Unfortunately I don't know how to
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] graffixnyc:
I can. I just complied what was there the first day. I didn't make any changes or anything but I got it to compile fine. BUT my bootloader is still locked so I can't test anything.. lol I really don't want to unlock it until we can get at least temp root so I can back up the TA partition
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] istux:
The problem is: how long?

One day, one month, one year... NEVER? :D

We need you so much guys in development sections :crying: but I can understand your worries about those damned DRM keys :mad:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm redoing commits etc. Check Z3 thread for details. New builds will come soon :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mmeidl78:
Don't get it. When I look into the Z3C Directory on Megaupload it's empty?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
There should be some folders with release number.

Anyway I got mobile data running on Z1, ZU. I'm working on fixing Z1c release as well as on Z2 release with another dev. As soon as those are ready Z3 and Z3c will get a new version with hopefully working modem and mobile data etc :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nelvinchi:
I can... have compiled images for Z3C (aries) and Z3 (leo) from latest source (5.0.0_r7). Working on an unsecured boot image and TWRP recovery image.... :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, pm me for hangouts if you wanna work together :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Mind if I ask how deep into this TWRP recovery build you are? I was just about to start doing research and downloading all the sources when I read this, wouldn't like wasting all that bandwidth and time for nothing.

Also, how hard is it to implement a recovery into a kernel here? From past Xperia experience, it should be somewhere in the ramdisk, right? Would copying Doomlord's recovery into the ramdisk of this boot.img work? (And with that, does the boot.img come with the stock ramdisk? If so, we could just use Doom's ramdisk for the time being to not have to switch kernels for every flash.)

Man oh man the thrills of WIP threads.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
If you guys wan't twrp recovery and don't get it compiled I can help if I find some time between my aosp work :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Nah, you work on that. Can't have you do everything :P

I'd appreciate an answer or an explanation regarding my question though. I'm downloading your images and have yet to unlock my bootloader, so I can't test this recovery ramdisk thing by myself to find out.

EDIT: I saw on the Z1 thread changelog you've added CWM for the Z3 and Z3C in version 2.5. (WOO)

And about that recovery thing; swapping your ramdisk with Doom's should work, right? I have something but for some reason I can't unlock my bootloader to try it out :T
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nelvinchi:
Sent you a PM with project status update and hangouts id.....

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Hi!

I haven't started looking at the recovery image, have been concentrating on an insecure boot image.... (going very well, testing underway!)

Doomlord/Androplus kernel is based on stock, so won't be compatible.... (as far as I know....)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
The kernel, yes. But I'm wondering about the ramdisk. If the ramdisk used in this Lollipop ROM is the same as stock, we could instead just use Doom's ramdisk until somebody makes TWRP.

A recovery really makes any ROM easier to use, imo at least. No hotswapping kernels to get gapps and root up :T

EDIT: Hooray, bootloader unlocked! Flashing this right after unlocking results in a bootloop.

I just fastboot flashed the cache, system and boot, but it refuses to boot up...

Ehh, time to download that 1.2GB stock FTF I guess. This thing is gonna come in handy in the following months I see xD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nelvinchi:
What happens when you boot? Do you get the "Android" logo on the screen, then nothing happens? If so, give it ten minutes - when flashed my compiled AOSP boot and system images, it stuck on the "Android" screen for a long time, then went to "Android is upgrading".....

Question: any reason you are flashing cache?

I can upload my boot.img and system.image if you like, they work fine for me....

EDIT: I will look into the ramdisk compatibility...

:D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Thought cache was something of importance, wouldn't flash it in my dreams if I knew it was empty xD

I'm getting the kernel logo (white Sony on black background) and reboots, but I can't pull a single log from the phone to see what the problem could be. :T

The image sizes check out but I can't check if the md5s match.

And thanks for looking into that ramdisk thing. I've already done something but I ran out of time to test and even see if they're the same.

EDIT: To note though, I didn't reboot after unlocking the bootloader, I just flashed the images. Could that be the cause (I thought fastboot oem unlock only formats userdata...?)?

EDIT2: Apparently something was wrong with the kernel... I redownloaded it, and despite the size staying the same (to the byte), it now booted to the start of the boot animation (that android text). Waiting for the colorful circles to start jumping around now :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nelvinchi:
Ah, you won't have a backup if you flashed AOSP straight after unlocking... you could fastboot doomlord or androplus boot image, you then have recovery, then sideload a stock rooted kitkat ROM....?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Yeah, downloading that stock FTF I mentioned earlier. Annoying, but it'll work as a backup.

Have been waiting for this thing to boot for the past 5 minutes.

I feel like I'm back in 2011 again, getting my first Android toy and figuring out how to pretty much do anything xD

EDIT: WiFi and cellular connection refuse to work, but it seems smooth and didn't drain too much battery on my end.

You say there's battery drain, I say WiFi doesn't work. :T
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pabx:
We have all hardware running on the Z (C6603) - if mobile data does not work, you are probably missing support for uid-based routing.

This should do it:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yeah, I already committed them ;) but thx anyway. I just have a busy life so can't work too much on this. Anyway I'm working with [MENTION=3903113]nelvinchi[/MENTION] now so he can build too and builds will come faster ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Burakki:
Hi, I would try Android 5.0 on my z3 compact, but I did not understand what works in this rom and if it is usable on a daily basis.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Not a daily driver, unfortunately. The list of features working can be found in the OP but your mileage may vary.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RedskinWashingtons:
So has this thread stranded? Hasn't been a new build since it was posted... I really wanted AOSP on my Z3c, because Sony's software was one of the biggest downsides while considering buying it :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
You should consider looking at the developers' GitHub accounts to see their activity rather than expect them to update the thread every time something is made.

Obviously, the developer (or a team, perhaps, as other Xperia Z series Lollipop threads state) does not deem the progress made sufficient to post a new build.

And take that GitHub thing with a grain of salt -- perhaps the work is being done locally and not pushed (yet?).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RedskinWashingtons:
Right, sorry about that... I'm kind of new so hadn't thought of that. I'm just really looking forward to using AOSP haha, it's kind of hard after having a Nexus 5 for a year.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] g0ldenchild562:
I been checking the thread everyday for a ASOP daily driver. I hope one come sooon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm getting a Z3 Tablet Compact LTE today, should help Z3 and Z3c development ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mmeidl78:
Sounds great!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tomcat84:
Have fun with it, it's such a great piece of hardware! So light, perfectly sized, feels great in the hand... :D

I hope it will gain the popularity it deserves...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sessingø:
Great work, keep it up! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] lnxcat:
Getting excited about this aosp build...

Planing to buy this phone soon
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Tablet was out of stock, but I'll get it next week for sure :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION], a question;

Would using the stock kernel source contribute to stability?

I saw a Z2 Lollipop thread that allegedly uses their stock sources and it has much less issues than the build you've published with the unified kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] redlabour:
Same like in the Z3 Topic - thank you for your efforts. But this thread should be renamed to Alpha. Beta implies at least the rudimentary functions (Camera, LTE, GPS, Phone, WiFi) are available for me. Will give it a chance if it becomes usuable for Beta Testing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RedskinWashingtons:
Hate to ask, but any progress.?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] km8j:
Bingo
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] redlabour:
Seems like there is no more progress.....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Burakki:
I think that all efforts have been moved to the porting of cm12
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
What makes you say that? FXP's (empty and abandoned) thread?

Anyways, I've been lurking around the Z3 (leo) forum the past few weeks and recently saw a few people suggesting using some libs from stock inside Lollipop (be it CM or AOSP); some of them report a working RIL after that.

Would any brave soul who has the time like to test this on our Aries (if anyone's already running Lollipop -- which I doubt -- I can pull the lib files from my stock-ish Z3C and paste them here)?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RedskinWashingtons:
May I ask why the development has come to a (almost) complete halt.? The latest git commit was more than 3 weeks ago, and FXP hasn't really let themselves hear either. I'm just looking for a 5.0 build with a working modem, I can deal with crashes and things like that.

I might be hugely underestimating the work that goes into this of course, but the deafening silence in the Aries development forums just makes me uneasy and makes me doubt if Z3C development will ever take of?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Burakki:
CyanogenMod team is working to officially cm12, they carry on the modding of this device

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/z3c,n,z
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
It's December. Holidays and all that.

Though I do agree with Burakki; there is some activity going around the githubs and stuff. You'll have to dig pretty deep to find any of it tho.

Also our device doesn't seem to be called Aries in the CM trees but rather Z3C (similar to how Z3 isn't Leo). I guess "first come, first serve" principle works in the open source community :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] HosainH:
thank god, i been waiting for CM since I bought the phone!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dillalade:
CM. Yessssss finally.

We all want something to try. And cm are the cornerstone of custom ROMs. Bring it on
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
All work is done behind the scenes in cooperation with another dev at the moment ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Ethenyl:
Keep it up :D You guys are awesome ^^
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mattdm:
It's nice to know it's being worked on officially! What I really wish for, though, is a good CM11 build for the Z3C. Can't switch to LP until xposed works with ART.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Well again, it's the holiday season. I know a lot of people (myself included) who would love to get their hands on some code and try making builds of pretty much anything that comes across their mind if they found the time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mattdm:
Yeah I totally understand, and I don't expect anything for several weeks. I'm just afraid that even when everyone has the time, no one will focus on Kitkat, only on Lollipop.

Maybe xposed will have ART compatibility by then and it won't matter...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Fixed some Z1 issues, now I'll try making a new Z3 family build :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robin>Hood:
There are some devs working on a CM11 rom for the Z3. Still in early stages, but you can count on it that once that is finished it will be available for the Z3C within no time :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] gibihr:
Not to disappoint you guys, but the project about cm11 on z3 has been given up, from what I understood in the experimental cm11 z3 thread
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] g0ldenchild562:
Im thinking of selling my z3c and getting a Nexus device. All these restritction with bootloader and long development for asop has taken its toll. I hope Sony help out the developmental community soon.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] adwienc:
Me too. I'll wait for Lollipop, and if it disappoints I'll ditch Z3C, on software side it's really terrible.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] ovizii:
I traded in my Z1c for a z3c and am starting to regret it :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
FFS guys. This is a great phone, even without the damn DRM keys. Take it or leave it, shove it up your butt if you so desire, but keep your complaints and life plans in another thread or (preferably) yourself.

There are people working hard to get ROMs working -- if you want to see anything working, wait up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] ovizii:
Lol, I didn't say anything about any drm keys, I don't care about those, just eagerly waiting for an alternative ROM, any at all will do :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] miximasm:
Can anybody pack latest version for z3c into zip, sutable for flashing it with recovery? Is it somehow possible now?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Gairtial:
The FreeXperia project has builds available at http://depositfiles.com/folders/UV7VKQFY2 (look for the one with aries in the name).

EDIT: Sorry, mistook your question somehow. No, the AOSP builds aren't being packaged into flashable ZIPs at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Made a mirror of that thing. The December 29th build is on my Drive, if you're feeling adventurous (link in my signature).

Also smaller size and faster downloads.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] miximasm:
Zis is not .zip, and not even close to be flashable through recovery.

Maybe someone knows how to flash those .img files using only phone, without BB?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
I know, just wanted to alert you if you wanted to download to prevent you from waiting 2 hours to download.

If by BB you mean BusyBox, I don't see why you wouldn't have that installed. But anyways, I don't think that's possible with an app. It probably is using a terminal emulator, but I cannot find anything about flashing a system.img onto Android through Android on the Internet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] miximasm:
BB stands for "Big Brother" many people call PC in that way

I also didn't mentioned anything about using android OS for flashing. There might be a way to create flashable zips right on the device. I've found out, that flashable kernel zip is actualy boot.img file with Meta-inf folder... thought that creating a flashable zip for this rom is not the greatest problem to solve, if at least one person here knows, what should be in the Meta-inf folder.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Lol never heard of that.

Your question was how one could flash .img files with only a phone. You did mention flashing without using a PC (you didn't say from where you'd like it to be done though), which I said could probably be done via a terminal emulator application from inside Android. So that's one solution that does not require a recovery (which, again, you didn't say you wanted to use).

Making these images into recovery-flashable .zip formats is quite frankly impossible. You can add the boot.img to a zip, but there's no way to convert a system.img into recovery-flashable form -- ROMs that use zips (eg CM, PA etc.) have some special scripts that compile the source into a zip. AOSP as Google delivers it only allows for creating .img files.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] miximasm:
That explained a lot... I'll probably continue searching on that. Maybe I will find anythyng, and maybe I won't
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] z3c_user:
I downloaded the thing and "fastboot flash"ed it onto my device. It gives me a working Android but doesn't recognize my SIM card at all; initially it tried to activate the mobile network during the first power-on but went into some kind of endless loop so I pressed "skip" which landed me in a working Android environment but without SIM (went to settings and tried to "select provider" there but no luck - endless "searching" animation).

Also I was able to run the Clockwork Rescue before installing this (by pressing the volume-up button during boot); this doesn't work any more now (don't know if it would have been supposed to).

Bye

Frederik
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
If you're talking about the FreeXperia build that I linked to before, you're best off talking about it in its own thread.

If not, I have no idea what Clockwork Rescue is. If you mean recovery, no, no AOSP ROM as of now has a recovery integrated so that's why it won't work.

The RIL issues are well known, as are some battery drain and heat ones.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] z3c_user:
Ah sorry, yes. And I did mean Clockwork Recovery, not Rescue. Sorry I'm new to this business. It seems I will have to do some more reading up on everything. I kicked out the software that was on the device from factory because I don't want any Google services but I found that whatever it is I now have also starts "Google Play Services" and helpfully informs me that "Google Analytics Service is in use" so I may have misunderstood the whole thing, and have installed something else than what I was looking for really. I guess that in between FreeXperia, AOSP, CyanogenMod, and whatever else, I'll still have to learn what builds on what. -- What would be the right thread to participate in if one has the hope of running a z3c stripped of Google as far as possible? I'm not an Android expert but adventurous enough to load anything onto the device and see what happens.

Bye

Frederik
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] x1123:
in THIS SONYMOBILE DEV AOSP BUILD INSTRUCTION No explanation, will the AOSP sony build will have " swipe to wake feature " (?). How about this rom ? have swipe to wake feature (?) stock rom have swipe to wake feature which is very handy.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] jsscx:
No swipe to wake in stock rom either,just dt2w,and I noticed in cm12 github of z3c,there's comments about dt2w.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] x1123:
Okay well noted dt2w ... I prepared by box to sync with cm12 sources. Is z3c CM stock kernel have this dt2w feature or we need to tweak something. I just upgrade my box OS to linuxmint 17.1 rebecca. I did not find any ready aosp rom for z3c. we have to build ourself I think :D

I saw someone has unlocked his/her device bootloader. I just completed build an AOSP for D5803 and do not want to open New Thread. Can I post my build here for someone to test. Unless the OP permitted I do not wanna to "hijack" this thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
If it's only a build from source, don't bother, as FreeXperia already has a build of that. If you've actually made some changes to the code (that change something), I'm sure OP wouldn't mind a link.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] x1123:
No I did not make any change (yet) on the code. since I don't know what need to tweak until we know what is the problem ... :D You are right FreeXperia is the team where we can rely on. I was HTC and Nexus device User. This is first time I own sony Z3 compact. I own Z ultra, and xperia U but did not use it. I bought both "dead" phone and revive them, since I involve on "hardware" tweak rather than software tweak. Thanks anyway ...

Thanks (I hit thanks button too). Can you elaborate how your device setup. Which cwm/twrp u used to flash, what gapps u installed (I usually put minimum gapps on early stage I.e just a login google service app). I did not dig into your logcat but in brief many of gapps giving error. I will take a look further on provided logcat.

I will consider to unlock my boot loader then
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] jsscx:
I used twrp and slim mini lollipop gapps.
