is is packageinstaller.apk) ... let me know how your workaround goes
i am still able to install apks via terminal and adb, just not via file manager. other sideloading attempts, e.g. via the Xposed client also don't work after installing this mod

So @TheQwertiest i think you have a bug in package installer apk
Thanks for you work

I'm so sorry guys!!! I know what the problem is with package installer - PackageInstaller.odex file is missing. Also there is a typo in restore package, so it won't even start flashing.
I want to fix it as fast as I can, but I'm in Japan currently without my PC, so can't do anything till I return...
I will roll the fix as soon as I return (around 8th November).
Sorry again and thx for those bug reports!

To give a honest answer - NO (Because THERE IS NO STABLE KITKAT KERNEL)
But this is ROM is tweaked well to give you better battery backup
I have got battery backup of 8 to 8 hours 30 minutes depending on usage. (It depends on user)
Please make sure you calibrate your phone after first boot with battery calibration app from play store
Im sure you will get normal battery backup
I hope it helps....
Nice ROM,smooth stable but I don't feel its ui reliefing,
Mystic's ui was better, it's icons are some were oval shaped looks cheap, example icons @ recent apps/task manager setting and close all apps
Over all nice ROM with android l feel
Bug
Navigation bar doesn't work when phone is in landscape position, n battery backup is good

Installed the ROM today, Look wise its nice....good work on that......
01. Battery has issues, while installing the ROM and During first reboot, Battery dropped by 40 Units. Will update after charging the full and the using to MAX.
02. Although I have changed the wallpaper, I am still getting ramdom system UI crash error.
03. Can not access SD card with Memory Card mode on Mobile, System UI is crashing while trying to enable USB Storage, while phone is connected to PC.
04. Tried installing Outlook, from Appstore, again system UI crash issue. Was able to do this after multiple attempts. Basically I am getting System UI Crash anytime I try installing apps from App Store. Is there any GAPPS available for this?????
I just trying to understand if i have done anything wrong while installing the ROM or its something which needs to be fixed.
I have installed Rom,V2, and Patch.....
But Neverthless, Gr8 job bro...we always need people like you to give us more reasons to keep using Android.....

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][LOS14.1][7.1.2_r29] DARK ROM [OMS][Pixel features]

Hi guys,
I'm building an extra lean LineageOS 14.1 ROM for mido with a few added features. A lot of packages have been stripped down, only the bare minimum is built to provide a fast and stable ROM. That gives you much more freedom as you can install exactly what you really want from the Playstore. You can install most of the missing packages manually, they are available in a flashable zip on the server (see second post).
The work on this ROM is done by @Dark_Eyes_ he is been working too hard too add some extra features on this ROM. Thanks for this best ROM.
My approach for DARK ROM 14.1 is slightly different than for DARK ROM 13, as I try to add as many Pixel features as possible while keeping a solid LineageOS base.
Key features
- Full OMS support (rootless)
- Signature spoofing support
- Pixel Launcher (with the provided GAPPS package)
- Pixel animated navbar (with on/off switch)

- Choose between dialer and voice assistant in lockscreen
- Hide next alarm from expanded status bar and lockscreen
- Disable the boot animation sound

- Double tap the lock icon on the lockscreen to sleep
- Longpress power button while screen off to trigger flashlight
- Hide bluetooth icon when disconnected
- Volume steps
- Quick unlock pin/password
- Remove album art from lockscreen
- Date in status bar
- Battery bar
- Smart pulldown
- Volume button controls media volume anywhere
- Change navbar height
- Screenshot tile
- Caffeine tile
- Sync tile
- Reboot/recovery tile
- Music tile
- USB Tethering tile

- Choose doze brightness
- Adjust animation scale precisely with a slider
- Dynamic nav bar color (changes color to the same of status bar)
- In-call vibration options (on connect, on call waiting and on disconnect)
SafetyNet
The ROM is already designed to pass SafetyNet out of the box. No need to lock the bootloader (which I advise you to do ONLY on a pure factory image install) because the kernel has the patch for it. If you want root, you'll need to install Magisk, which comes pre-rooted. Then, enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager, hard reboot and you should be good to go. Also, do not enable busybox in Magisk Manager, that will cause you to randomly lose root. You'll get all you need to know on the Magisk thread.
ViPER4Android/ViPER4Arise
The ROM is designed to work with both ViPER4Android and ViPER4Arise out of the box without the need for SuperSU or any Magisk module. The SEPolicy already contains the necessary permissions for them to work even in Enforcing. All you need to do is flash the package of your choice.
Installation
You will need latest radio and latest bootloader
Latest TWRP recovery is highly recommended
If you want HDR to work, you will need to keep Google Camera 3.2.045 (all newer versions won't work)
If coming from any other ROM
- Backup first... always backup first
- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
- Install DARK ROM
- Install provided GAPPS (mandatory)
- Install root package of your choice (I recommend Magisk)
Enjoy !
If coming from a previous build of mine
- Backup (you know it)
- Dirty flash DARK ROM
- Install root package of your choice
Enjoy! (if anything goes wrong, clean flash)

Extra Packages
On the server you will find a file named ExtraPackages_date.zip which contains a few apps that are not available out of the box in my builds (see list). You won't have to flash it every update, since there is a survival script. I suggest you open the zip and remove the files you don't need before flashing it the first time.
Here is what's included:
- Calendar (AOSP Calendar)
- Contacts (AOSP Contacts)
- DeskClock (AOSP Clock)
- Dialer (AOSP Dialer)
- Eleven (LOS Music player)
- ExactCalculator (LOS Calculator)
- Gallery2 (AOSP Photos)
- Jelly (LOS Browser)
- LatinIME (AOSP Keyboard)
- Messaging (AOSP SMS)
- Recorder (LOS Recorder)
- Snap (LOS Camera)
- Stk (AOSP SIM card toolkit)
- Trebuchet (LOS Launcher)
Note that if you install my GAPPS and the complete Extras package, you'll end up with two Phone app and two Contacts apps. Simply delete the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer in the system/priv-app and reboot. If you choose to use the AOSP Dialer instead of Google Dialer, you'll need to go to Settings/Apps/Gear Icon (top right) and choose the AOSP Dialer as default phone app, otherwise you won't be able to make calls.

I missed the chance of trying that after first setup. But during first setup, I setup the screen lock and fingerprint together and it worked fine.
Used this rom with my Nexus 5, was awesome! Cant wait to rock it again, thanks Dev!

Try to use the one which includes Keyboard. I tried nano but there was no keyboard on first setup.

There is no Launcher in this ROM because we have made it minimal. You need to install GApps provided in OP to make it working.
OK, below is my review with this ROM. The experience may vary from user to user. I am just an average user with a keen eye for battery and performance.
The ROM without the Extras zip includes very little applications that is good.
The included GApps, I think, is necessary, as using standard Nano GApps, I ended up without a keyboard on first setup.
The read/write performance of the ROM is really good. I was amazed by how quickly it restored my messages and calls as compared to other ROMs.
The app opening speed, however, seemed a little slow. It has some kind of lag. Like, it waits for half a second when you click an icon and then loads the application which seemed annoying sometimes.
The built in camera is just average like with other ROMs. Google Camera Port is working fine with it.
The battery timing is good. But, I think, could have been better for idle.
Overall, a good combination of features and simplicity. The animations are smooth enough for my brain therapy.

I am the maintainer of this ROM and asked the dev if I can build it. He has given me permission to build it but to make it official is not on me.
Let's wait for sometime and see if he allows me to make an official build. But there is no difference in official and unofficial so you can use it without any hiccups.
Please upload your default boot animation so that I can check it with the source.
