Thanks so much! It's funny you mentioned the thread [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] created. I used the the AICP port [MENTION=4001055]alia5[/MENTION] made and just flashed the togari2gpe mod and it worked so that's what i'm using now :) I see that the team for AICP have started development for Lollipop and have put out some nightly builds for other devices. I wanted to try to learn how to port the Lollipop to my GPE. I saw this guide http://anythingsyouneed.blogspot.com/2014/06/how-to-port-custom-rom-rom-porting.html and downloaded the CM12 rom for the GPE to use as my base and the nexus 5 AICP rom to use as the port but when I extracted both roms the system apps, framework, etc were in the form of .dat file. I searched to see how to extract the .dat files and I came up with nothing. So I guess in order to port the AICP(Lollipop) rom I would need to build it from source.....right? Also I would need to make some changes to the device tree to work with AICP?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm glad that that tool worked, I wrote that before I had access to a GPe.

Building for source is the best bet. Do they have a togari tree for lollipop? if they do build that and see if you can get it built without any errors then get the device/sony/togari and device/sony/togari_gpe from cm11 or 12 and compare to the aicp folder and work from there. If you want a hand with anything shoot me a pm or hangouts request
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
Glad that it worked!

Into lollipop i will look sooner or later, just a matter of time ;) (pretty busy atm)

I don't have access to a gpe, but i can take a look wheni'll look at lollipop

So I have a Moto X and an HTC One M8. On my M8 I have the Lollipop ROM by DigitalHigh.

On my playlist that I have downloaded, when I switch a track it takes about 1-2 seconds to load each track. But on my M8, it's almost instant. I thought it was because of 5.0.1 but it still worked perfectly on 5.0.

Anyone else have and notice this issue?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGatti:
Hello,

I am Daniel, from Argentina, and I am doubting on buying a LG G2 or a Z3 Compact.

I know they are quite diferent (z3 is from 2014 and G2 is from 2013), but Snapdragon 800 or 801 does not make difference to me.

My first choice is Z3 compact for its battery, but is that good? Because someone talks about 5 hours screen, other of 8 hours, so, is good or G2's battery is better?

Is there any con of Z3C? I have read about glass cracking by itself, i should worry about that? Is there other con?

Prices here are, LG G2 is 500uss and z3 700uss. Which one i pick??

Thanks and sorry for my english

Daniel
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pricey2009:
I'd wait for the z4, it will be announced in January..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGatti:
Pricey first of all first of answering

The problem of waiting is that i am from Argentina, and here we are like Cuba or Venezuela and our president block imports. So smartphones come late, and as you see expensive.

If i wait for z4 compact, here is reaching on march luckily and very expensive. Also i heard that z4 compact will have 1080p so i think that is going to reduce battery endurance that is what matters me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzab a:
Just suck it up and go for z3c u wont regret it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Do you have any knowledge, experience or opinion of LG and Sony's respective versions of Android, as that might be a factor for you too.

I have both phones and although the G2 is still a fine phone with regard to hardware, I personally disliked LG's software. The good news is if you are not afraid to root there is a strong community here on XDA and Lollipop is already available through CM 12 and other custom roms. LG's own official version of 5.0 should reach the G2 early next year, so you will get the sanctioned update soon.

The Z3c wins out over the G2 for me through it's better form factor and also support for external storage. I love both the back buttons and the resultant ultra thin bezels on the G2 but the Z3c is pretty much the perfect size for my tastes. I do have Google Music locker but prefer to have most of my music and other media stored locally, which I can do on my 128GB sd card. I am not sure if storage capacity is important to you - if it is you should definitely look at the Z3c, or maybe a cheaper phone with a SD card slot.

I believe the battery life is slightly better on the Z3c vs the G2, but that's just with my usage patterns, YMMV. Both have strong battery life in general and most reviews I've read have seen them both compare well to rivals like the M8 or SGS5.

I don't doubt those people who have suffered spontaneous glass cracking but I do believe it to be a tiny minority versus those who like me have had no issues to date.

The key imo for your decision is the price differential. I think that assuming the $200 difference between the phones is without any special discount to either, the G2 is better value for money. In isolation I definitely would take the Z3c over the G2, but if you can get the G2 for that much cheaper I would go with that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp3:
These are my two favorite android phones. The LG G2 has a triple threat for themes: If you like LG's heavy theme, that's the stock theme. If you want something more minimalistic but not stock, there are roms based on the LG G3 revisions. If you like AOSP, it's similarity with the Nexus 5 means it will usually have things ported quickly. If a US version only had microSD, it would be the perfect phone. LG, having the Nexus phone assignment for two years, grew big in their android phone sales and support.

In the $175-250 USD Range (ebay selling prices of US LG G2s), there is no better value for the money as the snapdragon 800 is very similiar to the 801 and the screen/body ratio is great (and it's not 5.5").

The Z3 is the android phone we've been waiting for, putting best in class performance in a small-phone package. My biggest issues with the phone are the glass back (solved with a 1.29 case) and the screen/weight ratio. Sony's anti-root policy is such that unlocking the boot-loader disables camera algos, ps4 and screen mirroring capability.

Battery life on both phones is very good, as both phones have large batteries. The camera's on both phones are very good. The screens are very good on both phones. The sound is better on the sony.

On an economic level, it's hard to recommend paying anywhere near retail for an android phone so close to the CES/MWC 2015 as Snapdragon 810s may do to our phones what the Snapdragon 800/801 did to the Snapdragon 600 (remember the last time a phone even used a SD 600).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGatti:
Thanks rp3, do you think Sony is launching a z4 compact on CES/MWC 2015? Or will be only z4 with no compact version as z2?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaia:
You may be surprised, but G2 wins

Hi DanielGatti, since your criteria is the battery life, Z3 Compact has slightly better battery life than G2. But that's it actually. I'm using Nexus 5 (over a year now), G2 (July 2014) and Xperia Z3C (end of Oct 2014) at the moment and all I can say the only thing I like with Xperia Z3C is that it's fit in the hand. So it's very comfortable to hold. Actually no, because the glass back is very slippery in the hand. But G2's bigger screen is much more compelling.

The thing is, G2's still stuck with KitKat 4.2, so some apps may crash regularly (one of them is mobileVoIP I often use). But if you ask me what is my favourite: Nexus 5 is still the king (shame that LG doesn't put the same battery capacity in it that it built in G2!).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp3:
I have read rumors of a Z4C. They are just that. I'd say 50/50 that sony launches one and 75/25 that someone else launches a high-end sub 5" phone. My reason is this: the iphone 6 and 6+ launch means every android maker needs to compete on the high end with 4, 4.7 and 5.5 standard bearer (and beat them on either performance, weight or screen/body). The HTC rumors of a 5' flagship (and the samsung Galaxy Alpha starting a new design language) make it more likely that sub 5" phones will have better than a snapdragon 410 next year.

Is G2 display better than Z3C display???? {obviusly not having on count the size, i am talking about nits and other technical stuff}
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp3:
According to their GSM Arena reviews, the Z3 Compact is 10% brighter at full brightnes but 30% less contrast. The Z3C also has 30% better sunlight visability contrast. Having those two phones in hand now (just bought a LG G2 and listing Z3c on swappa), I wouldn't disagree with the indoors ratings (I am rarely outside during sunlight looking at my phone screen).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaia:
I'm not competent enough to talk about nits and other technical stuff. But for me as user it's enough to put the device side by side and see which one looks better. G2's screen is better because it looks gorgeous with its bigger size, while everything looks tiny on Z3C's screen. Z3C display also looks too dark and cold. You have to play with the settings in order to find the best for you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liteon163:
I had an LG G2 on Verizon in the US and switched to a Z3 Compact on T-Mobile. Comparing the two for you, I'd go with the LG G2 because it's less expensive and performs basically identically. If you want a smaller phone, go for the Z3 Compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2kfire:
size matters... a lot!

I think first and foremost you need to decide what size you prefer.

The G2 is fantastic. I liked it better than the Galaxy S4/S5 and Nexus 5. But it was too big for me, along with the others I mentioned. My Z3c is perfect!

Once you decide on size, then you pick one or the other, whichever is closer, OR, compare similar size phones and make your decision even harder! :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutley:
I also wanted to decide so I bought both.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGatti:
Well, since difference in money was more or less U$S275 i went with LG G2, because as they said, differences were not very important.

Also SnapDragon 810 is about to come and may be it will a huge change, so i'll want a z4 compact, and has no sense buy a z3 compact now, it was a waste of money.

Thanks to everyone
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
You're basing your "what's better" on looks. So, in that sense, Beats by Dre are better than a pair of ATH-ADG1s?

Sure, it might look bigger and it's easier to see, but that's nowhere near being better. There's still how the colors look, how much power it drains, contrast, sunlight visibility etc. If the OP was making his comparison purely based on screen size, he would either be considering getting the Z3 would had been on his way to the store to get a G2 instead of opening the thread.

[MENTION=5254853]DanielGatti[/MENTION]: The 810 doesn't bring anything big in terms of performance, except maybe the new GPU (now with a flashy new number). But the difference won't be visible going from a Z3C to a Z4C if rumors are to be believed though because of the increased resolution (1080 vs 720).

The G2 should be getting OEM updates for at least one more year as it basically uses the same chipset as some other 2014 devices. After that, it'll have a long life here on the Forums. At this point, quite the opposite could be said about the Z3C (though that may change anytime).

I came from g2 to z3c and i love the compact. G2 is not a bad phone but at least it was to big for me
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex2x3:
As someone who came from the G2 and now has the Z3c I feel like I can be some help.

First of all i will start by saying I love the Z3c, its a great phone, really attractive, and the battery is great.

But the G2 was and is still the best phone I've ever had.

It was perfect in my opinion in ever front, its powerful, has a huge battery, is extremely comfortable in hand, has a great screen, and the ROM community is huge and there are a lot of amazing roms available. (It is basically an better Nexus 5) Something the Z3 is unfortunately completely missing. Plus I LOVED the back button placement, felt very natural, and with the tap to wake you don't have to use them if you don't like. After having the z3c for a few months I think that the G2's size / screen ratio is perfect for me. (The only reason I did't get the G3 was because it's so big).

If you can get the G2 for a good price I can't see any reason why you shouldn't go with it. I

It's a great phone. I wish I didn't lose it abroad or I would definitely would still be using it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddie01:
Maybe more manufacturers will come out with a truly full featured 4.5-4.7" screen like the Z3C. More and more reports support that this is the most preferred size for a phone unless you really need the larger screen which most of us have a tablet for anyway.... Maybe LG will have a compact version soon that does not sacrifice any features compared to the larger version. I am sold on Sony for now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
I've had my eyes on Sony since 2012. After that, the only other phone that really caught my eye was the Z1C, which I would've gotten had it not been for the Z3C's larger display.

Can I have a link to one of the reports you're mentioning? Would love to read on people who agree with me :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
G2 is a nice phone. Z3c is a nice phone. :)

I doubt many people will really notice the difference between a Snapdragon 801 and 810 on a 4.7" phone unless maybe they're a heavy gamer. There might be a noticeable difference in performance and battery life for a larger phone with 4K display, but how many phones the 810 even makes it into in the next few months is up for debate anyway. I bet a lot of early 2015 phones will use an 805, including perhaps the Z4c (if indeed Sony actually releases one, which is not certain)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaboneros:
I might be going for LG G2 rather than the Xperia Z3C, mainly because of the reliability of after-sales/warranty support from resellers. From the grey market, the Z3C sells for USD 354, while on authorised Sony shops it's double that value. Just wondering if LG also got traps set if I install a custom ROM over its stock, like what I hear from Sony, once you unlock the bootloader, you pay for the consequences.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
First of all, congratulations on becoming a necroposter!

Second, yes, I absolutely agree. When looking around for advice on a 600+€ device, you should always find one single blogger from New Zealand, and ignore all other income of information.

Now on a serious note:

The blogger himself says that he is able to revert everything to stock. People claiming that their phone was rejected for warranty even if they had it restored to stock are liars -- do everything right (that includes restoring the DRM keys and locking your bootloader), and you'll have no problem.

Everyone is making such a huge scene about these damn DRM keys when getting around this issue is so very easy -- not to mention that in a lot of cases you don't even need the DRM keys restored on your device for it to be accepted under warranty. And furthermore, if your country has sane people working for it, you'll see a law going similarly to the EU one regarding rooting and modding:

Which basically means that as long as you're not the one that caused the issue, you should get the device accepted (though just in case, you should flash a stock FTF and relock the bootloader).

Now on a slightly less serious, but still somewhat serious note:

If you want a device that you can modify to your heart's content, get a Nexus. The N4 is still very appealing, and you can get a working one at less than $200. The N5 is basically a G2, but, imo, better. The dev community around it is still very much alive, and it has the M Developer Preview available, if that tickles your fancy. Or go for the Amazon Fire phone or anything on any US carrier if you want your device to be locked down, such as the Galaxy Nexus, or Motorolas on Verizon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddie01:
I had a Sony ZL that I flashed and then restored to factory settings as I had a bad SIM slot. They replaced the entire unit with a brand new one; Box,accessories and ALL. Sony has a terrific support and warranty program. Why would you ask so many, see the obvious results...then do the opposite of what we all recommend??? What is the point of asking ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaboneros:
I had to look up what necroposter actually means, silly me! I think i'm now more inclined to get the Z3C instead of the G2 simply because the former has a barometer sensor (joke). and the fact that Sony has promised to roll out Android 5.1 on it.

I was very interested with N5 before, until I came across so many complaints on its battery performance, compared to G2 and Z3C.

[update] still haven't decided :( why did Sony have to remove the DRM functions which compromises camera quality when bootloader is unlocked. and the fact that on LG G2, even on custom ROMs, the OIS still works because it's in the hardware.

I have tried installing multiple different custom rom's and I have also had the stock JB rom.

I don't know why, I really don't, but Custom rom's that are 4.3 or above mess around with my t989.

The calling never works, so say I just turned on my phone, it's just booted, I can make a few calls and everything is fine, the minute I hang up, and wana call another person within the next 3-5 Minutes, it's gone. It doesn't work anymore.

I don't get why the calling does not work on any KITKAT ROM.

It doesn't work on CM 10.1.3, 10.2, 11, Liquid smooth and now hellkat... it's a shame.

After a while, when you try to make a call or when you receive one, You can't hear the other side and the other side cannot hear you either.

I have had this problem with custom roms, specially 4.3 and above. Hellkat seems to be worse than CM11 calling wise, even though as I see, they have the same dialer and hellkat uses most of CM builds but still.. this sucks. I feel like it's either a software/rom problem or something disabled maybe, i'm not sure. I know, I have great connection (T-mobile) Data working, full signal and everything seems to be fine. However, I don't know what to do to even try to solve/fix it. I hope someone here know's though or someone here can help.

FYI; This doesn't happen on the stock rom (JB 4.1.2) At all. It never happens on stock, just on custom rom's and the only custom rom it doesn't do this on and works fine is ( CM 9.1)

Any solutions anyone knows of?

Thank you.
