No Widevine DRM L1, Sometime strange Tick sounds, calls on ouput speakers

My reports on this first nigthly 20150121:

Seems like Widevine Level 1 is not there

I hear some light "tick" sounds from the speakers sometimes.

Tried one call but sound output went to speakers. Speaker mode resulted to mute

Cm clockwork mode was at 1% screen brightness

The Device is crazy smooth and fast (maybe the placebo effect)

Camera seems fine (will try some shots on sunlight tomorrow)

Gps lock is fast

...seems pretty usable to me

I can't get root to work properly. Did you use the one under developer options or did you flash supersu via recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
as all abovementioned, mine likewise... i had to return to stock, will wait a little soon to see the progress of upcoming updates... i wish recovery will address, it's very important... rooting, i have to say, maybe i missed to check it on settings, will see...

btw, to all the hardworking effort for port CM12, guys, this is a great job! above all, many thanks :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
you have to flash the boot.img coming from cm-12-20150121-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip in order to success the flashing.

Add this to the updater-script in the META-INF folder inside the zip:

getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sessingø:
Think i've figured it out.

Anyone having this error, download and extract Cyanogenmod, open updater-script located in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Replace it with this content (which basiclly just add's a check for aires).

Okay, just tried the cm-12-20150121-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip heres my review so far:

Super fast, responsive and for the most part working just fine. Calling and LTE appears to be working, along with WIFI and sound.

Wouldn't recommend it for daily usage though as the background light keeps flickering and it just doesn't seem ready as it is now - so in my opinion you're better off waiting a few days until some of the problems that haunts the current build are fixed.

Also NOTE that TWRP will be replaced with Cyanogenmod recovery which currently has a very low backlighting which makes is almost impossible to view anything. It makes it a bit harder to revert back, so just keep that in mind.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] aardappel12:
Just replaced the ramdisk-recovery.cpio from the cm12 boot.img with the ramdisk-recovery-twrp.cpio from androplus kernel and then repacked.

Could anyone that's on cm12 test this for me? Flash the .img file from fastboot and then boot into recovery.

Download: http://d-h.st/ze4J

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Doesn't the CM kernel support the extract_elf_ramdisk script anyways? If so, just grab a TWRP image from the net and fastboot flash it to the fotakernel partition.

EDIT: A dirty fix, but neverthless -- a 720p screen (I chose the trusty old nozomi) and

fastboot flash recovery file.img

TWRP boots but that's as far as I tested this.

EDIT2: It appears the recovery is incapable of mounting anything -- I wonder if that's also the case with the recovery that comes with CM12 by default; perhaps this is why it cannot flash anything? The brightness bug (each 1/4 th of the slider starts over) is also present in the recovery so it must be a kernel issue.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:

Thread update

Hy

For some user it's a Nightly built so not for daily use .

And for jerpelea can you please now update the first page because it's hard to find some information like fixe update root ...... and statut rom , on www.freexperiaproject.net for the moment no official support so this CM12 is not for this thread ?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] attn1:
To flash CM12 with the new simple recovery: (Prerequisites: Have adb and fastboot working on your PC and know how to start your phone in fastboot and recovery modes.)

Extract the boot image from the zip file on your PC.

Make SURE adb debugging is enabled on your previous ROM

fastboot flash boot boot.img

start the phone in recovery mode - it will be dim (fix in the works)

To fix the dimness, it is:

adb shell

echo 63 > /sys/devices/01-qcom,leds-d800/leds/wled:backlight/max_brightness

exit

In recovery:

Wipe data/Factory reset (if not updating Cyanogenmod)

Install Update > Install Update from adb (this will start sideload mode)

On the PC:

adb sideload cm12-blahblah.zip

adb sideload gapps-blah-blah.zip (make sure they are for Android 5)

Reboot.

To do backups with the new CM simple recovery:

Make sure adb is working on the current ROM.

Start CM simple recovery and do dimness fix above

adb backup boot -f boot.adb

adb backup system -f system.adb

adb backup data -f data.adb

Restore:

Make sure adb is working on the current ROM.

Start CM simple recovery and do dimness fix above

Wipe the cache partition

adb restore boot.adb

adb restore system.adb

adb restore data.adb
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] veimus:
My Easy way is:

- backup current ROM

- download and put cm12 ROM on external SD

- extract kernel from this cm12 zip and flash in fastboot

- power up phone, go to recovery mode

- do a full wipe

- select Aplly Update -> chose from sdcard1 -> select cm12 nightly zip

- after finish reboot phone :)

If you want restore orginal ROM just flash kernel what you had before and restore nandroid backup :]

Google Apps i got from here: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 now i test if they works :] i pick "micro version of gapps

Hey guys...

Backup my entire system on sdcard from recovery (i need to clean some space to not get a error)

Flash boot.img (copy from cm zip and use fastboot to flash)

fastboot devices

fastboot flash boot boot.img (get the file from the zip)

fastboot reboot

install from zip (cm rom)

I try to see/remove some bloatware from zip file, but now the app folder is on a dat file (system.new.dat), i try , but dont know yet how to open and manipulate this from a windows system.

reboot (i like to reboot before install gapps - experienced from cm11 x10 mini)

config something and look the so without gapps (very smooth)

reboot to recovery again

install gapps from zip (pico - only gplay and calendar sync)

get pico on [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942]

reboot again

all ok and clean

Very smooth and beautifull.

Some problems at moment...

1 - Nova launcher stay in a black screen when started (density on 280 - need uninstall to device back)...

2 - Reboot = turn off (even ctrl+alt+del)

3 - Dashclock configuration freeze the device (need boot to device back)

4 - Recovery cyanogen screen very dark (almost cant see the commands)

5 - RadarDroid problems with language

6 - Battery consuming more than usual (like 2x or 3x + than normal)

7 - 1 hour on use = 99% awake and 1% deep sleep (report again tomorrow)

8 - Dashclock time prevision dont working (maybe dont get gps yet - report again tomorrow)

9 - report again in a few days... using and testing at moment.

Working:

1 - Camera and video (not test or compare resolution yet)

2 - Wifi (conect to my net and looks ok)

3 - Autenticator WOW

4 - Armaria WoW

5 - Contacts imported from google account

6 - Calendar imported from google account

7 - Privacy is a must

Not tested yet:

1 - Bluetooth

2 - Calls

3 - Speaker

4 - etc...

Obs: Unique think i dont like on lollipop is this larges icons on drawer... rest is a must

Hope help all on new rom !!!!

Regards !!!!!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mmeidl78:
Hmpf. I cannot flash the current nightly over the nightly from yesterday. Tried a lot of the tutorials from above but it doesn't seem to work.

- I changed the file and add "aries" (worked with the first nightly without any problems yesterday)

- I've flashed the boot.img via fastboot

- I've tried to install the ZIP from sdcard - doesn't work and switches back to normal recovery after 5 seconds

- I've tried to install the ZIP via ADB - doesn't work. On the PC I've got a message "protocol fault - no status"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
guys, this recent build seems work perfectly already... in fact i tried several times and it really work well, though im having an issue in Titanium Backup which i cant fully jump in to CM12 bcoz of this matter and i cant restore all my apps...

is there anyway to fix tb, error mentioning in overview is hypershell which even backup and restore dont work... i tried also SuperSu recent build UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45 still not working... not back to stock ROM.

any advise, thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] veimus:
If backup created in TWRP can be restored in CWM Recovery then you don't need restore kernel :] I had TWRP before and i don`t know if backup files are compatible in both recoveries

Maybe try the beta release of TB ? https://twitter.com/TitaniumBackup
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] iksdehXD:
January 22th build:

Flickering Screen Workaround (at least for me):

Set Display Brightness to a fixed value (turn off automatic backlight adaption)

Root "issue":

doesnt exist, i just turned on root for apps (for adb not needed atm) and it works. The only App that i use that needs root is "Open Explorer Beta". So i didn't try it with other applications.

"Everyday functionality" is given:

Cellphone working

Battery usage not ridiculously (but definitly worse than most recent stockrom)

Camera is working

Music and Videos are playing well

Whats NOT working:

- Doubletap to wake up (although i configured it in Display menu)

- Camera Hardbutton

Conclusion:

I'll keep this rom, having it updated every day. I don't use gapps btw, i only use F-Droid and few apps from playstore I extracted from friends with gapps installed.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

OK, it DOES something, it takes a picture if ur in the camera app. But it doesnt open the Camera app from lockscreen or anywhere else.

P.S.:

Where can i edit posts in this forum...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Fudgemond:
I had this same problem with CM12 on my aging nexus7. What worked is installing SuperSU, allowing it root access after going into "developer options" and enabling root. Once SuperSU was installed, it handled all root requests and recovery from Titanium Backup worked.

note, i haven't tried the build 27 (cm-12-20150127-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip), will try it soon... and post here the result.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] roryrjb:
In the latest build (27-01) ambient light sensor is fixed. All other sensors and GPS are working as far as I can tell. Can't really think of anything that is broken, I haven't tried any rooting methods though as I don't use it.

Edit: ah yeah, double tap to wake still not working.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Seraphic:
Are calls working correctly? (IE, do they work normally and not just via speakerphone as per the official CM12 nightlies at present)? Camera working ok?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] roryrjb:
Just to be clear I am talking about the official CM12 nightlies, and actually I just checked and calls work fine EXCEPT via speakerphone, which is obviously more usable than the other way round. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Fudgemond:
I have now rooted and installed cm-12-20150127-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip on my z3c, but am now in the same position as you. SuperSU can't install and CM12 has installed it's own recovery so I'll have to figure out a way. Best to also keep an eye on the change logs in case there's a fix for the problems with root.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
i tried in any possible way to use both SuperSu and CM12 rooted vise versa, but no luck...

i agreed, i am tracking down the changelog of every build, hopefully, they'll address this issue, tb is really helpful in restoring apps, i cant's fully jumps in into CM12... :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Fudgemond:
I removed the non-functioning version of SuperSU and just went with the version of root that's supplied with the latest CM12 for the Z3C. Titanium Backup works and restores correctly once you allow it root access. A dialog box will appear asking you to allow root, and of course you do.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
what version of tb you have mate... can you attach here pls, i will check out, thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Fudgemond:
6.2.0.3, the latest available from Play.

Not overly happy about the swipe, then pattern to unlock the phone, oh Google...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
thanks mate, i can't wait to try it soon... i'll update the result here! cheers.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] spida_singh:
I managed to install the latest SuperSU by:

Fastboot Z3C Andro Kernel (after installing CM12)

Flash SupserSU zip using TWRP

Do not boot to system, power down straight away!

Fasboot the CM12 kernel again

Boot phone

SuperSU and root works perfectly fine after this, and Titanium backup works fine as well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] :
If you do this, make sure to install SuperSU as a /System app and install the backup script, so it will survive through nightlies. Both of these are done in SuperSU settings.

Question.

I rooted my device, backed up the DRM, unlock the boot loader, and installed CM12. Can i restore the DRM with CM12 or does it have to be stock rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] jug6ernaut:
I am assuming here, so someone please correct me if i am wrong.

You can restore from anywhere, you are simply writting to the partition. Restoring while you have CM12 does nothing though as nothing in CM12 uses the DRM keys, but you should be able to restore them when ever.
