If you dont do it everything is in the dpi of the z3 so way too big for our lil phone

dont forget to factory reset your phone if you dont do it it will show xperia then just reboot

Yes, after fail with N preview 4. I do following your intruction with N preview but I get reboot with Xperia animation (with factory reset ) 3 time and now my phone is booting up starting. Maybe I will try another time with N preview 4 and wait for many rebooting

 

[lamducthien]

I think we should add one step after
14. reboot to twrp and restore the n Backup
to get booting up
14.1 flash N preview kernel and boot to TWRP do a factory reset

the kernel is included in the backup

 

[lamducthien]

the kernel is included in the backup

[J0SH1X]
