Has rooting/debloating helped anyone significantly to improve battery life? Not sure what is causing the problem. On my z3c on MM I almost got no batterydrop when idle. The Xp on the other hand is draining continuesly, even after factory reset. I expected worse battery life, considering same...

Any news on daily use with this new update? Just purchased my X perfomance, and really disapointed about the battery life. Hoping to see some improvements in the finalization of Nougat.

no, you keep all the goodies ;)

Try using this guide: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html Worked like a charm 3x in a row.

Confirmed working on Sony Z3 Compact! Thanks for the usefull post.

After a couple of days bricking around, finally found a way to have all the goodies and still have full device encryption. Something that isn't working with custom recovery installed. Short guide: 1. Stock ROM 5.1.1 2. Encrypt device first (!) 3. Root using Kingroot...

Another confirm working root. Working with supersume btw (see playstore). Now on SuperSU instead of kingoroot. Finally root + full device encryption :)

Back screen broke by itself, after 2 weeks repair, I got what looks like a brand new phone. Complete new chassis and screen (noticably less blue), emei checked out, probably the same internals. Well happy with after service.

Old thread, but wanted everybody to find out about Snakehive cases. Leather and wood, good quality stylish and affordable (rare combination) and compatible with the magnector cables.

Encryption on the stock works perfectly. The only reason I and probably a bunch of other people stick around without root.

How is full device encryption doing? Still creating endless bootloops?

Anyone tried this method or found another way to achieve root + encryption? It's the only thing keeping me from rooting again.

Didn't this solved the bad picture quality on unlocked bootloader / cm12? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-xperia-z4-framework-sony-stock-t3154772

Also had encryption, pattern lock and pin don't work. Had to revert to full stock to retrieve security updates and full device encryption.

New unknown update available. Anybody installed it? No idea if root is available..
