Q&A

Q1: HOW TO USE THE PATCH?
A1: TAKE A LOOK ON POST #3!

Q2: CAN I USE THE PATCH ON MY STOCK DEVICE FIRMWARE?
A1: DEPENDS ON THE OS. TEST BY YOURSELF AND GIVE FEEDBACK FOR OTHER USERS!

Q3: WHICH PATCH WIPE OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE?
A1: IF YOU'VE CLEAN FLASHED A ROM/OS CAN YOU CHOOSE THE BASIC WIPE!
A2: IF YOU'VE NOT WIPED AND FLASHED A NEW ROM/OS BEFORE USE THE CLEAN OR FULL WIPE!

Q4: THE DISPLAY IS FROZEN WHILE PATCHING, WHAT TO DO?
A1: NO WORRIES, THE PATCH WILL INSTALL BUT TWRP HAS PERFORMANCE ISSUES.
A2: JUST TAP THE RIGHT BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE NEXT BUTTON IS AND PRESS IT A FEW TIMES.
A3: YOUR DEVICE SHOULD VIBRATE WHEN YOU HIT THE NEXT BUTTON. 3 VIBRATIONS AND YOU'RE DONE!

Q5: SOME APPS ARE CLOSING OR NOT RECEIVING MESSAGES WHILE SCREEN OFF, WHY!?
A1: MAKE SURE YOU'VE CONFIGURED THE SMART BATTERY APP / PUT THEM TO NEVER SLEEP!

Q6: HOW TO SET UP SMART BATTERY?
A1: USE THE MORE SHORTCUTS APP AND START THE SMART BATTERY ACTIVITY!
A2: OR JUST WAIT FOR A NOTIFICATION FROM THE APP. IT COMES WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF!

Q7: MY WALLPAPERS ARE GONE AFTER WAKING THE DEVICE UP, WHATS WRONG?
A1: MAKE SURE YOU'VE WHITELISTED GOOGLE BACKGROUNDS IN SMART BATTERY!

Instructions:

BOOT TO THE RECOVERY/TWRP
WIPE DATA, SYSTEM AND THE CACHES
FLASH A AOSP OS/ROM/FIRMWARE/KERNEL
GO TO THE REBOOT MENU AND SELECT RECOVERY
FLASH THE PATCH BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE SYSTEM
REBOOT TO THE SYSTEM NOW. THE FIRST START MAY TAKE SOME TIME

And that's it. If You don't want to flash a new ROM, just choose the Clean or Full Wipe within the Patch.

Will it work with Oreo ? Though I don't mind trying. I just thought I did ask.

Besides the GApps and maybe Root is everything ready for 8.X. The GApps will be updated to the Oreo Ones, once Linage is pushing first official Nightlies of 8.X.

The installer is displayed upside down in twrp.

Really? That's new... Is the Touch working correctly or is it screwed up? I will take a look on the AROMA Threads to see if that happened to someone else before. But could also be a TWRP Bug...

Thanks for the Feedback!

It depends on twrp version. Use davide's one or cosme's

But

Didn't realise it could be the twrp issue, can I get the link for davide's twrp or a better one. The touch in twrp is non functional while in Aroma

First impressions

Installed the light patch after wiping the system cache and dalvik. using a different tarp solved the issue regarding the flipped screen and the touch not working.
My few observations after 1 hour of usage :

1. The audio recording doesn't work on the phone( using any recorder), however the camera seems to be recording the sound. The Google voice assistant can't be setup as it can't hear the Ok Google.

2. The scroll cache seems to be a little laggy, maybe it needs some time to settle in.

3. Audio quality seems good, not sure if it's a Placebo effect.

4. The phone does warm up during charging, seems like it could be because of a fresh install. Without the light patch it was almost the same.

5: Google assistant doesnt work with the audio patch applied.

Thanks for Your Feedback. Well I think all lags and warmups will be gone after some Minutes (There are a lot of Progresses running in the Background on a clean start). Besides that are the Mic Problems known on some Devices. The Problem is caused by a lack of Fluence Audio Support. A well working (But Quality lowering) workaround is the Magisk Module called "Android Mic Fix" which does basically just disable Fluence Audio for Applications which are using the Loudspeaker besides the Mic (Calls, Google Assistant).

I would suggest to give it a try if You want to run the Patch anyways. And about the Audio Quality, there is for sure a plus in Quality. Lot of Qualcomm exclusive services besides the highest possible resampling can't be placebo. The Light Audio System (Including Sony Audio Enhancements UI) is also working as intended (Xloud, Clearphase, S-force). I haven't measurement methods available, but I'm using high Fidelity Audio Equipment to test the differences and My Hearing is good as it should be for a 24 Years old Guy. Trust in a Nerd lol

Just to share some Infos with You. Hope it wasn't to much!

if i test it on stock rom 3.1.165 running twrp 3.1.0 recovery there will be any problem in functionality?

I never used or worked with Zuk Devices, there is a chance that it will work on Stock, but I can't promise that. The Patch is made for 7.1.x & 8.x AOSP based Systems, Problems on Stock which aren't on AOSP happening will not be fixed...

Thank you so much for this wonderful patch. I have installed the mic fix as well, the audio recording works well. Would there be any app for the configuration of Light Audio System, like changing the equalizer etc?

Yeah, the Light Audio Option adds Xperia XZ Premium Libraries which will be enabled and loaded by the Xperia Audio Enhancements App. That App is linked as Equalizer on all Music Players like Spotify, Play Music and all default audio Players from ROMs. It does also contain Headphone Profiles and Enhancements, all added on top of the already existing optimizations of the Light Patch...

Think that explains it pretty well. Let Me know how You like it!
