Problems Installing CM 12 on Z3c

Hello

first id like 2 say sry for my bad english, i hope that anyone understand my problem

Yesterday i tried to bring Cyanogenmod 12 to my Xperia Z3 Compact. I used the new root method with downgrade my Firmware, root access granted, SuperSU was installed. Dual Recovery installing was my first problem, i had to flash 5 times before it was installed correctly. So far, all right. After this I updated the firmware with pre rootet, no problem. Newest Firmware installed, root ok, recovery ok

Now my biggest problem:

Ive downloaded latest CM12 Nightly for Z3c, put it to SD Card, rebootet to recovery and tried to flash it

Fail: This Package is for D5803/ D5833/ Z3c Devices, yours is amami

What the hell?? my Phone isnt amami, its Z3 compact, not Z1 Compact o.O

I tried also CM12 for amami, but it fails too

Im sitting here for 24 fu**** hours and nothing works like it should?! Every post i see, people say: I had flasht it to my Z3c all right

Im really at the end of my knowledge, i dont have a plan what i do wrong, does anybody have the same problems? or does anybody knows what im doing wrong?

Thanks for answers, and greets to everybody ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] someone755:
Why though? After the initial two nightlies, root access works just fine if enabled from developer options.

That said, I still am interested in why you would do that. Is there some feature(s) the integrated superuser app cannot handle/provide?

Answer.

Has to be stock, bruh. Some sources also claim that restoring the keys relocks your bootloader, effectively bricking your phone until you flash a stock Sony-signed one.

(btw you don't have to begin your post with "Question," "Statement," or anything like that. We'll see what your post is about when we read it :P

Don't want to be nosey, but is there a specific reason the site was down? E.g. was the server broken, did you not manage to pay for the hosting, etc.?

Anything we as a community can do to help? If it's funds that you'd require to make the job of the team easier, I'm sure a lot of people could pull through :)

See none of that would've happened if you simply read a page or two back. :T

Delete the first line of the updater-script, that's your solution.

This is the first time this has happened. http://i.imgur.com/EYlwUqO.jpg I was using a Samsung charger and battery. I was using a third party cable but changing it to an official sprint micro USB cable didn't help, even after reboot. I finally removed the battery, put in a fully charged one, swapped cables with external charger and the one with the phone, used a HTC charger for the external charger, and the phone didn't complain. Wtf?! Is a battery dying or use the latest official ROM f ing up? I've never seen this on any of my previous Samsung phones ever!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewksparks:
Try cleaning the charging port/messing with the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
I agree, if that doesn't work take it to your nearest sprint service center with your cable. They'll take care of you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] loumoli:
Stop using the 3.0 cable. Known issue. Thats why they swiched the charging porton the note 4

thanks to SONY that made all this possible !
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] finran:
Nice to read that there are Developers for this device.

just a few questions... i've read that sony opens kernels, blobs etc for the recent phones - i never found those for the z3tc ? did i miss that? or could the sources of the different devices could be use to achive the cm12 port?

and the other important question... are there any bugs in this build? what works? what does not work?

is there a twrp build for the z3tc?

:)

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] jerpelea:
we have enabled daily builds

if your device is not yet in the list will appear soon (1 day,1 week, 1 month) no ETA please

but you have to remember that is an early alpha build
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] finran:
Doesnt seem an answer for any questions I made.... didnt ask for an ETA either...

well... fine O.o

Thank you for your efforts. Just bought the 32GB wifi tablet and not sure if I want start experiments with custom ROMs etc right out of the box, but would you kindly specify what does work and what doesn't in your build?

Cheers

I think that account is automated, for now at least.

This thread and the OP's posts are exactly the same as in the Xperia Z1 forum. :)

Hopefully once a first build is up and running, we will see some more attention from OP for questions.

we have 1 kernel for all the Zx family (not the original Z) and repo are up for every device in that families

we are working on a huge device list and thing have improved alot in last days, we have currently some hw failure which prevent us to work on a release

just take patience :)

did someone already try the rom ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] D_JWhite:
I can't actually find the rom.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ky3bmu4:
I thought there was ROM in OP first, but then I realised that was just some kind of announcement.

And so we wait
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] D_JWhite:
Yeah, I had a look on their website but with the build server failure I'm not sure when we'll see a build, automated or not. I've asked Krabappel if he's got anywhere with his CM12 build but I think we'll face the same problems as the other members of the Z3 family; namely that until Sony release something official there will be blobs we're missing.

Sorry, but what is the Z3 Tablet Compact codename: Pegasus or Scorpion? In two different places on FXP site those two names are mentioned.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ejdan:
Scorpion Windy for the Wifi version

Scorpion for the LTE version

This is according to the kernel sources by Sony which they have published on Github.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Calamityx1:
Is it not available yet? I can't find scorpion anywhere.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ejdan:
There is no FXP build but the unofficial CM12 build by Qzerno is working great:

I'm talking about AOSP, not Cyanogenmod. Sorry for not specifying. The post you are telling me to read was my own :P. There are links for AOSP on the FreeXperia site but there is no build for windy.

Hi,

where can I track the progress of the AOSP-ROM? Because you told on your blog that the camera isn't working and I want to be informed when this gets fixed.

Hello.

I don't know if my question will be considered offtopic or not, but this is the only topic with people running Android 5.0 on their tablets.

Now I'm thinking about buying this one, but what bugs me is the 16GB of internal storage (coming from a 32GB Nexus 10). The 32GB is not available in my country. With Android 5.0 using ART and all, has any of you faced storage problems?

And another thing: is there a complete list of bugs for the nightlies?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Khaiyan:
I have the same question regarding AOSP for Z3C Wi-FI. I can only see 'scorpion' not 'scorpion windy'.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Spleeno:
fxp blog

well, atleast there are cm12 nightly builds for scorpion_windy
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ccgx:
I'm pretty sure someone already ask this, but did anyone try this already and can say how stable it is? I'm thinking about trying it out, but some info regarding stability would be nice to have beforehand (:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Uludag:
I'm using the 16GB LTE Version with CyanogenMod and TomTom Navigation Europe Maps. However I still have 5GB of space left. But what I don't get about your question, in contrast to the Nexus, the Z3 has a microSDHX slot, so if you need space just get a 32-128GB memory card.

I'm using the CyanogenMod 12 nightlies since a week without any bugs or stability problems so far. Only some translations are missing.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Khaiyan:
Hey, does it have tap to wake/tap to sleep wake function?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Uludag:
Yes.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] _Raziel666:
Yes I know that you can buy an extra SD card, but what about the performance of the apps that are moved to the card?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ccgx:
I flashed the nightly on friday (think it was the 20150205 one) and was able to test it a bit over the Weekend. Didnt find any Problems, everything is smooth and stable. Only thing missing were some translations (as mentioned earlier) und I didnt find the "do not disturb" stuff in the notification/quick Settings overlay. Did I miss something or are they really not there yet?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] abomadany:
Does the camera work ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ccgx:
Just checked, both cameras are working, at least on my quick test.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] nupi:
So is there an AOSP build for the WiFi tablet or not? Now the xposed is starting to become available for Lollipop I would rather just go AOSP+a few choice modules than full blown CM12 (I have it on my Nexus 7, the nightlies are decent enough by now but I'd prefer AOSP once I can get xprivacy)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Untouchab1e:
Hi all.

I am working on fixing and improving the audio HAL for shinano devices (z3, z3c, z3 tablet compact and z2 tablet). I have fixed various issues on the non-tablet devices but the tablets are slightly different so I'm not comfortable simply assuming that my code will port over directly. So if anyone with a z3 tablet would be willing to test my audio fix (its as easy as pushing over an .xml file and rebooting) that would be awesome. If you're willing and able, just PM me and Ill send you the file and instructions.

For those interested you can check out the topic with the changes here.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] :
camera focus doesn't work

Awesome overall, but my camera can't focus on anything on my 611. I have latest nightly installed(19.02) and I've tried quite a few camera apps. Is anything up?

Thanks a lot, guys, it's awesome to have CM on such a good tablet!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] chaostimmy:
I'm running CM12 20150221 on my Z3C LTE and love it! No problems! The only thing I found to be missing is USB host functionality for USB controller and sticks ... Any chances for fixing that?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I'm running CM12 nightlies without major issues on my Sony tablet. But picture quality is very poor with CM stock camera - massive noise and probably low resolution.

Sadly I can't use the Google camera app. Play store says it's not compatible. Any idea why? Any other app you can recommend me to use with our tablet?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
Does anyone know if there is a recovery that supports the automatic CM12 nightly updates? TWRP isn't working for me. I get an error and I need to manually flash. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
Works for me with the internal one. Noch need to flash a 3rd party recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
I'm using TWRP and I can't get the automatic CM12 updates to work. If you have it working, please share the recovery you are using. I already flashed the boot.img from the nightlies which was supposed to fix it.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Auto updates work with boot.IMG from the nightly zip. Try reflashing.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lvnatic:
Can you guys tell me if the nightlies work well? Can they be used as daily drivers?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] nupi:
Did anyone manage to install Xposed on CM12? If so, which recovery did you use?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
I just reflashed the boot.img and I'm still having the issue. I flashed the boot.img from the 3/13 nightly with fastboot, the flash was successful, but when I go to update the ROM, recovery opens but throws up an error (it flashes up too quickly to read) and returns to the TWRP main menu.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Pretty sure that if you have flashed the cm boot then you should have cm recovery instead of twrp. Make sure you are not preventing cm from updating recovery and retry after a manual update.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
I'm using TWRP. I flashed the boot.img from the CM nightly. My recovery is still TWRP after the flash. Please provide the correct recovery file for me to flash, as the CM boot.img is not doing anything (and yes, it is successfully flashing.)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ccgx:
They work well, I use them as daily driver.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
I use the nightlies as well. They are pretty great for what they are.

Quick question: How’s the battery life compared to the stock rom? The official 5.0 updates is supposed to get released in a few weeks, but I don’t want to wait months for the next updates.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
I can't provide numbers, but it isn't as good. I'd say on average I get about 50%-75% the amount of use out of the device than I did with the stock rom.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] abomadany:
I didn't get what u r saying. ..is the battery better than the stock rom by 50 to 75 % or its worth thant the stock rom by 50 to 75 % ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
...about 25-50% worse than stock.

I'm assuming more battery optimizations are coming, it's just a matter of time.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Cyberratchet:
Thanks for your reply BPinard, your estimation seems to be quite accurate. I flashed CM12 on my Z3 tablet and I prefer it to the stock lollipop (not being able to right to the SD card is a no-go tbh.). But like you said, battery could be a little better but hopefully that will change in the future.

I’ve heard that there are problems with running Xposed on CM12. Did anyone got that to run? I use Greenify on my phone to optimize battery life, I would like to do that on the tablet as well (and tab 2 wake would be nice as well ^^).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lvnatic:
What happens if I just go into twrp and flash nightly + gapps? Will the ROM work?

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

I'm on stock rooted ROM atm.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] BPinard:
Greenify works, but in order to get root you will need to flash the zip file from here in recovery.

I tried running the Xposed installer about a week ago but it appears that our device isn't supported yet (either that or I was doing something wrong). I wouldn't bother messing around with it too much yet as the installer is still in alpha and lots of things are still likely broken. Honestly I would just wait until things become more stable.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Cyberratchet:
I already have SuperSU and Greenify running, but there are a few Xposed-only features in Greenify. Tasker and Secure Settings are a decent combination to save battery life until Xposed is compatible with our device.

Is there anyway I could run twrp recovery on cm12?

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Or has anyone managed to install xposed on it? Flashing the framework on cm recovery doesn't work, and if i try to manually copy all the zip files in system folder and set the right permissions, the device goes into a bootloop.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ccgx:
It worked for me on the 0329 and 0330 nightly. only problem I had was that the screen had to be turned on for the transfer to work.

did some flashing around and now it's working again. strange.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] paratox:
i would also be interested if there will be twrp builds for sgp61x and sgp62x devices.

i actually use a twrp from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57730438&postcount=1

it is a modified twrp img from Z2 from xda user [MENTION=2439878]der_bert[/MENTION] and seems to work for unlocked bootloader devices. i`m using it with cm12 and until now no problems.

but i would feel better to have a special for our devices build twrp. maybe some nice dev could bring it to us.
