There's not really a "typical" case for this - it depends mainly on the attractiveness of the device and thus developer activity (good chance for the Z3C) and a bit of luck. Maybe somebody finds an exploit soon, may it be device specific or universal like Towelroot, or maybe nobody ever finds one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] difto:
Well it's not predictable, an exploit has to be found in KitKat that allows to execute root commands. As android is becoming more and more secure the difficulty is increasing

tap2wake not working

Hello all! Can you please do me a favor and check if after unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting you still get the tap2wake function. I can't get it to work, even after unfreezing all apps I had frozen and rebooting.

Thanks!

Carlos
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dew.man:
Still works great for me with an unlocked/rooted phone...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] spychodelics:
I'm sorry for maybe asking this noob question, but ain't there a way to relock the phone and install a ruu like it's on HTC devices possible? Or ist really a fact that you can't gain access to the DRM stuff anymore after unlocking? No way to undo the unlocking?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Scottland:
As I understand it, the Sony firmware files don't contain or restore what was in the TA partition - once the TA partition is wiped that's it unless you have a backup to restore from.

I v been using my beloved xperia TX for more than 2 years.now its battery time has gone wildly crazy(i,ll charge 3 times a day:) )

Xperia z3c is ideal device for me now but I want root so that I can use gravity box for minimizing my navigation bar.i hate toomuch biggy nav bar that sony made on z3c...is there any way rhat I can minimize the size of navigation bar without root in xperia z3c??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] smonist:

i would really appreciate if you would make a root without unlocked bootloader possible. as it seems i'm stuck with a device that can't be unlocked. never ever get those phones that come with contracts. just don't.

btw i'm going to donate you a few bucks. i hope it speeds up development a bit :)

Will rooted (unlocked BL) phones get OTA also?

Thanks...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Dsteppa:
Yes they should, if I'm correct when receiving an update your phone isn't being checked to see whether the DRM keys are intact or not.

I still got OTA's on my unlocked Xperia Z and I doubt they changed that system.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Cypher_01:
I've got a completly different idea. Does anyone know, if it is possible for Sony to restore the DRM keys? The keys are unique for every device and a specific device should be identifiable by its serial number. I imagine if Sony has a database of DRM keys corresponding to the specific devices (serial numbers), a restore should be possible at least by the manufacturer.

I think about this because maybe there could be at least a paid method for restoring the DRM keys.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] AlexFLCL:
Don't think so, There is no DRM for a concrete Serial Number, they said that they erase them so noone can copy them to other mobile phones, I mean, they won't restore your DRM keys even paying because you could steal the software and port it to other phones.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Iruwen:
They could create new keys. That would still render downloaded protected content useless, but restore functions like Miracast and their camera algorithms. But I doubt that they'll ever offer this as an individual paid service.

I can't restore my app data made with TiBu on my One to put it on my Z3..

And I don't plan on unlocking the bootloader.

Unless someone knows how to use the app data inside a Tibu backup like push the data files with ADB ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] BadBoy4490:
Best would be to make a new backup on your One with HELIUM, then restore it to your Z3c ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cyphomatic:
Is there actually any development of a custom-ROM for the z3 compact? It seems very quiet to me..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] demon_xxi:
My guess is that next logical step is wait or try to port Android L (5.0) to unlocked Z3 and see if better camera API allows to get better results from sensor without DRM keys.

The ROOT route is a gamble at this point.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Cypher_01:
This is no alternative for me (and I guess for many others) since Xposed is running only on Dalvik atm, which has been removed in Android 5.0 Lollipop. I won't switch to Lollipop unless Xposed is ported to ART.

Back to topic, kernel sources are now available on GitHub, could this raise the chance to find a way to root the Z3C without unlocking the bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] gabsi55:
THANKS!

does this also work on 23.0.A.2.93?

Because i dont have the .105 yet..

(Unlocked without knowing remote play and miracast is lost though :( )
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] runkle6:
asked da same, no answer until now ... i guess not. i think u could try to update to .105 manually, but didnt tried yet cause iam on vacation right now. iam coming from nexus 5 and what i really hate on z3c is the resolution, need to change dpi as soon as possible and i need root for that ...

edit: i just realized i got an unread message, so doomlord thinks its possible, but read the disclaimer before unlocking!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Wajk:

Not sure, but if you disable this apps from Settings/Apps, and after that unlcock bootloader and ROOT your phone, maybe DRM keys won't deleted. I say again not sure, I just thinking.

My Nexus 5 recently captured my attention as the camera is not workig anymore. I have the latest android version, not the L however, an it's unrooted. I only have retrica and instagram for taking picture as well, but they don't seem to work too due to this problem. I don't know where the problem can be originated from, but when I open the camera app it says Cannot connect to the camera. Has anyone of you exeperience it? How did you solve it?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zach1928:
Hey all, I've been running into an issue the past week with my battery. I replaced it myself early in June with a new one that was manufactured by HTC and this past week its been bugging out. So far it's shut down randomly 3 times at like 30-40% and kicks on showing maybe 20% or less. Then I'll try to charge it and it will either be gray with the exclamation or show all kinds of random percentages (30% and then 25%) and charge very slowly until it seemingly straightens itself out. The phone is on the stock 4.2.2 ROM and from what I hear I can't mess with the battery calibration file. Are there any tricks to try and get it straight again or is the battery likely failing?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hi_cannon:
Wow, I'm very impressed you managed to pry apart the unibody to replace the battery. Having bought some replacement laptop batteries myself, I feel like it's hard to say. How certain are you that it was manufactured by HTC? And how sure are you that it is for the HTC One X? Because it really sounds like your battery is failing. Or maybe the connector is lose? Whatever the case, if you let the battery drain completely (like till it turns off), and then charge it again, it should recalibrate. Good luck!

1. Depending on your device, and your app set up, it will make your device run smoother. But then there's ak kernel too. ak has more options and you have to tweak your own set up. Franco has his set up built into the kernel already to make it run optimized.

2. Yes

You need to flash the latest franco again. Mahdi flashes it's stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Kernels need to set in on your device. Give it a few hours. Also sometimes smoothness doesn't have to be felt, but how a piece of software runs is how efficient it is.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDafiDak:
hmm now iam thinking its fixed just because its back to its original kernel again, you sure that if i flash franco now it will be good?

lets say it wont, will i be able to just flash mahdi 2.8 again, and fix it again?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
It's because of the old commits in the previous Mahdi releases. The kernel has the latest commits and the ROM was not updated for it. The one you downloaded was 09/03 version but the commit was weeks after 3rd of Sept, requiring a ROM update.Now that you have the latest, you won't experience any of these issues again.

alright, reflashing franco r21( also wiping cache/dalvik hopefully i need to do it again)
