Hi, there is a chance To get this rom work for Xperia Z3 Dual? Thanks...
Yes. Once I get time I will make a patch. It will take time though as some parts of the Dual ROM will have to be modded with Fragment features.

Priority us V4.1 OTA for stability and then I can start making a patch which will mean the patch includes the most stable features

Thinking of unlocking BL... Any good kernel to use n worried bout DRM!
There are only benefits to UB now lol :p

Use the official method

Then Advanced Kernel will work with Fragment and you can then use Systemless SU and the DRM patch from here to get DRM features like camera working properly.
Can also use SU hide and use Android Pay with root

Also means if an AOSP 7.x rom comes out you can use it. I hear they almost have the camera working now.

Unfortunately Elite Kernel still doesn't work. I have contacted the dev and instead of offering any help he blew me off as some kind of noob with "is your bootloader unlocked? I think no"
And that was all he said despite me explaining the exact problem of not booting etc.
Big shame because it's a decent kernel just dev can't offer support....

So as long as you backup the TA partition you can restore it back to locked Bootloader with all DRM features again just like stock if you decide you don't need UB

Tha steps are just too much.... Thinking of unlocking maybe i can get good battery life. Yhu know unlocking will reset tha fone.

A. Backup TA
1. Unlock BL
2. Flash Advanced stock kernel
3. Flash Systemless root
4. Boot to recovery and flash rom right?

Pretty much yeah

After you flash Advanced kernel do a factory reset and then flash the DRM patch by erthx (I think) and you will have all camera and picture quality

but after installing DRM fix.... if i install tha rom wont it reset tha phone if i do factory reset?
That's kind of the point.
Unlocking bootloader wipes the whole phone anyway. Literally all internal memory etc is wiped. So you need to backup everything to PC before unlock.

Then when you install DRM fix it doesn't matter so much.

If you don't want to lose data best not to unlock the bootloader :p

There is nothing related to battery life and UB. Its depends on a good custom kernel.

A kernel that supports Under Clock and Over Clock and init.d support and all. Will help u to save battery. Use any cpu controler with a good custom kernel..


Take ta backup
Take Internal memory backup
Unlock bootloader
Reboot
Copy rom and drm fix to phone
Enter recovery
Flash rom
Switch off
Fastboot kernel
Enter recovery again
Wipe data factory reset
Flash drm fix
Reboot
And get profit...

The only good kernel is now available for Z3 is elitte kernel. Tested it with my Z3 291 stock rom and everything works. Did not tested battery life. Because i am always charging my Z3 with several sources...

If u first flash kernel then flash rom means the custom kernel will replaced by stock kernel from rom.

Elite Kernel doesnt required DRM fix.... I dnt wanna use stock cos too much bloatware and requires modding alot like superuser and co.. But if i unlock BL den reboot, i wont have recovery anymore cos tha phone is gonna be reset during unlocking bootloader. Thanks!

Thats why you fastboot elite kernel after unlocking as it has recovery included.
