You can use either kernel12 or m5. Both have intelli_thermal implemented and it's doing the job nicely. I've used kernel12 since it was updated to cm12.1 without problems and see no reason why m5 wouldn't act the same thermal wise. Just remember to reflash the kernel after each update as it gets overridden by the default one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
*cough* CyanDelta *cough*
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sm4tik:
Good tip! I'm on crDroid though, but certainly would (edit.. wtf?, wouldN'T!) oppose for it to get supported. I hope your cough gets better soon. By the looks of it, it sound pretty bad ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] BurnRubber90:
I tried Kernel12 and my phone got hot really fast. I read somewhere that so far, all kernels based on Cm kernel for the Z3C have a thermal bug that causes only the first CPU to throttle .
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
The custom kernels negate that to an extent by providing a custom thermal solution that you can tweak yourself. You just have to enable it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] psilocybenine:
One thing worth mentioning about your Question #4: I can't personally confirm what someone755 is saying however afaik if you don't get root before unlocking your bootloader then you lose the opportunity to backup your DRM, therefore your stuck with an unlocked bootloader and can't go back to stock firmware (again afaik) and can't claim a warranty on your device.

The only way to backup your DRM keys is to downgrade to pre Dec 2014 firmware, get root, use BackupTA to Backup your DRM keys. The moment you unlock your bootloader your DRM keys are gone for good and there is no going back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
You do not need root to use fastboot and flash a recovery. On any (normal) device.

You can, however, use the root exploit while your bootloader is still locked to backup your DRM keys. You can go back to stock firmware, and there's even a workaround for the DRM keys that you can flash. Locking the bootloader is also still possible. (Speaking from ~3 years' experience with Sony devices.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] vcdwelt:
Thanks for the warning, but i was already rooted several times on this Phone and have already some DRM Backups of TA-Partition ;)

Currently using CyanogenMod 12.1-20150727 NIGHTLY z3c and it seems to work really good for me! battery life is also quite good here.

Will something like TouchBlock find a way into CyanogenMod for z3c or does it not fit in the style (there are apps for it anyways).

Good luck and continue the awesome work!

some contact fields can't be used

I don't know when this happened, but for a new contact or an existing one some fields are not usable. The icons are there but there is no field to fill for them. Notes, web, company name and some of the others.

If the contact has that fields filled before, they are editable. Am I missing something to activate them?

Two CM 12.1 Questions

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours pouring over this thread and others and am still left with two questions.

I have CM 12.1 installed with the CM 12.1 bootloader/kernel/recovery. I can't seem to find a CM-compatible recovery with TWRP... <snip>

EDIT: I found a recovery that actually works. For those interested, it can be found here. And the reasons why nothing else was working for me are documented here (apparently there's some disconnects between TWRP and CM development).

I'm also curious who is currently doing most of the CM 12.1 development work for the Z3C (i.e. the current nightly builds on the CM site)? There's this FreeXperia thread and there's also a similarly sized CM 12 official nightly thread. The Z3C forums at the CM site have relatively little activity. So where's the best place to offer feedback to the devs?

It seems like the debloated stock 5.1.1 ROMs, such as Molly82's All In One and Slim are more popular than CM 12.1. I'm a little worried there's not enough "critical mass" behind CM for the Z3C?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mkkyah:
No, I have local contacts. But creating a google contact is resulting almost same.

You can see what I mean in the attached photos. First photo is a new created contact, second one is an old one with note field filled before this problem, you can edit it now.

There is no way to enter the fields without line; touching empty area, icon, holding long did not worked. I couldn't find anything in the menu, too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Though I'm on stock right now, since going to school requires I get that 2-day battery life from my z3c, one change has been merged into the CM repos. TWRP should start working once a build with that change comes out. (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/106586/ if you're interested)

There are a ton of mismatches between CM and TWRP, but the recovery situation on Sony devices is due to (1) CM maintainers not being prepared for the future (or anything other than the recovery CM uses, which is small and, for a lot of people, featureless) and (2) Sony for not including a recovery partition. TeamWin just develops a recovery that works; it's down to the maintainers to figure out how to get it to work though.

This is the real, "official" CyanogenMod thread for the Z3 Compact. All other threads are just to get "Thanks" from uneducated or ignorant users.

The work is mainly done by members of the FreeXperia Project, along with a few people that chime in with fixes from time to time. Your best shot at giving feedback would either be here or at the CyanogenMod IRC channel on Freenode (though if memory serves, bug reports from nightly builds don't get accepted). Opening up an issue on the respective repo's GitHub page might also be an option (though I'm not sure if that's taken seriously).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] FcukBloat:
...and about the bigger popularity of stock based roms over cm/aosp ones, the reason is simply explained: unfortunately all aosp roms share the same big bug on the camera, so if you need a working camera you can't stay with aosp roms right now, until it will be fixed (if it will ever be..)

I'd be the first one switching to aosp if that will happen, I've always been on custom with my previous phones in the past but now i can't... ;(

This is when alarm is active. It's a long standing bug

When alarm is off / non are set it reboots fine
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] qubbey:
Another bug is with the magnetic connector.

If I plug in the cable or pull it out, the screen goes on. Even so I unchecked wake on connection in the settings. (The setting works for the micro usb connector)

If the the phone is connected via magnetic port, the phone wakes up with volume buttons, even so it's disabled in the settings.

Further more a press on the volume buttons doesn't just turns the screen on, it also functions as media key if media control is enabled for long presses. So if the screen is off, music is playing and I want to increase the volume, I press vol-up (shortly, no long press), the screen goes on and the track changes. When the screen is on the volume buttons function normally.

And I'm still not able to save camera photos/videos on the sd card. If I set the destination of the stock CM camera app to sd-card, the images are not saved and for video recording it crashes. I have to use internal memory. I tried it with several other camera apps.

Can you post a few camera samples please?

Stock sony for me is lagging a lot =/

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Not exactly the best policy, switching ROMs whenever they start lagging.

Regardless though, here's some insight on the camera: The 'reverse fisheye' distortion looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5f9w268prouoj1/Screenshot_2015-07-11-19-21-53.png?dl=0 As far as the quality goes, many say it's like a mix between the N5 and N6. Your mileage may vary, of course, especially because of different equipment and defects, but also because of your photography style.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sfrique:
I know what you mean about switching ROM, it has been a while that i wanted to change ROM. I've always used custom ROMs but Sony make it "harder"

Is NFC only for me broken with newest official CM12.1 nightlies?​

Turns out, it is just the type of tags I bought that kill the NFC.

I can send and receive with Android beam, and detect the NFC stickers I have.

Now I have 5 new tags and when I hold one of them to my Z3C, NFC turns off. Android Beam and the other stickers aren't working anymore. If I turn the screen off/an, it is working again. Or when I say share -> Android Beam, it is also reactivated.

The new tags are working fine with an Xperia SP (CM12.1 huashan)

Is it possible the Z3C is just not compatible with them? I though it's a norm.

OMG!

You know, I posted this in the CM Dev Forums and no one knew what I was talking about. I gave this a try (turned off my alarms) and my phone finally reboots. RIDICULOUS! If this is a long-standing bug, can we get this fixed? Will the be the case with any alarm/clock app that I use, or just the built in one (which does what I need without any fuss)?

Aside from that, are there any camera apps that are any good at all for this phone? I realize that we lost a ton of functionality by getting rid of the TA DRM, etc., but I would think we should be able to get better than the weak default camera.

Also, is there any update on getting CM 12.1 to work with TWRP in a reliable manner? Being able to Nandroid would be great.

Thank you to all you devs who keep this great ROM updated!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
The camera will only get ****tier with other apps. We're using some very strange workarounds (and honestly it's a miracle they work) to get camera working on the 3.4 kernel.

I think you'd be better off contacting the maintainers about the bug personally, or on the IRC. The CM forums aren't really much of a thing. Or open a bug report on that bug report site CM uses. (If you want I can mention it to Chirayu when I hear from him again and ask about it.)

As for TWRP, I know I'm the official maintainer, and yes, I am sorry, but I currently do not have the time to test it all. I'll take a look in the coming weeks but I can't promise anything because I don't have anything to build TWRP with. Again, I'll try, but no guarantees.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] qubbey:

Camera working (no 4k mode and its distortion)

Device isn't hot

Battery ok

Radio signals still don't work :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] m0d:
If you checked review there has not been any changes regarding radio, but you would have noticed that they are now using old camera stack:	Use rhine 4.3 camera stack

Which might be why it is not working as expected with the HW available

I would like to know if this is just temporary, as using the old stack for a new z3c might as well have bought the older phone.

A little disappointed that with Sony's open source development and all - the devs are forced to revert to old instead of using current hw to maximum capability.

I am not sure how this plays with news of Sony selling off mobile. If customers were able to use their phones they bought (Sony is not the cheapest) with full capabilities, Sony might not have this problem.

Back to reality,

You might want to check the AOSP, though, as they provided new binaries. So it might be a little more ahead than CM12
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
They are able to do so. My Z3C has been working perfectly since the day I got it.

However, you forget that this is not official software -- it is aftermarket customization. No OEM guarantees you that your phone will function properly after unlocking the bootloader and/or modifying the software. Sony is also the only OEM that provides an AOSP base for the community developers to work on -- it just so happens that Xperias don't sell as much as other phones (comparing flagship owners -- some of this is also to blame on Sony's poopy "2 flagships per year" tactic"), so the community and developer base behind companies like Sammy and HTC is much bigger per phone. Less devs = less development.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] m0d:
Sony advertise AOSP, and they have their own devs working on it.

So it is a shame that with dev community and sony devs that they are yet to have working AOSP build.

It seems that the company is holding back the code or whatever from the open source development.

http://developer.sonymobile.com/2014/11/06/android-5-0-xperia-z3-running-aosp/

http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...-aosp-source-code-and-binaries-now-available/

To me it does not make sense how sony do not provide working open build, when that is their companies slogan.

Is it just a facade?

I am just trying to understand how or why is this the case.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] g0ldenchild562:
It could be some marketing gimmick to get Sony phones to sell to the XDA community or they just holding off until 5.0 to be officially released. What ever the reason if we don't get a working build after the released of 5.0 I think I'm done with Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Gairtial:
When it was released, Lollipop hadn't been ported. They have to port it before they can release it. From the look of things, Sony's in house development team for Android customizations is very small and they may be required to work on other things such as the overlay theme before they can move on to things that we think are important like releasing proprietary modem files which require licensing from Qualcomm and such. Also keep in mind that Lollipop is a huge change. For example the RAW output might not even be supported by the current camera firmware and they might need to wait for another vendor or department. They might be waiting on Qualcomm for the radio to be updated for Lollipop.

Sony is a $130 billion company. They don't care about selling a few phones to a tiny forum like this. They care about selling hundreds of thousands, preferably millions of phones to the average consumer.

You guys need to give them a break. You make it sound like it's super easy to do and wildly lucrative or something. If it was easy they'd be done by now. If it was going to make them money it would be done by now. It's neither of those things. Be patient.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
How the hell is that 9 months? Even I got a few changes to be committed in August/September, that's 4 at most!

Check out CyanogenMod's github -- the repos you should look out for (for z3c specific changes) are android_kernel_sony_msm8974, android_device_sony_z3c, android_device_sony_msm8974-common, android_device_sony-common and android_device_sony_shinano-common. Not a lot has been happening with these, but exaggerating to 9 months is an outright insult to anyone who has worked on it. If you want more general update information, check out CM's gerrit.
