I'm wondering, as there isn't an official cm13 yet. If you flash this and use the DRM recovering from here. http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

Will cm12.1 make use of those features ?

I've always wanted CM, but never installed because DRM features were missing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] qubbey:
Habe you read the first post of that thread ??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] fusk:
Yes, but i always ask if i don't think i've understood it all.

The CM12.1 nightlies are completely functional. They are receiving the usual CM updates and developments, even today. Just have a look, mate!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] vcdwelt:
What is "completely functional" for you? Is there anything new on the Camera Bug (Fisheye) :confused:

This is the onling thing preventing me from flashing CM to my Z3C and exactly this makes the Rom not completely functional for me...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Rhetorical question, isn't it?

I never noticed the fisheye effect, but was not really looking for it, to be honest. So far the camera seems okay, leaving the low light noise aside.

I will have closer look tonight. Just to satisfy my own curiosity. ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] vcdwelt:
Would be nice to hear from you with an update :)

Low light problems are known and should not be the problem. But this "Fisheye" Bug was a show stopper for me. You can see it best when taking photos from something linear.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
God ****ing dammit people -- if it gets fixed it'll be on every Indian and Chinese "Xperia" blog on the planet; you'll hear of it if it happens.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] qubbey:
It's visible on every photo that contains straight lines. But it's not a fisheye (barrel distortion), it's the oposite (pincuchion).

An example from my recent photos. Hint: This is not a curved TV

The top and bottom line of the TV are pulled towards the center.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Checked it yesterday. The effect is present. The thing is: I haven't noticed in daily camera usage.

Anyway, for me battery is superb, GPS is working fine, overall system performance is great. I have no reason to complain.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)

[MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION]

Because i have also something called "Real Life" and "Family" I'm not able to watch Indian and Chinese Xperia Blogs all the time. Also i don't understand this languages :p And it seems, this bug is nothing real big for a lot of users...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
You tried so very hard to passive-aggressively insult me you didn't stop to think what I was implying. Let me guide you through: if it's going to literally be all over the news, how do you expect to avoid it? You don't, because you simply can't.

I'm in school nearly 24/7, how do you think I keep up with these stuff? It's everywhere, of course I'm bound to see it sooner or later.

I know it's nothing big for most users but some of you are acting as if repeating the question over and over again will speed up development and that this issue has been forgotten about. It won't and it hasn't been.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] vcdwelt:
[MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION]

Maybe you ever heard about something in your 24/7 school thats called fun :eek: Don't take this thing so serious. Nobody tried to insult you :cowboy:

I asked because someone wrote "completely functional" but this is a statement you can see with different eyes. Because everybody has other focus on his mobile. And maybe it is solved somedays and no xperia blog or other blog is reporting about this, because they didn't notice it. I'm active in this Forum for a very long time and you won't believe what happened in this Forum an no Blog did take note of it :cyclops:

So have a nice day :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] qubbey:
It's functional by means of good for daily driver. No doubt it's a great ROM.

But it already was like this half a year when I got the phone. It seems nothing changed over this time and this threads looks pretty dead. It's sad that such a gread device isn't supported that much. I know a lot of different devices with huge developer participation in the forums.

The only bugs I can complain about (because they are present from the beginning) are:

Camera, compared to any other device I know the photos are completely crap as long as the light is not perfect, but since I don't use it that often I can live with this.

If the device is connected via magnetic docking port, it wakes up, even if the settings are disabled for this.

If the device is disconnected from magnetic docking port, music stops.

While connected via magnetic docking port and the screen is off, the volume buttons won't change volume but instead act as media buttons (prev/next track), if media buttons are enabled in settings.

The last 3 are annoying because I have such a dock next to my bed and I like to listen to music before sleeping.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] istux:

It's still great rom for daily driver, fastest, stable, battery friendly.

Currently using it, I dont care nougat anymore.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] derf elot:
FYI, if you care about security issues, I am building CM12.1 with kernel security patches applied about once per month. The kernel is not maintained by CM anymore, so I have applied some 100-200 patches against CVE's (including those from the Google Security Bulletin) and other issues in the kernel source.

Wil we get a upgrade?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Barua:
I know, i currently use this rom, but as i know it is just auto-cm updates, not rom base.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] derf elot:
Hi guys,

I uploaded a new version, with all security patches applied.

NOTE: If you are using Xposed, do NOT install this version yet because it WILL result in a bootloop. This is because of a Google patch and I decided not to introduce security holes to make Xposed work for now. rovo89 is actively working on a fix and is very close (see the progress here: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/issues/129). Once the new Xposed version is out, update it and only then flash the ROM afterwards.

Also note that, because I am using Xposed myself, I haven't flashed this yet myself. But I don't expect there to be any problems.

Download the ROM here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224400257

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Barua:
Hey, thank you so much, i will give it a try. Btw, can you teach me how can i compile my own build with latest patches? cos here development stopped, i dont know how long you will keep the updates. i have tried a few times, but failed, i have vps server, please pm.

Well, there is already some developement going on for CM 14.1 - look at this thread:

[ROM][EXPERIMENTAL][7.1][Z3C][UNOFFICIAL]CyanogenMod 14.1[2016/12/06]

Still a beta version, but worth taking a look at it :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] .:B:.:
Thanks a bunch. Unfortunately Doriandiaconu's 14.1 build wasn't stable enough for me, and I really don't like the stock Sony ROMs, so I'm very happy to have an up to date CM12.1 build.

Best wishes!

Hi there,

(taken from the Z1C thread, but also applies to Z3C): just finished making a new build. I have not been able yet to include a fix for one CVE (CVE-2017-0421), because backporting it is quite a pain. At least it's not a critical issue and everything else is fixed. I will work on it again when I have the time I also updated the F2FS drivers. You can download it here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862702671

I also made a new TWRP from these sources. Included now is

- ability to backup external SDcard

- ability to mount and backup potential SDext partition (2nd partition as ext4 on external SDcard)

- ability to backup to NTFS or exFAT drives (e.g. via OTG)

- F2FS support

Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767136925

If there's any problems with either of them, please let me know I am now using F2FS on cache and data and everything works fine, including encryption and mounting it in TWRP as well.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] zEminho:
Excellent ROM thanks

Can you tell me a compatible twrp?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] radkyz:
Installing TWRP on CM12.1 must be on FOTA partition. Using fastboot flash recovery it is not going to work, right?

Do I need to follow this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/general/twrp-recovery-to-fota-partition-guide-t3258821

Or maybe do you have simplier and better solution?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] guiguilein:
Thank you very much for making this new build!

Few questions though :

I'm currently running the last official cm12.1 build with cm recovery.

Can I dirty flash yours? Or should I first flash your twrp build first? If so, what's then the easiest/safest way to do so?

:good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] derf elot:
Hi all,

sorry for the late reply, life is mad busy these days.

please check the post right above yours ;)

yes, you should flash to FOTA. but you can do this with fastboot as well. flash to 'FOTAKernel' instead of 'recovery'

you should be able to dirty flash. I would recommend you do it via twrp though. so fastboot flash the image to FOTAKernel

will try to make an updated build with March patches this weekend.

cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] guiguilein:
Ok thanks for your answers.

I'll try to install TWRP this weekend.

Last question : i see that the official twrp app is also able to flash an image. Would it work with your build?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] op3n:
hi. why u dont try to continue Exodus build - cm12.1 ? have more things than simple version of cm lolipop :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] derf elot:
It should. but in the z1c thread one user reported that the recovery acted strangely after flashing to recovery. no idea why. maybe related to new stock bootloader? FOTAKernel should definitely work though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] derf elot:
Does this also apply once you used EMMA to flash a ROM with "real recovery" though? I don't really understand all ins and outs of the Sony booting process...

Also, I am not disagreeing with you, and it should work from my understanding. I was just writing about the experience of another user:

For any good use, on CM12.1, the SDCARD ''adress'' is /storage/sdcard1

so the relevant sentence is :

su

dd if=/storage/sdcard1/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Hi,

made a new build for CM12.1 and TWRP.

CM12.1 contains the March security updates.

Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298939882

TWRP is now version 3.1.0. I also removed the ability to backup SDext and SDcard partitions for now as there was some reported problems.

Hi, is somewhere a description about installing this rom ? I have stock 5.1 in my z3c with root and with Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip .

Can I copy cm-12.1-20170318-UNOFFICIAL-z3c.zip to sdcard and make install from my recovery ?

Edit. The answer is no .

1. Install adb/fastboot , drivers in your computer.

2. Unlock bootloader for be able to use fastboot . You can backup TA partition with DRM keys if you plan to return to stock anytime.

3. Run command line (cmd) , press VOL+ and connect usb cable to phone.

4. Run "fastboot devices" in command line for check connection

5. Flash boot.img to phone : fastboot flash boot boot.img_from_CMzipfile

6. Unplug usb, power on, and press VOL- to doble vibration, release VOL-

7. You are in the recovery, wipe all except external card

8. Install CM.zip file and next gapps.zip file

9. Restart

10. Do not configure , go back to recovery for fix DRM problem ( https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672 /crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672 )

yeah! it is indeed amazing!, flashing works very fine... calling and wifi works well too, i haven't tested battery life and other important parts.

though, i observed, boot recovery not so good, light don't open i think its too dark i can't see it and i am not sure about rooting as well...

but still, it was a successful flashing and work well as initial as of today...

thanks guys for this, i have to say, this is truly an awesome starts for CM12 for our beloved device, cheers!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pcmanmikail:
i think there is root :)

i think you must enable it at the developer setting ! :)

does the rom work stable ?

do you think i could use it as daily driver ?

i dont unlocked my bootloader yet so i want to know if its worth doing it for this ?

and sorry for my english
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] edcarsky:
okay, thats a good question... now my question, have you ever have an CM experience in your past device, if so, i think the answer is pretty clear, having a initial nightly build is a truly awesome, though, recommending as daily driver i think is a bit concerns as of this moment.

i manage to install the downloaded Gapps with the messy boot.img (recovery) which you have to reinstall from another boot.img such as Androkernel and need to revert back the orig boot.img from CM12.zip in order boot the device, its pretty messy really.

i hope they can fix this part and i hope i answer your question.

NB, this package root still not working or not rooted.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Unlock the bootloader when you see fit. A review of some sort is bound to be published (probably here) in a matter of hours, perhaps minutes even!

oh i thought that i only need too unlock my bootloader, install cwm recovery, downlaod zip and install (and gapps too) ?

so i did that withy my s5 and nexus 4...

could you write a guide how too install it ? :)

I dont understand why you said that i need too flash boot img or so ?

i thougt i ownly need to flash the zip file ? And gapps zip

And sry for my english :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] aardappel12:
Downloaded the file from above said link, had to edit the updater-script though.

Needed to add this

getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries"

to the first part in order to flash it. Now booted into it with PA Gapps package and setting everything up.

First things I noticed; Wifi and RIL are working.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pcmanmikail:
are you using it now on your z3c ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] aardappel12:
I am.

Also noticing some brightness flickering every now and then. Seems random.

Wondering how to change the recovery though, noticed there is like zero backlight in the cyanogen recovery and it doesn't flash everything :rolleyes:.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Doesn't flash anything as far as I'm concerned. The lack of a working recovery is annoying.

The brightness bar seems to go in loops (each 1/4th of the bar just goes from zero to 100% again) but so far that's the only issue I've found.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pcmanmikail:
How is the peformance ?

Is it faster then stock rom ? And have you run antutu ?

:)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] aardappel12:
Currently back on stock rom to make a proper backup of my apps with titanium backup as they don't seem to like Lollipop when backup made in Kitkat..

Follow this guide if anyone's interested in the same; http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help/how-to-restore-kitkat-apps-titanium-t3005385

Will report back and remove the link if it turns out not-to-work.

Will also reflash CM12 and before rebooting flash this; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

Hopefully I'll be able to keep TWRP&CWM on the side instead of that silly cyanogen recovery.

Again, will report back.

Edit:

Performance is nice, buttery smooth as expected. Did not run antutu, don't see the point in those scores.

Anyways; to summarize I love CM12, lollipop takes some getting used too but not in a bad way. At the moment just a bit annoyed that restoring apps with titanium backup is such a pain (lollipop issue, not rom) and that the cyanogen recovery does not function. The second link with [NUT]'s recovery does not keep that recovery after flashing CM12, it will still boot to cyanogen recovery and the first link did work to some extend, just not as reliable as I would like (some apps were fine, some were not).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mick711:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pcmanmikail:
so what you mean with cyanogen recovery does not work :)

i love cm12 but i dont know if it is usable as daily driver.

and if its worth unlocking bootloader and installing it yet :)

Root working.
