Iocean x7GammaRomHello everybody, I prepared a new custom rom compatible with ANY Iocean x7 based on latest stock firmware for Iocean Elite (02/12 version). I implemented Aroma Installer from Gamma v1.2 onwards and rom zip is now the same for any Iocean x7 (Youth, Youth Turbo, Plus, Elite).
Read carefully first two posts before flashing in order to get the best experience using this rom:
post #1 is related to rom's features and installation instructions
post #2 contains a brief post-installation guide on how to configure it at best.
Report here your feedbacks both positive or negative, they'll both help me to improve this rom in the future! :highfive:

Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I suggest you to backup your IMEI too. The easiest and safest way to do this is simply writing both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information).
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard
Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:
ATTENTION: REPARTITIONING WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD
Click on "Repartition" and choose desired /data partition size (rom stock value is 1.5GB for any iocean model)
Installation process WILL NOT INSTALL ROM (only resize /data)
Reboot into your ORIGINAL ROM, you should get an error message as the one below (if you don't get this message, just skip this point):
Click on "Reset phone" (this will reboot into recovery) and wait until it automatically reboot into your original rom again
You now need to reboot into recovery to install GammaRom v1.2 (you only repartitioned your original rom so far). You can do this in 3 different ways (choose only one):
Quick way ---> Switch your phone off, connect it to your pc, push power button + volume up button at the same time until you enter recovery
Geek way ---> You can skip Google account login (if asked to login) tapping on upper left corner of the screen then upper right corner, botton right corner and finally botton left corner. Once skipped google signing in, reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Dummy way ---> Login with your Google account (if asked to login) and reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Congratulation, you successfully repartitioned your phone. :highfive: You can now follow this guide from point 3 onwards (wipe data, cache, dalvik and install rom zip) this time choosing "Do nothing" instead of "Repartition".
Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide
In order to get the best experience from this rom, read guide below:
AVOID CRAP IMPORTANT!!
Absolutely DO NOT install crappy apps on this rom: NO RAM Booster apps, NO task killers, NO Clean Master, no apps that just consume ram, increase wakelocks and produce lags.
Any kind of task killer will heavily increase lags on this rom whose background apps are already handled by its optimizations scripts. This kinda app will only create conflicts.
Remember to not install AdAway (or similar) neither because this rom has an AdBlock already included. If possible avoid Antivirus too, IMO they're not really necessary on Android.
Resolution Changer
What is it?
This is a series of scripts written by me which will let you change iocean x7 resolution from 1080x1920 to any other value lower than stock. At the same time it gives you the possibility to change dpi according to your preferences.
Why should you use this?
Reducing resolution will boost your performances from different point of views: first of all smoother scrolling, faster interface, lower ram usage and probably even a better battery life (I still need to check this one).
Anyways these scripts are not meant to permanently reduce your resolution, but only in case of need: you can switch to lower resolution when you need to increase performances (for example for gaming) and switch back to stock 1080p resolution as performances boost is no longer needed.
Everything is made completely automatic through these scripts, you just need to launch them and follow instructions.
I know that this could be done through an app, but first of all that app is for pay in my country (that's why I created this), secondly an app consumes ram, this script does not! :laugh:
Is there any drawback?
Yes, lowering resolution will temporarily make your menu, home and back button unavailable. They will stop working until you switch back to 1080p resolution: it's not possible to make them work at lower resolutions, that's why this script automatically enables software keys.
Moreover some apps may not be shown correctly depending on resolution used; here a few examples:
-Xperia Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 720p resoution (720x1280)
-Apex Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 600p resoution (600x1066)
-Swiftkey keyboard doesn't show properly at lower resolution (use GammaRom stock keyboard)
- [...]
You simply need to change launcher/keyboard if the one you're using is not completely compatible with requested resolution.
How can you change resolution?
I made it simple for you, just read hidden instructions below!
First of all launch Android Terminal Emulator app and enter one of these commands (first time you launch this script, it'll ask for root privilages):
Code:
resolution width height dpi
Sets resolution to (width)x(height) and dpi to (dpi). For example you can type in terminal emulator the following:
Code:
resolution 720 1280 320
entering this will set resolution to 720x1280 and dpi to 320dpi that are typical values for 720p screens (Samsung Galaxy S3, ...)
Code:
resolution 1080 1920 480
entering this will set resolution to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi that are typical values for 1080p screens (Iocean x7 stock values, ...)
With this command (resolution width height dpi) You can set resolution to any value you want. Of course be reasonable: you have a 16:9 screen so (height)/(width) should always be around 16:9. You can start from 1080p stock values (1080 1920 480) and divide these three number by the same quantity. For example, dividing by 1.2, another good working command would be:
Code:
resolution 900 1600 400
which will set resolution to 900x1600 and dpi to 400dpi. Everything clear? Hope it is! You can experiment as many resolution as you wish and find out which one is the best for your usage.
In addition to "resolution width height dpi" command, I prepared other 5 easy to use scripts that you can launch simply typing:
Code:
1080p
it's the same as "resolution 1080 1920 480" (reverts back to stock Iocean values)
Code:
900p
it's the same as "resolution 900 1600 400"
Code:
720p
it's the same as "resolution 720 1280 320"
Code:
600p
it's the same as "resolution 600 1066 260"
Code:
500p
it's the same as "resolution 500 890 220"
These 5 scripts (1080p, 900p, 720p, 600p, 500p) can be used with "f" option (where "f" stands for "fast"). Let's make an example:
Code:
1080p f
typing "1080p f" in terminal emulator resolution will be quickly set to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi without any waste of time. Resolution script has a lot of checks that ensures that you know what you're doing and that explains in details what the script is doing. Typing in android terminal "resolution 1080 1920 480" or "1080p" or "1080p f" will revert back to stock resolution in all three cases, but the last one (1080p f) will do it more quickly.
The same for "900p f", "720p f", "600p f", "500p f": they switch to 900p, 720p, 600p and 500p resolution more quickly than without typing "f".
Here's a screen just to give you an idea on how it looks like:
How can you revert back to stock Iocean resolution?
Simply launch Android Terminal emulator and type:
Code:
1080p
or
Code:
1080p f
In case of issues of any kind that make this procedure unavailable, flash following zip in recovery (only in case of emergency, otherwise use procedure described above):
Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip
AdBlock
GammaRom has an embedded AdBlocking service which will prevent most part of adverts/malicious websites from showing. Sometimes its action may be unwanted (it may block safe websites that you intentionally want to visit). That's why I created this simple script that gives you the possibility to switch between 3 different adblocking according to your needs.
Launch Android Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
adblock
Folllow instructions and choose your preferred AdBlocking:
No adblocking (Iocean x7 stock rom default)
AdAway adblocking (Light and fast adblocking - Gamma v1.2 default)
Mother of All AD-BLOCKING by BSDgeek_Jake (slightly higher ram usage, but very aggressive and complete adblocking: blocks almost any Ads - Gamma v1.0 default)
Sometimes AdAway and Mother of All Adblocking may block even safe websites from showing; if this happen to you, launch terminal emulator and disable all adblocking (option 1) and enable them again when you want them back (option 2 or 3).
Battery Life
Here you can find 3 advices that will greatly improve your phone Battery Life:
Die Hard Battery Calibrator (by zeppelinrox)
I included in this rom Die Hard Battery Calibrator script developed by zeppelinrox. Follow instructions below to take the max out of your battery:
Charge your phone till 100%
Keep phone plugged in, launch terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
BatteryCalibrator
Follow instructions (wait until phone voltages overcomes 4200mV, then type "A" which will reboot your phone after 20minutes (leave it plugged in still) )
Once rebooted, you can type BatteryCalibrator in terminal emulator again and check voltage and battery percentage (just to check, this step is not really fundamental)
Unplug your phone (shown voltage will go down a bit) and use it the whole day until it turns off (battery percentage shown may not be real since you just deleted batterystats)
Recharge till 100%
Use your phone!
Google Location service
Disabling this will improve your battery life a lot; especially if you don't need it (if you need it, try to keep it disabled when not necessary).
Launch Settings > Location Access > Disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
Monitor Wakelocks
I included Wakelock Detector app developed by ahikmat in this rom. This app lets you check which app or service is draining your battery generating wakelocks (high number of wakelocks = high battery drain).
Launch Wakelock Detector app > go into settings > enable advanced mode > Check whether any suspicious/unwanted app is generating wakelocks.
You can find a detailed guide on how to use this app in original thread linked above.
GravityBox
GravityBox is an Xposed module which uses Xposed framework to apply real time modifications to your system. This gives you the possibility to customize your android device according to your needs.
Once you've installed this rom, launch GravityBox app (or go to Settings>GravityBox if you prefer) and mod your Iocean as you wish: most part of modifications will be applied immediately, part of them may require reboot to become effective.
Viper4Android
This mod gives you the possibility to enhance audio quality and volume in a quite surprisingly way if configured properly.
Once installed this rom, launch Viper4Android, give it root access and click on "Yes" at V4A Driver Update request. Choose desired installation type (keep in mind that this will affect battery life) and reboot. Once rebooted you're now ready to customize your phone's audio response according to your tastes: launch Viper4Android and enable Viper4Android features as you wish in the three fields Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth Device.
In order to further edit the audio, it's possible to download (free or paid) some Impulse Response Samples (IRS); see the thread below for a detailed guide and further details about it:
[V4A][IRS] Impulse Response Sample Index Thread
If you're lazy and don't wanna read that guide, just download the following IRS starter pack, unzip it and put all *.irs files in the path /sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel (this path will be automatically created by V4A app once you install drivers). All these *.irs files will become selectable in Convolver field inside V4A app.
IRS Starter Pack.zip
Xposed Framework
Xposed Framework app has a "Download" section where you can upgrade existing xposed modules (eg: GravityBox) everytime their developer releases a new version or even download new modules from the list to add new features. Be careful though: some of them are incompatible with each other and other are only device specific (Samsung, HTC, ...) and won't work on your phone. Moreover too many xposed modules may slow down system according to my personal experience.
GravityBox already covers most part of other modules features, but another good module is "App Settings" which, for example, will give you the possibility to set different DPI for each app.
GPS
GPS connection had a perceivable improvement with latest kernel and modules and I added some optimizations that will help too. To make it work properly you'll need to modify the first lines of gps.conf in /system/etc path with specific servers for your country.
Inside gps.conf you'll find these servers that work good for Italy:
Code:
# Italy ===============================
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
If you live in Europe, just edit the first with the one for your country, otherwise you'll need to edit both. Leave all the rest of gps.conf file exactly as it is, just edit these lines. You can find a list of servers for any country here.
For example if you live in Slovakia (Europe) first lines of build.prop would become something like this:
Code:
# Slovakia ============================
NTP_SERVER=sk.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
In order to speed up gps fix, open Settings>Location Access and enable EPO (download epo data too), A-GPS, GPS and launch Location Engineering menu. Once in Location Engineering Mode, go to GPS tab and enable GPS to scan satellites (need to be outside to find any). After a few minutes it should start fixing satellites (first ever fix will take longer) and you should be finally able to use Iocean x7 GPS.
Another advice I can give you is to use Copilot as navigation app!
If it still doesn't work the only way is to modify your antenna (as I did).
Hardware Keys Backlight
This will work only on Iocean x7 Youth clocked @1.2GHz (no effects on any other Iocean x7).
You can turn on/off hardware keys backlight typing:
Code:
lights on
turns lights on
Code:
lights off
turns lights off
Ringtone
You probably still don't understand why I'm pointing this out...well...you'll get it once you receive your first incoming call...I love this ringtone, but probably many of you won't! If you're among them, go into Settings>Audio profiles>General and change ringtone. I recommend you to keep it
That's it guys, flash responsibly! :good:

Yes, you should have both stock camera and lenovo camera, the same for Gallery. If Settings>Viper4Android crashes it means there's no Viper4Android installed. Try to check in app drawer whether you see it or not. I just tried to flash again with TWRP the whole rom on my Iocean Youth and got no issues.
It seems like your installation process had some issues, which recovery have you used? Anyways try to flash back formatting cache, dalvik, data and system, possibly with a different recevoery (I tested it on my TWRP linked in post #1) and let me know :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I tried to flash with CWM recovery linked in post#1 and had no issues even in that case
EDIT2: I flashed starting from different situations (stock youth 0703, stock elite 0722, custom, ...) with different recoveries, but couldn't reproduce your issues on my youth. As I said, try to flash back and don't forget full wipe.
In antutu I have score 10 000 and you ?
Samba haven't tried you ROM yet but just downloaded this ROM from here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7-youth-2/ , its a really nice ROM and finally got CSR racing and empirior warriors 2 working without lags.
And guess my antutu score ? 12677 !!
Humble request Samba , any chance you can have a look at this ROM and make and improvement on it ?
I have got and Iocean Youth also and so far that's the best ROM I have found in terms of stability , gaming and benchmark .

Did you manage to reinstall the rom without issues?
Anyways 10000 is not normal, do you have any CPU governor installed? It seems like you're not running at maximum clock.
My antutu on GammaRom is 12899 as you can see in the pic:
Antutu is definitely not important, but check that's everything's fine (CPU clock, background apps,...).

Yeah I've that rom on my SD card, I quickly tried it a few weeks ago. Benchmarks aren't very significant, but as you can see above I got an higher score. That doesn't mean much, if I repeat that test in different situations results will change.
I'll focus on GammaRom for the next period because I prefer to concentrate my efforts on only one work rather than releasing many roms almost equal to each other. For the future I'd rather start from a clean stock rom, and I like Iocean's firmware which is really clean and close to Vanilla android. I tried many xperia roms, but don't really liked them so far. Anyways I still couldn't download Xperia C stock rom to give it a try. We'll see!

You can see a few screenshots in post #1. I took xperia launcher and I slightly modded it, but you can change it if you don't like it (I can give you stock launcher if you prefer). For what concerns icons they are Iocean's stock ones except from some of them which I replaced with higher definition ones taken from thl firmware (email, sms,...).

Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?

No, no fix of any kind needed so far! It's based on Iocean Elite's stock so it mounts partitions exactly as stock

Great Rom so far , nice and smooth i like the fact you can also choose ring tones from mp3 nice work :thumbup: , btw what's the terminal emulator for ?

hmm I think it would be great if this rom had aroma installer so we can choose to install other apps etc, even though we can use a root uninstaller. just a suggestion though, this rom already works perfectly. Oh and forgot to mention earlier, I get much better wifi signal with this rom. From my room I used to get 3/5 now I get 4-5/5!
Sambaaa said:
Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?

The original development thread is here. Since @doesntexits does not develop for this phone any more, I asked him to make this clone and he accepted.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, after-market firmware distribution of Android, 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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
Are running a custom kernel
Have flashed mods
Modified system files
Didn't follow our instructions word by word

And most important: DON'T READ THE OP
What's working:
RIL (Calls, SMS, Mobile data)
Wifi (connection, tethering)
Bluetooth
Camera, video codecs
Storage (internal, external and adoptable storage)
Offline charging
zRAM (compressed-RAM swap)
GAPPS
Tethering (USB, Wifi, Bluetooth)

LZ4 compressor/de-compressor for zRAM
BUGS/Not working:
FM radio app FC (due to missing libraries)
Distorting sound when using Bluetooth headset in call or in recording
First time installing CyanogenMod 13 to your Galaxy V, or coming from another ROM:
Install TWRP Recovery
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Vol-up+Home+Power)
Do a Nandroid backup! (Optional and only if you weren't running TouchWiz before)
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system partition)*
Install the ROM from sdcard using TWRP Recovery
Optionally install the Google Apps ( get it here: https://opengapps.org ) (pico GAPPS recommended) (*)
(*) NOTE: If you're about going to install GAPPS with ROM, install it right after you've installed the ROM, else you have to do a factory reset if you've booted the ROM first

F.A.Q
Q: ROM startup too slow?
A: This device is just a single-core phone, so the first startup is super-duper slow, and some lags are expected during usage
Q: ETAs?
A: See here: Link
Q: Anymore models supported?
A: SM-G313ML, SM-G313H
Q: Is init.d supported on this ROM?
A: Every CyanogenMod ROMs support init.d, so be free at scriptings
Q: Can you include ABCXYZ feature / Samsung Apps here?
A: NO!
Q: Can i use your ROM as a base for portings?
A: Yes, you could, but give proper credits
Q: Status 7 when installing the ROM?
A: Use TWRP recovery to install the ROM, as CWM is not supported yet
Q: Server error in Google Play Store?
A: Install latest Google Play Services manually first (might take long time, due to Lollipop's nature), then you can install apps from GG Play as usual
Q: How to use adoptable storage feature? I see it's new in Marshmallow
A: Go to Settings >> Storage & USB >> Tap on the SD card label (not the eject icon) >> 3 dots menu on the top right >> Settings >> Format as internal and done!
Q: Where's the MTP option in Marshmallow? I don't see it in Storage settings
A: This feature has been moved to Developer settings, and will reset to default (Charging) after every reboots. Enable developer options first by tapping 7 times on Build number in About phone section >> Go to Developer settings >> Select USB configuration. The fastest way to do this is plug in your USB with your PC, scroll down notification bar and tap on "USB for Charging"
Q: Where's the "running" section in Apps settings?
A: It has been cut off separately to Memory setting and "Running services" in Developer settings. You can see the memory used by apps for a period of time and closing apps too, but they won't disappear in the menu, and in "Running services", still same as old-fashioned running apps section
@ngoquang2708 said in the CLOSED THREAD: I do not think screen lock when you are pulling the notification drawer is a bug. You have to unlock your screen to do things, right?
About "wakelock", didn't I fix it, or you misstyped it?
Man, you did fix that wakelock thing in the Beta 3, but it's happening someting similar with me (that why I thought it has a wakelock thing), when I click on the bottom of the screen happens that damn thing showed in the screenshot (only when i click in the bottom).
I wonder if I'm the only one with this problem, this has happened with you @ngoquang2708?
Hey bro, hopefully soon solve the problem of GPS, lock screen and the annoying message from the SIM Card

Hi. I tried installing SuperSu but it keeps on failing, the Su binary can't be installed for some reason. I tried rebooting as it says but still gives the same error. I already enable the root access in developer options and gave permission but it just doesn't work, is there any fix?
Also can I install OC Kernel? I would love to overclock a bit if i can?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance guys!

Why do you want SuperSu on CM? It isn't supported
For now you can't install OC kernel, as the ramdisks are outdated. I'll make a ZIP for all ROMs now

Try to activate and deactivate the Root Permission again in Apps and ADB or Apps Only, and then give Root Permission when it asks (it worked for me when I was with this problem).

I recommend you see this guide thread about the CPU and I/O Scheduler: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957
About the best CPU, I/O Scheduler, i'm not sure but, let me give you a example: When i play in Drastic DS Emulator and switch the CPU and I/O to another one than the default, the screen freezes in the middle of the game and defrost later (about 30secs and 1min), but when I play in the default (Intelliacive/BFQ) it goes smoother with no screen freezes.

No need to do that, you just need to download and install supersu from the play store. After installation disable and re enable root access make sure its apps and adb. Worked for me.

I can port?
Hi my friends! I would port for my device (SM-G318ML) I Can port and modify?
This is the Official Jaguar rom for Aries, which is based on AOSP with some flavors from Slim and Dirtyunicorn. The rom was originally made for Xperia Z1 Honami in August 2015, then extended to Z1c Amami and now it is time for Z3c Aries. There have been thousands of downloads and great success with both Z1s. You can check respective original development threads. I hope the trend will continue with Jaguar for Aries.
Why LP, as opposed to MM and Nougat? Several reasons. The main one is Sony's unfriendliness to development community. Camera sucks, because Sony wouldn't provide proper blobs. Also, MM brings very few features, as opposed to LP. MM is still in alpha, but is already being abandoned by developers in favor of Nougat. Nougat will never work for Z1/Z2/Z3, because Sony wants you to buy a newer device. And finally, all LP roms, except Jaguar, have been abandoned by their developers since November 2015. CM still publishes nightly LP, but they have abandoned CM 12.1 kernel, meaning, they haven't incorporated about 800 security patches from Google and Code Aurora in LP kernel. Enough reasons for you?
The main difference from other roms is the emphasis on security and multiple features. With that in mind , let's see what Jaguar has to offer:
1. Hardened Kernel, modified M5; hardened rom built with HYPERTOOL 5.4
2. All ciphers enabled in kernel instead of just a few
3. Hardened/Fortified Bionic and Libs
4. Fstack protection strong to resist buffer overflows
5. Many System apps and processes are made read-only, to reduce elevation of privilege
6. Selinux replaced with Tomoyo Security, Yam security
7. Disc encryption, keymaster to 256 bit AES instead of 128
8. Latest TWRP with working brightness and ability to decrypt Data (Coming Soon)
9. Random number generation mixed hardware/software, as recommended by Linus Torwalds
10. Options to randomize host on every boot
11. Option to have a separate password for lock screen and boot
12. Qualcomm's Time Services disabled due to leaking on early boot (set time to automatic to get it from your carrier)
13. WIFI Background Scanning disabled to prevent leaking
14. Internet disabled for both WIFI and Data until Afwall is set and activiated (Afwall included in download, install as regular app)
15. The phone is VOLTE ready and you have all network options available in Cell menu (not just LTE/WCDMA/GSM)
16. GRsecurity features, such as Sidechannel implemented
17. Some Pax Security Features
18. Option to deny USB connection: denied always; denied when locked; and allowed always
19. Hardened webview with Google and other "interesting" IPs removed
20. Prevention of bruteforcing screen pin: the phone will reboot upon 3 unsuccessful attempts
21. Perfect_Event_Paranoid ported from Grsecurity: now third party apps can't use other apps including system to elevate privileges
22. Camera hardware button works to focus, take pictures and start video recording
23. Option to disable writing to Tombstones (a lot of private info is dumped there if there is a crash)
24. Option to disable continuing writing of logcat
25. Option to disable device cameras: back; front, both or none
26. Option to disable third party apps to access clipboard
27. Always latest Google Security Patches
28. Always latest Code Aurora Security Patches
29. Changes ported directly from Google Android Gerrit, so most of those in MM and even N are in this rom
30. About 80% of kernel changes are ported into Jaguar kernel from 3.10 and 3.18 (not Sony AOSP 3.10 that has Down Syndrome, but Linux/Google/Code Aurora one)
31. Rom is odexed to significantly increase boot speed (under 30 seconds) and application start
32. Many more security features ported from Linux and Copperhead OS
33. Dns Crypt: a feature allowing to choose among many Dns providers (all encrypted)
34. Seccomp: secure computing enabled in kernel
Other features include: Layers Theme Engine; Native Call Recording with interface integrated in Dialer with no restrictions; Privacy Guard; Native Wakelock Blocker; Native Black List; Global Menu; Slim Recents; Traffic Indicators; Advanced Reboot; Slim Pie; CPU Info on Screen; Ram Bar in Recents; Open source Superuser (not Supersu) included and integrated in Settings; True Offline Charging with Screen Off; Kernel Adiutor included (unzip and install as a normal app) and integrated in Settings plus more
Things users need to know to have smooth experience:. These are not bugs, but rather an explanation of some features
1. If you want to do data encryption, keep in mind that unlike Android, Jaguar uses 256 bit encryption. If you were encrypted on other roms, you won't be able to decrypt. So, wipe encryption and then re-encrypt on Jaguar. Also, keep in mind that if you ever did factory reset on official TWRP 3+ for honami, your data partition is screwed and have to be resized to enable encryption. This has nothing to do with the rom, but rather with the official TWRP itself. Fastboot my unofficial TWRP 3.0.2, (it is coming for Xperia Z3c, which, by the way has working brightness, as well as ability to decrypt and mount data
2. Jaguar contains a script running on early boot, which cuts the internet access to both WIFI and Data until Afwall is running. This is done to prevent leaking, as well as having all your internet traffic routed through some interesting number of servers, including this IP: 26.147.196.22. So, install Afwall and activate it, otherwise, no Internet for you
3. If your system language is different from English and you want to make changes in Phone/Cell Network settings, switch to English first, make the changes and then return to your language. The changes you made will hold. If you try to make the changes in your language, you will have com.android.phone crash. Localization takes time and is virtually impossible to implement in Jaguar, which is a one-person-rom
4. Sony TimeKeep, which is ported from MM/N, now sets the correct time on reboot without the Internet or GSM signal. All you need to do is set it once and TimeKeep will save/recalculate/restore the same on each reboot
5. GAPPS: if you use them, you need to flash them right after the rom (or each update) and before reboot. Flashing after reboot will result in multiple f/c
6. Due to Volte implementation, you might be required to flash LP or MM stock baseband (only if you have no 2g/3g signal)
Download: All updates and change logs are in Post #3
Instructions:
1. Be on LP at least, have TWRP, unlocked bootloader and root
2. In TWRP, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik
3. Flash the rom
4. If you use xposed, flash the latest installer
5. Reboot, install Afwall and Kernel Adiutor as normal apps; activate Afwall to have Internet
6. Enjoy the rom, say thank you, donate or do both
Warning: If your device and/or anyone in the immediate vicinity dies, don't blame me: it is all China and Russia's fault.

Development update and some screenshots
I broke my Z1 screen again and I am not in the mood for after market screens. And I am sick and tired of Sony crappy treatment of development community.
I am now looking at Lenovo Zuk Z2 or Z2 pro. Both excellent phones with the latest CPU and made out of metal and glass by Motorola which they bought from Google a couple of years ago. Zuk is friendly to developers and their blobs don't dumb down camera and they don't seek to "unify" bugs for all their devices. I no longer wish to support a fat bastard corporation that can't make a good phone, but thinks that just by putting their logo on the phone would make it worth $700.
RE Jaguar. I will continue to maintain Jaguar mainly with security patches... for a while, but my main work will be concentrated on Zuk. There is a lot of work to be done cleaning Android N and implementing security and other features from Jaguar...
Screenshots are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62560391&postcount=2
This is where you have downloads
February 9: New release including
1. February Security patches
2. DNS_Crypt (in settings/security)
3. Seccomp (secure computing implemented in kernel)
4. Open Source Superuser integrated
5. Silent SMS notification enabled
6. 1440p profile in camcorder added
7. Sony TimeKeep: now time is set locally without the Internet or GSM signal (you need to set it right the first time only)
If you enable Dnscrypt and you use Afwall, allow internet for apps running as root...
If you prefer closed source Supersu, just flash the zip...

Just asking Yeah just as I expected, that is an issue present for 2 years already, with no clear effort from Sony to release a proper calibration for Z3/Z3C.
I'm really interested in your unofficial TWRP, my phone is encrypted and the official TWRP can't decrypt it.

@optimumpro
Your work seems very appealing and thank you very much for supporting our beloved z3c!
I have a few questions,
1-Did you specifically choose the word "arise" ?
If Yes, then forget question one
If No, then it would be nice to change name to "Aries" because z3c codename is Aries.
2-Is this rom battery and resource friendly?
If the answers are somehow satisfying i'm thinking of unlocking my bootloader and use your rom.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

It's probably a typo, since the Z1 version is called Jaguar Honami.
From the Z1 thread:
This rom is now about 40% Nougat. One of the side effects: Xposed framework no longer works, but getting rid of it and instead using Privacy Guard is almost as good. Don't forget, Xposed is an exploit, which provides hooks for good and bad things.

These security features sound nice.
Does Xposed work on this one? Also, could I flash this and not enable encryption?
Normally, I'd flash it and get the answers myself, but I don't want to unlock my BL if I don't have to.

Team DevDigitel Presents:
Stock With Goodies =)
This is a stock based rom based on the QI5, QK3, QL9, RA6, and It is Pre-rooted with SuperSu, Heavy Debloat and some slight adds, this is just the basic start, Moded boot animations and removal of all carrier info that is not sprint, so non sprint users... well sorry, this is the sprint side of things.. if you want to flash this and you are non sprint, go ahead and do so, then after phone has fully booted one time, put phone in download mode and flash your carriers csc, please do not request support in this thread for porting to other carriers.
WHAT YOU NEED:
You must have already Rooted your device with SamFail, You also will need FlashFire and Busy-Box installed and some common sense!
FlashFire : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
(OR)
SAFE STRAP TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-locked-nougat-7-1-1-safestrap-t3772765
Busy-Box: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Okay here lets get started, and oh wait..
And as always, I can not be held liable for the damage or malfunction of your device using these files, you proceed at your own risk and remove my liability by continuing to the downloads portion of this post!
STEPS:
Step 1: Insure Busybox is installed into system directly. I prefer /system/xbin
Step 2: Install FlashFire and grant it root permission
Step 3: Click the Little RED + button in the bottom right corner and choose Flash ZIP or OTA
Step 4: Navigate to where you have downloaded my rom and select it.
Step 5: Check the box next to ( Mount / System read / Write) then hit the check mark in top right corner
Step 5.5: If you are not already on my rom, you must choose WIPE and do a full wipe, this is deodexed and the old data needs removed, this also needs to be put at the top of the flash list to be done 1st just click and hold on the wipe and drag it to the top.
Select the following : Wipe System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik Cache, Cache Parition.
Step 6: Hit the FLASH button at the bottom and hold on for the ride! If all goes well you should have installed TeamDevDigitel rooted stockish rom and enjoying yourself.

Status : Stable
BUGS / KNOWN ISSUES:
*Pop-up While being plugged into pc saying device can not be used, this is normal just dismiss and use as normal.
*Certain Apps do not work due to being rooted; SamsungPay, SHealth, SecureFolder and others are effected by this.
some apps now working with tima=0
*If you get stuck in setup wizard, please click back and go forward again, if it still wont proceed just reboot phone and it will make it through the setup. This happens randomly for setups it seems.
If you are having audio issues : go to /system/etc/mixer_paths_tavil.xml and change to mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak2 and take the mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak and remove the .bak off of it. This essentially turns off the dual speaker mod, but shouldn't need to be done, some apps just may not like dual speaker mod?
Removed This pre-built in feature on BRB4 due to many apps not supporting dual audio this way.

The U1 or U2 will be to determine if your device has been updated or not to the newer bootloader. This will forever lock your device to the newer revision bootloader U2 and you no longer can flash U1 roms or use their data from backups. Please insure you either update and flash U2 or if you are still on U1 and you bootloop and cant recover, restore using a u1 firmware or choose to flash the latest firmware.

Haha !!! 1st! Can't wait to give this a go. Thank you for your hard work! You rock!
Well ive narrowed down the camera to a issue with the updater script and the links/perms to the hardware for camera. Not sure where to start as the stock img and the eng img built very different scripts.. gonna have to play around some and see.
WOO!!! Glad to see you got it working before me!
I wanna go for a ride.. I'm buckling up!

Yes that's correct
Both are still not working. I'm still just in testing phase that it's flashing with flashfire and booting correctly for multiple people. Wiping data etc and it still works. Looking for fc's etc. I'm working on redoing the scripts in hope the cam and flash are just tied to the perm/metadata/symlinks auto generated by my tool

What happened? I'm thinking you would need to have selected wipe system and data and placed it at the top 1st because you are coming from a non deodexed Rom and i completely forgot about this step as I've been on deodexed myself for some time and it wouldn't effect me. If you want to give it another go that would be what would cause the issue.

Looking forward to downloading once uploaded, thanks for fixing the bugs
OP HAS BEEN UPDATED AND FRESH DL LINK IS AVAILABLE!
Make sure to review steps as they have changed, and i have attatched photos to op of the way flashfire should look.
Thanks so much for your hard work!
One question - I'm not rooted (yet); does flashing this (and hence being rooted) limit us to charging up to only 80%?
Thanks in advance!

Yes once rooted we are stuck at max 80% charge
Ok thanks - just got my note 8 on Saturday and I'm dying to root it. I'm just having a hard time accepting a 20% loss lol.
Hopefully the masterminds figure out a way to overcome that.
DISCLAIMER
Code:
Nothing revolutionary will happen
So don't expect any miracles from this thread .
Also I am not responsible if you get addicted
to Omni switch or Omni sounds .
Flash at your own risk
Hello readers, you might be familiar with Omni rom and the goodies that it ships with ..... Yes I am talking about the awesome and revolutionary omni-switch .
As you all know not every Rom offers that amazing recent styles and tbh I am very much fond of that style and I hope there are many users out there who also like it and want to use it on other roms . So I present you guys with 3 things
omni switch style
system ui sounds
splash screen
The first two are in the form of magisk module so that's a very good thing for the guys who are scared of getting their devices rekt lol
So coming to the instructions all you need to do is read carefully the below things
1) Omni switch
it contains the omni switch apk and the toggle apk
it's a magisk module
user need to get the files from afh & flash via RECOVERY
remember the word RECOVERY
Note : After flashing Omni switch module user need to configure their single press recent key to use Omni switch otherwise it won't work properly . You can find this option under your hardware keys button feature options
2) Omni sounds
contains ui sounds
included only 3 sounds bcs thats what i needed
charging sound , locking phone , unlocking phone sound included
magisk module
flash through RECOVERY
And now the final one i.e splash screen
It's just a Snapdragon logo on dark background. The reason to make this splash screen is BCS the one available here has a white line at the top portion which somewhere I don't like ...so I thought of creating a new one .
Requirements : magisk 16.0 + & custom recovery installed
Links below :
Omni switch
Omni sounds
splash screen
Credits :
*Omni team ( for Omni switch and sounds )
*Topjohnwu (for magisk )
*GokuINC ( for splash tool )
*Utkarshp64 ( I used his magisk template)
*p0358 ( I used his magisk template)
*Anurag (that guy gave the splash )
*XDA (for platform )
*You guys (for using it )
If you feel like your name should be under credits list then just tag or quote me I will look into it .
TL;dr = just get the above files and flash via recovery
THE MODULES WERE TESTED ON NON TREBLE 8.1.0 ROMS . IT WILL WORK ON TREBLE TOO
some useful threads :
1) you can have a look at the this thread by @ArK96 for more variety of splash screen
2)You can visit this thread and get the flashable zip for Omniswitch if you don't want to use my magisk module
If you guys want to add more ui sounds then just simply unzip my module and place the ui sounds at appropriate location and again zip it .

Cool sir..just love the omni sounds:laugh:
A great systemless mod. Thank you for your work. You the man.
Gonna try this on dot os latest version!

Many thanks friend!
I flashed omni sound through recovery and it didn't work help plz
In some roms the charging ui sound is named as "battery plugge"d while in some others it's" dock " so u can just edit accordingly and get it working .
so I added this on an essential phone - PH-1 - and it works fine save the "recent apps." Is there anotheh setting to allow access to recents?
Where is omni sounds in mobile,I install omni sounds buy can't find it
Just a notice in case you want to update this module:
On android pie this module didn't work. After assigning the omniswitch action to a key, pressing the key resulted in a short flash on the screen, but omniswitch did not open.
I found these omniswitch flashables , but those were not magisk, but actually worked.
So I replaced the apk in your magisk zip with the pie one from that link and now it works 'almost' flawlessly.
The only minor issue I found so far is that omniswitch itself is shown among recent apps and I have not found a way to hide it.
And the 'Active since' setting doesn't work.
I haven't really understood the purpose of the toggle.apk since it works without it. So I've created a zip with and without that toggle for testing.
Needs to be flashed in recovery, not in the magisk manager app.
