there are ton of bluetooth commits for next build (26th) - everyone with bt issues, hands on! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
Nightly 25 here. Most stuff works well, except the things already mentioned in this thread. One Problem I have and which I didn't see in this thread: The sensor to disable the screen when phoning doens't work, so I regularily click elements with my ear. Does anybody else have this problem?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
Does today's nightly fix any of the problems previously reported?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
Hi all,

A bit off topic ; does anyone know around when official lollipop is going to be released .. ?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
I used it as daily driver for some days now. It feels so good. I really like Android 5. Camera doesn't work. battery life is about half as long as stock ROM (I got 2 days with stock sony ROM and only one day with this ROM). But I look forward to this great ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
Well I'm still on nightly 2015-01-19, and camera works. If they broke camera and didn't fix it, I'm not switching over. If you want a daily, stick to 01-19 for now. Also worth noting: themes break the System UI. Change theme -> "System UI has stopped" message in a loop, so don't do it. Ye have been warned!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Clem74:
I have the sensor problem too, I have to lock the screen when I launch a call. But when you know it that's not a big issue.

Video recording still doesn't work for me (app crash when starting record). I had a problem with photo saving but it seems to be resolved.

Question about notification bar : How does it works exactly? Sometimes when I pull to the middle of the screen I have only the notifications, but other times I have notifications + shortcuts.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
Sorry, I meant video recording and video playback doesn't work. Camera works for takeing photos.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
If you pull from the right edge it will open the quick settings. It is enabled by default.

You can disable this by going into Settings -> Notification drawer -> Quick pulldown

Enable means pulling from right edge will open quick settings right away. Disable means you will always have to manually swipe for quick settings.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
Good idea with locking the phone during the call. Until now I just held it at an awkward angle ;)

At Nightly 26 now, still the same problems with video and sensor, and Notification LED Coloring still seems broken (but I didn't really test it).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
OK, well on -19 I can do video recording with no trouble at all, so as a daily driver it is more feature complete.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] amnher:
You sure [MENTION=2173385]goeland86[/MENTION] you can do video recording??
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
Positive. I've 2 videos of about 1 min each recorded this weekend. Won't post them here, but yes, it works.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
I'm too at Nightly 26. Can confirm your results. Notification LED Coloring still is broken.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
I think this is one of the very last problems which will be fixed :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:

regarding proximity sensor issue during a call, i don't have that problem. currently at 26th, but the same was with all recent builds.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
My sensor also works perfectly fine during a call.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
Interesting. Do you have any ideas where I could start looking for the error with the sensor? Any helpful infos I should deliver?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Horst the Animal:
which nightly

so which nightly now works better the nightly from 2015-19-01 or 2015-26-01 ??
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] RPetec:
just installed 2015-26-01 and it appears to have fixed the bluetooth audio playback issues. So far (only running it for an hour or so but have tested all the major functions) the only thing not working in it is video capture and playback.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
I also have a problem with the proximity sensor. As mentioned before, you can just press the power button, but some other apps use the proximity sensor as well, like gravity screen. On my first Android phone, it was necessary to recalibrate the proximity sensor after a clean install. Maybe this is what some of us are experiencing?

Great news about the BT fixes, hopefully my smartband will benefit from that as well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
I just used the proximity test tool (com.tigermonster.proxfinder on playstore, I can't yet post links), and the sensor seems to actually work. So there seems to be a software problem.

The tool gives a distance in cm as output, but in my case the values are just a bit over 5 or 0, so no values in between. According to the tool this is normal and shouldn't be a problem. Can anyone of you with a working sensor report if they have the same behaviour?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] labbe-:
I jumped back to stock KitKat and can confirm that the proximity is either 0 or 5 cm

I need one phone of mine to work... CM12 is a mess still on any device so might as well wait for Sony official Lollipop

Sent from my D5503
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
Same behaviour, proximity working. 5cm
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Corias:
Be aware, 20150126-nightly finally got recovery auto-updating from cmupdater properly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
it was the same on my old LG phone; proximity gave like boolean values (zero or xx cm), so no worries.

however it works for some of us. did any of you with the problem tried to do a full wipe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Robilony¨:
Does anyone here have working video recording, or working youtube? I'm having lots of problems with cm12, I've been trying to revert back to original android but can't find it from anywhere :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
Yes, if you use the daily from 01-19 with data wipe video and YouTube work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
I did start with Daily 23 I think, and before this installation I did a full wipe. Since I'm currently using the phone as my main phone I don't want to wipe again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mflow:
youtube works for me as long as it is under 720P, but video recording is not working, gives "cannot connect to camera" error. i'm on the 27-01 build

looks like the workaround is for still pictures only.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
I can say that from upgrading from cm11 nightly to cm12 nightly from 01-19 I can do video recording. I don't know if that's specific to my device or not.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mflow:
i clean flashed nightly 01-27, and video recording isn't working (using Google Camera), haven't tried other camera app tho.

video playing using MX Player does well, 1080 doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
what about your proximity sensor after a clean install?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
It worked after a clean install, but doesn't anymore. I think it's more of a bug in the phone app than it is in the ROM itself.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
My proximity Sensor is working fine with every Version of this Rom

Gesendet von meinem Z1 Compact mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
I think I found why it stopped working for me - it's due to skype. If I reboot and don't launch skype, it works. If I try to make a skype call, it stops working, as if the process isn't releasing the sensor for other apps to use. But that's odd.

Change grid size in appdrawer

Hi,

since nightly 20150125 the grid size changed from 4x6 to 5x7.

How can I change the grid to the old value?

Thanks in advance

HiHiMan
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
Grid size can be changed in the launcher options.

Long press anywhere on the screen. Click on the three dots over Widgets and Settings. Change grid size.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] hihiman1:
Thanks,

but afaik this will only have an effect in the launcher = homescreen. I wanted to change the grid of the appdrawer!

HiHiMan
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
Oh I see....

Don't think this is possible yet. Maybe with Xposed?

I actually enjoy the new layout so I won't change it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] hihiman1:
Xposed is currently not available for Lollipop - maybe never... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52288979&postcount=3

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Clem74:
You can set larger icons (it changes the grid of the appdrawer) : long touch on an empty area, press the 3 dots over "Widgets", at the end of the list set ON to Larger icons. You will have what we had before.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Excuse me for the stupid question, but where are these 3 dots over widgets everyone is talking about, because mine are missing :|
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Touch and hold anywhere on the screen (not on any icon though). You will get the settings screen with 4 icons on the bottom. Just above those icons there are 3 dots shaped as arrow - press 'em to expand the settings.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Maybe you can enlighten me?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Which build is this? Guess it's ~0120 or earlier. Try touching right above the "widgets" icon.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Mnope...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Strange. I remember the icons were differently arranged (maybe were 3, now they're 4) in the earlier builds. But still there were the dots - they are part of the Trebuchet. Something is messed in your ROM, I guess... Clean install should work it out, maybe something is messed up if you constantly update through builds.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
I have only google now launcher, no trebouchet...

any idea how to get my hands on the latest apk for trebuchet?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Trebuchet is included as default launcher in CM and is now called Launcher3.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
I started with CM12 since it was unofficial nightly, and I do not have the time to fresh reinstall it.

Is there anyway to get the apk separately because there seems to be something wrong with this updating system.

I do not have it in my apps list.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Just look for Launcher3 in All Apps, it should be there.

It should came with CM, but not running, since you installed another launcher. Either simply uninstall Google Now Launcher, or go to Settings -> Apps -> All, find Google Now Launcher, enter "App info", scroll down and tap on "clear defaults" - this should make it possible to switch to Launcher3 (trebuchet) next time you tap on Home button.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
how could even be possible you dont have Launcher3 with CM rom, its CM's launcher afterall. (you're running 28th build, right?).

are you certain you checked Settings/Apps/All, or Settings/Home?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
I simply do not have it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
I just uploaded some photos, I use latest nightly, i have been upgrading ever since unofficial cm was up by Omar, and I have always been using google launcher as it seems. Launcher3 is absolutely missing from all my apps lists. It is not disabled, it is MISSING.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
I can confirm this as well. Google Now comes from the pa gapps I'd imagine, but under no circumstances should it remove launch3... What gives?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] henhoy:
I reflashed and installed a non PAgapps and then the correct launcher was there
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
So nobody wants to extract their launcher 3 to make it easyer?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] henhoy:
I am not certain that that will work, i installed some apk's i found on the web, I got the launcher but not the setttings.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
In my opinion you have two options:

1. You don't have Launcer3 installed

Solution: Flash CM again.

2. You have it installed but doesn't show up

Solution: factory reset
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Solution 3: wait until a nice user has 2 minutes to extract it from his rom, a late version, to have all options available. A lot easyer than losing 1-2 hours to backup, flash, restore, copy back media files.

Maybe someone running latest build that has launcher3 can use apk extractor from play store.

Thanks for the support.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Corias:
Tried 0126, 0127 and 0128 nightlies - all of them still have buggy A2DP audio. It works after boot, but when you pause or stop playback for approx. 1 hour, and then resume it again - no sound streams to headset. Only reboot helps. Tried wipe data/cache/media, nothing helps.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
If you want this option, you could simply download the ZIP and extract the APK yourself.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
This is true, I have the same issues, trying to play music through my car head unit. which is a sony as well.

connection to my smartwatch has no problem, only music streaming problems.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I downloaded it, didnt yet have time to check how to extract it. any small hints please?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
Oh, sorry. My fault. I thought these ZIPs are looking the same like on CM <=11. But with Android 5 it gets more complicated.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] marsa47:
Not sure this will work, but here's the APK from latest CM:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Thank you. Working.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] hihiman1:
You will find the trebuchet.apk no longer in system/app but in system/priv-app!

I simply replaced the trebuchetapk from nightly 20150125 with the "old" one from nightly 20150123. works perfectly - now i have the 4x6 grid in the appdrawer!

Miscellaneous

Any advice guys for solving battery drain by miscellaneous ? Is it Os or Kernel defect?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Schlengge:
Install an advanced battery diagnose app from playstore to find out what is draining your battery exactly. Sometimes the phone does not enter deep sleep and is draining battery like crazy. There are many possible reasons for this which I won't list here. A restart and disable location services often solves this problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Rekoil:
Or you could fix it yourself by editing the so called "backup scripts" put in place by PA GApps when you installed the Google Stock build of PA GApps which removes the CM launcher as well as AOSP browser and stock messaging.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Xyam:
Actually you can install the "NANO" version which has the core Google framework without removing any CM stuff. I have been using the "Nano" version for a long time without any issues, and install whatever I need from Google Play directly.

one more issue that I observe is the WIFI. Sometimes it cannot connect to the wireless router, even it is connected, the phone is still not connected to the Internet. Need to turn off and on to make it work again. This happens to my wireless router at home and office.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:

No more video crash here!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
I've noticed a slight problem with WiFi as well. When you start wifi it connects to nearby configured network immediately. But if you leave (i.e. to go to work) and leave wifi turned on for the trip, then the wifi network at the office is detected but it won't connect, saying "authentication problem". Clicking on the network and selecting to connect to it again lets it connect immediately. Think it's a wifi-wakeup problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lj3lj3:
i have it too, very annoying.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
I remember this problem was there in CM11 too. I solved it by using Llama, which activates/deactivates WiFi location based. Only a workaround...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
Can confirm, nightly 0129 allows video recording and playback :D For this nightly, there was a lot of openGl stuff going on, and deprecated videoEditing packages got removed. I didn't see any commits directly related to video encoding/decoding hardware, which was my guess of the source of the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] goeland86:
Confirmed here for recording. Playback still gives error with anything else than vlc.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
Huh, youtube works for me. I just noticed that I "only" get 720p videos, but I'm not sure if this is because of another used codec or if the youtube app got clever enough to check the screen size and then limits the download resolution. I just checked, and doubletwist also allows video playback, at least partially (one video aborts after half the stream, but that's also the case with VLC, this might be a problem with the file instead of the OS).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Rekoil:
Why would you want 1080p video on a device with a 720p display? You will not get a better quality video, just waste more bandwidth.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] charnocc:
No complaint, just an observation ;) That's why I put the "only" in between quotation marks. I think with earlier versions of youtube I was able to use the 1080p streams.

Besides, for the video crash debugging / observation 1080p video sources would be interesting to test.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Rekoil:
Anyone know how to get CM recovery if I've installed TWRP on the recovery partition? There doesn't seem to be an option to update recovery in settings anymore
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
yes, the option isn't there anymore. cm recovery just appeared on my phone with one of the first few official nightlies - but i was using cmupdater then, so perhaps the updater script flashes the recovery too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
I noticed some strange mobile network problems when signal is only 2G (edge for example). It shows good signal strength, but Internet is almost never working. Anyone else with that problem?

2. Is there now the possibility to save photos and recorded videos on SD Card?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
With 01-29 build I have video playback and recording but no notifications sounds, no ringer sound. On a call the other person didn't hear me. And the the speaker in hands-free mode didn't work. Many sound problems...

Rearrange of navigation bar is back in 0130 - GREAT!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Clem74:
I didn't see anything about the possibility to save on the SD card in the options, but maybe it exists. However, about the CM recovery it's now tricky to launch it with Power+Low volume button because you must have the good timing. Press the button just 0.5 second after the pink led switches on.
