Well, I didn't read any code at all ;) But what I did was installing 20150508, and this time I was at the office and with adb ready.

What I noticed:

- As soon as logcat is ready, I ged qdoverlay-spam (that was after password entry, but before the application update spinner).

- The logo animation before the optimisation spinner sometimes looks good, sometimes stuttering (but the logcat error is always present).

- While the blue alien logo was showing, I already got a ton of messages about "Compilation of xx took yy ms".

- When the (good looking) spinner was drawn, I also got qdoverlay spam.

I think the last point is very interesting, since it implies that qdoverlay may not be the problem we have, but gets output any frame anyways. What I also noticed: One of the first things to happen after optimisation (In reality ART compiling) is over is the message "05-08 12:45:46.069 I/SystemServer( 3017): Status Bar" Which I assume means that the SystemServer starts the Status Bar service. This would imply that the error lies in the Status Bar process.

Also, one second later I get the message that the EGL driver got initialized:

Could someone of the people using a non-encrypted phone have a look if this spam is also present for them? - just start logcat with display on phone enabled, takes only 10 seconds.

Hi guys, I've just noticed this behavior on my Z3.

I am running the 20150509 nightly, and when I attempt to play music through the speakers at max volume, it initially plays at that correct volume, before rather quickly and automatically reducing in volume.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon, and if yes, do you have a solution to stop it?

EDIT: This behavior also affects my alarm. It begins at a volume and quickly fades to a much softer volume.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] meinnameisthase:
Yep, that's a known issue, with many others concerning sound and audio. And there"s no easy solution at this point.

Hopefully, FXP will bring another CM 12.1 with 3.10 kernel, maybe this will fix some issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
And the persuit to normal framerates on encrypted devices continues.

Still posting about amami, but z3c seems to have the same problems. Posting here since an actual discussion about the issue is here, but not on the amami side of the development.

After today's update (before that the last version I used was 20150508, now 20150511), I noticed much higher framerates. The phone felt like new and double-speed, so to say ;)

I noticed in logcat that the qdoverlay-spam is still present, but with a reduced frequency ("only" 180 lines, with 4 lines per message this means 45 occurences. But several of these are at the same time and with different parameters).

ndoo: Can you confirm for the z3c that the situation got better?

@Everyone: Could anybody of you who hasn't encrypted their device have a look at logcat and report if they have errors from qdoverlay all the time? (All the time means multiple times every second). This would really help to confirm that the problems are directly connected to the encryption. Thanks!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] polik1:
Could someone tell me what's the diference between this 'unofficial' CM12.1 and the one from official CM download site? Sizes for corresponding files (looking at release dates) are different, so which one should I choose?

Thanks in advance! :)

There is no noticeable difference my friend. I am using Cyanogen nightlies because they are daily. You can use whatever you want. [MENTION=4487592]polik1[/MENTION]

I also wonder if I can relock bootloader after flashing CM 12.1 and will this fix quality of low light pictures.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Zwulf:
If you relock bootloader when using CM there are two problems:

1st you'll have to restore TA partition (automatically deleted on unlocking BL), simply relocking won't bring back Sony enhancements, not even in stock fw).

2nd and most important: you will get stuck in a bootloop. Locking bootloader means that BL will only accept kernels that are signed by Sony, which isn't the case for CM. So bootloader won't accept the (custom) CM kernel and won't boot up the system.

That's why I'm sticking with stock and hoping for someone to bring up some possibility to also use dark themes (really hate all that white in stock) or a system-wide dark mod, not only single mods for dialer etc. Any other important feature (for me) I can get with Xposed...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] was12:
There is no RAW support in this rom. Camera quality worse than stock rom but still quite well. I guess that's because lack of DRM keys.

Anybody got the 0531 fxp build running successfully?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] huskyuk:
Any news on the development of this ROM? When will we have a stable version? Using CM on my galaxy tab2 for 2 years now, with absolutely no issue so far.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dominik_c:
Hi all,

Since nightly build 0531, my phone will heat up and battery will drain in ~5h (lasted for 2 days before). Battery usage shows that "Mobile network signal" is causing this. Restricting "Preferred network type" from LTE to 3G helped a bit (~8h of battery), putting phone to airplane mode will give battery mileage as before, since the mobile network connection is shut down. Wiped everything and installed 0610 build today, but the issue persists. Since this will kill battery life, I am very keen on finding a solution. Please tell me if I can provide some further information (log file, or similar) to help with diagnosing/solving this issue or if there is a better place for this post.

I would revert to some pre-0531 build, but the download links for older builds on cyanogenmod page are dead.

BTW, the issue with speaker output being first normal then muted down is resolved now.

Thanks a lot for any help!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] arsradu:
Hey guys

I'm the owner of a brand new Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803). And I was thinking rooting it and installing CM12.1 (seems to have official support) on it.

Now, on my previous phone (an SGS4 Mini), in order to do that, I had to root the phone, install a custom recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery, to be exact) and only after that, flash the ROM and the Gapps.

I would really appreciate if someone could guide me on how to get CM12.1 on my z3c, as well. Or if there is already a tutorial on that, maybe point me to that location.

Also, is this process reversible? Cause on the Samsung, due to the new and very annoying KNOX thingy that they implemented, it is reversible, meaning you will be able to flash back the stock ROM, but you will still lose your warranty and it will still show an ugly yellow text when booting up.

So I'm curious how is it on the z3c. Can anyone help me better understand this?

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Did you read what was he asking? He is talking about stock themes, not cm themes

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Hi! Welcome to this awesome world of z3c!

About your request, I recommend you that first root your device following this guide if you're still on kitkat or want to go all the downgrade way or use a more easy way using kingroot with just one click ,then install xzdrecovery, which will allow you to flash superSU to get rid of all kingroot stuff. After that you can use this tool to backup al your DRM stuff and allow you to relock your bootloader everytime you want or need. After that, you're free to unlock your bootloader (Google it for Sony unlock bootloader) , and then you will have to download CM12.1 zip on your PC, extract boot.img and fastboot flash boot.img from there (fastboot flash boot boot.img) that will let you have a working recovery to flash the entire CM12.1 zip from your device (or sideload it). If you are unsatisfied with the result, just flash a stock ROM from here using flashtool and follow this guide then, re-root and use again Backup-TA tool to restore your DRM partition and that will lock your bootloader again.

Hope this helps you!

Thanks lot!

I'm still at the very beginning of what you said in this post. :)) Apparently there are a bit more things to do on this device, compared to my previous one. It looks a bit complicated to me.

Now, a few things I would like to make sure I properly understood (well, a lot more than that, but I'm working on the other ones :)) ):

In order to root this phone, I don't need to unlock the bootloader? What kind of root is that? :)) Not that I'm complaining or anything. But even Nexuses need the bootloader to be unlocked in order to root the device. Maybe I missed something.

There is no root method for Lollipop? I'm on stock 5.0.2 right now. So, in order to get rooted, I need to downgrade to KitKat? Did I get that right?

On my previous phone, I had Superuser (not SuperSu) built within the CM12 OS. So I actually didn't need a separate app for that since it was already there. I thought this is for most if not all CM12 users. But now I see that I'm required to install SuperSu, which I'm not really a big fan of. So I was thinking is this still the case or is this from an older version of CM?

For all this I need a Windows machine, right? For as far as I could see, some tools do have Mac OS (which I'm currently using) versions. But for root, I would still need a Windows PC. Right? Not that I couldn't just boot into Windows anytime I want. But I just wanted to make sure I got this right.

Again, thank you very much for your support. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] espaciosalter20:
I'm going to try to answer all your questions :

1. Thanks to zxz0O0 user, we first achieved root without unlock bootloader and that was huge on this subforum, unfortunately, was only reserved for kitkat stock ROM, doesn't work on lollipop stock ROM.

2. For lollipop, kingroot provides a easy way to root without the need to downgrade to kitkat.

3. Really don't know how CM12.1 works right now about root permissions, but after you secure your TA partition on stock ROM, you don't need superSU anymore if you don't want to use it

4. Yes, is preferred you to use a Windows system to do all.this.

Glad to.help!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] arsradu:
Waw. Niice! I didnt think this was actually possible.

Ok, so this is an app for PC or phone that will root your phone in one click. Still without needing to unlock the bootloader (thus compromising that TA partition), right? It's in Chinese but I guess I don't need to know Chinese to click the only button on the screen. :)) So that won't be a problem.

Ok. I need root for the backup part, right? So after running kingroot, I need to make a backup of my DRM stuff, right? It won't be of any use in CM, I suppose, right? So I just keep it somewhere safe.

So Sony devices don't come with a default recovery? Did I get that part right? That's why I need to flash a custom one, right? I suppose this is also the reason why I need a custom recovery in order to flash CM12.1 on my phone. Since I don't know if CM can run without one.

Another thing, since I don't already have a custom recovery, I need the "installer" version of that xzdrecovery recovery, right? Cause there is also a flashable zip version of it, and I was wondering how the hell do I install that with no default recovery. By the way, the link posted by you redirects to a page not found error. And yes, I know why. Don't worry about it. Just saying, so that you know. :)

Can CM12 run on a locked bootloader? :)) Probably stupid question. But this forum seems to pack some really interesting tricks I never thought were possible. So...I'm asking.

One thing I didn't quite understand in your initial post: why do I need to flash part of CM12.1 to have a working recovery? Is the recovery not usable after installing it? Does it need a "simulated" ROM in order to be accessible/visible? I mean, on my SGS4, I just had to have a custom recovery (in my case it was CWM, but I'm not sure there is such a thing for the Z3C) and then just boot into it and flash CyanogenMod ROM or any other custom ROM for that matter. I didn't have to "split" the installation. First the boot.img, and then the rest (which will basically rewrite the boot.img anyway). So this part is still a bit confusing to me.

I've been using official cm12.1 nightlies as a daily driver for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues with stability.

---------- Post added at 01:53 ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 ----------

I'm posting my findings here too, as it's an issue concerning the cm kernel. When playing around with M5 kernel, I realized only one of the CPU core's frequency gets lowered when the temperature reaches high enough. With a stock Sony kernel all cores are affected. The current behavior leads to some really high temperatures, while testing I could reach high 70's without the phone even rebooting. I wasn't really in a need to push it further before I stopped my torture testing ;)
[MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
I've noticed that as well -- something's wrong with all CM12.1-based ROMs (not sure if it's a kernel thing, haven't really gone into much testing). Something is causing high temps and battery usage. And as I understand it, the Z3C is not the only device to be experiencing these symptoms.

I've moved back to CM12 in the meantime, the battery life there seems twice as good.

(also you shouldn't report errors about nightlies when using a modified system, just so you know most maintainers will dismiss your report)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sm4tik:
I've tested it with a recent nightly with the stock cm kernel, that's why I'm posting it here. With normal daily tasks this is not a problem and the battery life is decent here also (2 days with ~7h sot). CPU temperatures stay at a 30-40C margin in normal use. (I don't play games so I'm happy with what I currently have.)

sorry for a late edit and an off topic question but which cm12 build are you using?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mkkyah:
sd card not writable

Hi,

I was a happy CM user on my Xperia V, so I have directly installed CM12.1 Nightly on my new Z3c. I did some mistakes, learned new things and now it seems almost perfect to me. Thanks to everybody for developing, sharing and helping.

I have realized one annoying problem while setting Titanium Backup's backup folder; Apps can't write to sd card. I thought this is a problem with stock roms, not with CM. I also had no problem with CM11, CM12, CM12.1 on my Xperia V with same sd card. Camera app is also asking to insert a SD card before using the camera. And it stucks on that screen, only way to escape from that is to clear camera app data.

Did I forget a step?

Notes:

-I did flashed by mistake supersu with CM12.1 nightly, but wiped system and reflashed last nightly without SuperSu; root access to apps and ADB is enabled by Developer settings.

-I have cleaned, formatted Sd card both on PC and CM itself. I have also tried another SD Card.

Edit:

Problem solved with installing SdFix app and reboot. I'm still confused about why CM needed this.

Who says there is no camera? I think you are wrong. I've been using carbon rom for a long time as my daily driver and I'm extremely happy. Everything working (camera, radio fm, etc). Even dt2w can be turned on (i think cm don't have it implemented).

There is only one main problem and it is camera quality. It suffers eye fish effect and bad low light results because it uses z1 drivers and lense properties. Not really noticiable in normal usage.

yes in cm almost everything is working, except for the camera fisheye effect :o (and it is noticiable, at least for me ;) ). a part from this all aosp roms are working pretty nice. be ready to flash fota recovery though, included cm recovery is very very bad and useless (for me)

I want to flash cyanogenmod to my device. Because of this i have started reading around and found some points i want to verify, because i'm not realy sure if i understand all right :confused:

DRM Key backup is useless for CM Rom, but is needed on restoring Original Sony Rom. There is no way to use the Sony image post processing algo's with CM?

Custom Recovery is not really working fine with CM, Custom Recovery from CM should be used.

Camera is working without postprocessing from sony, so photos in dark enviroments looking bad.

Currently i'm on Stock (unrooted). It's enough to Unlock the BL and starting with flashing boot.img, or do i need to root the phone first?

Thats it for now :D
