First of all, you need to unlock your bootloader.( don't forget to backup DRM keys using TA backup, before unlocking bootloader)

After that,

you are good to go..

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lu99ke:
I think the point of the previous post is to infer that the fisheye issue is not so much a bug as a limitation of the code Sony has released. It's not an unexpected error ... It is a known issue that needs a change to the way sony release code as opposed to a "fix"

Great news about the camera. I wonder when they will start implementing it into CM12.1. Maybe after all the fuss about the camera bug has been fixed, the team can now focus on optimizing CM12.1 even more.

I'm running 20151010 build and

brightness work fine (corrected early this month),

I never experienced a 4 sec delay on calls with my D6603,

Sound on videos is low but usable, even more if you play it on computer.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] smala:
not sure, but "brightness work fine (corrected early this month)" does it mean "no more auto-brightness weird behavior"?

i tried non-sony roms many times and one of my stopping issues is the auto-brightness.

i simply can't stand a screen that goes ultra-bright even with close-to-zero lux... i tried Lux and Valis auto-brighness but was still very weird and unconfortable to my eyes.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
I believe a found I big issue. When switching to f2fs and formatting data partition, I lost all internal storage. I change twrp.fstab, do some test and post a new version.

Yes, that's close. CM12.1 for z3 perform not auto brightness than stock rom but is more usable than 1 moth ago.

That was a disturbing issue but now I found CM brightness ok. Some times, brightness go to mini but I think it is caused by my finger on the sensors when flipping the phone to landscape (ex: playing game). When it goes to maxi it is always caused by an app (ex: focal). Except that, in dark, in low light, in full light, it's ok.

I hope I express myself a better way :)

Since my last post I use 20141024 and found a glitch: (by advance, sorry for miss traducing):

-> notifications icons sometimes disappears, in particular when switching off function.

Here 'air plane' and root aren't displayed: config: http: //i64.tinypic.com/2dln90o.png display: http: //i64.tinypic.com/349baly.png

-> 'Reboot' in Cyanogen power menu turn device off when USB cable is unplugged.

-> Some unreproductible 'random' reboot (2 in 10 days / also with 20151010 build). Always when switching wifi off. I believe it's when switching wifi off while receiving MMS.

Is anyone else experiencing too high volume through headphones? I can't reach silent levels because of this. Stock ROM don't have this problem. It's this known?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
Often I use my D6603 with a wired creative headset and on my side there is no volume problem. But on some calls interlocutor complain about sound quality (don't know if volume if in doubt).

Otherwise when using my computer with bluetooth ad2p, volume can't be set with the phone.

So in which case are your experiencing this problem (phone call, listening music)? What is the apps causing the dysfunction? Is your headphones wired or bluetooth?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Terepin:
Listening to music, wired earphones. Every multimedia app, so the issue is in system. The volume is cca 50% higher than in stock ROM.

Well, this is exactly what happens to me. I installed recovery in FOTA partition, following THIS THREAD.

Manually booting in recovery works perfectly, but not the reboot in recovery and not the reboot in general.

This issue becomes annoying in case of OTA nightly updates: telling to cmupdater to reboot, just switches the phone off. Manually booting in recovery takes the right effect: it flashes the new rom.

So, there is something not working at the reboot moment, and I can't realize yet if it is related to the recovery or to Cyanogenmod.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] goosebickel:
Its a known bug that's been present for a long time, its nothing to do with the USB.

When you have an alarm set in the built in clock app, reboot, reboot to recovery will just power off the phone.

Turn the alarm off and its fine.

Waiting for a long time and now they fix this bug today.

Cyanogenmod is a very good rom. But It has so many bugs just like camera photo distorted, no EAP-SIM, wifi region bug and USB only charging mode failed.

Maybe I will give up CM Rom and go back to stock. Even though CM has so many features and good performance.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ipi-:
Speaking of the camera, I'm having issues suddenly with opening it. Is that what the camera bug is? Worked fine until I did a regular reboot.

EDIT: Working now that I updated to the 20151119 version.

BTW, when updating through the About phone -> CM updates, does the CM recovery automatically update itself? I've got "Update Cyanogen Recovery" checked in Developer options. If not, do I need to flash it before or after doing an update?

[FIXED] I'm also unable to save to SDcard, though I have edited the permission-file to include media_rw in WRITE.EXTERNAL.STORAGE (or something like that). Are there more requirements before save to SDcard is possible?

Thanks for all replies.

(Sorry if these are retarded questions, I'm new to CM. :silly: )
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Klaus N.:
Try SDFix from Google Play and reboot after executing; that should fix it.

Now it's possible to update directly with CyanogenMod updater, great new!

Thanks a lot! I figured out reboot work when usb cable whas plugged-in bcause I saw the phone going to 'charging mode'. Misjudgment, sorry.

I'ts also good new!

With many many luck I found this github: ahmadsafar/camera . I start reading source code and find interesting things. : it's seem to be all the original sources. I try to compile it to submit a patch and publish it on XDA, in my cyanogen build tree, but as I am not a dev I can't produce a useful patch. So what I found: the interesting part for our z3 seems to be the 'rolloff' in the media-controller/modules/isp/hw/modules folder. Also the CAC folder sound like the denoise algo.

Maybe, with the new sony release someone can help me/I can help someone to do something useful?

What is the good approch for a non dev to compile a source code with lot of missing dependencies?

Jerpelea seems to be adding a lot of updates to the camera binaries of AOSP. We haven't had a ROM which has those incorporated.. I'm trying to understand the process. Is sony making it super cryptic and difficult to take in these updates/changes to AOSP/CM based ROM's ? are they providing half of the solution and keeping the developers guessing what more is needed ?

Just joined this thread - can someone give me a quick rundown please?

Hi all,

Just joined this thread. Intersted in putting CM on my Xperia Z3. I currently have it rooted w/ locked BL running stock, w/ Xposed on it but am bored of that so here I am.

Would appreciate if someone can give me a quick rundown on CM12. for Xperia Z3:

1) Stable enough to use for phone / texting / mms?

2) Random crashes?

3) Seems like camera is an issue from a bit of reading that I've done... so basically camera isn't working at all?

4) Other things I should be aware of?

Greatly appreciate your help everyone.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lu99ke:
I have not had it on for a little while - back to stock due to camera - but here are my answers for what it is worth.

1 / 2 - yup stable enough ... The odd reboot but all good.

3 - camera functionality works fine.... Just the images have a warp to them.. Some people don't find it too much of an issue but I did.

4 - when unlocking your BL you lose your DRM codes.... So if you go back to stock you will lose a few things.... Make sure you back up your TA before unlocking your BL... As you can then restore them if you go back to stock.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] munsabin:
Thanks for the reply [MENTION=5998102]lu99ke[/MENTION].

Just wondering what you mean by "images have a warp to them"? Any examples you can point me to?

Regarding saving the DRM keys: Check! I was in ecstacy when root w/ locked BL was available for the Z3.

z3 fisheye

Hi,

here is an exemple, same picture, same time, but one with z3, one with olympus vg-120 camera.

Hope this help.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lu99ke:
Exactly it... It's called fisheye... And kinda really describes it well...

It's a shame as its an awesome ROM!! I run it on my nexus 7 and Moto G
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
Honestly, I use my phone as main camera, and on everyday picture, globally, I can't see fisheye 'bug'. When used in 'macro mode' it's disaster, otherwise I don't see it.

It's designed by sony to do this by custom roms as fisheye correction is under proprietary licence:

see this https://github.com/ahmadsafar/camera , 'rolloff' in the media-controller/modules/isp/hw/modules folder.

Hi. I've installed CM12.1 on my Z3 - D6633 (dual sim).

Two BUGS:

1. Alarm clock NOT working

2. NFC does not read MIFARE TAG ( original Sony ROM read/write Mifare without problem !!)

Any idea?

Tks

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
Welcome cangino, I hope we can find a solution.

my z3 is a d6603 and i'm not able to read mifare classic tags but it is a hardware issue: d6603 is not able to read classic tags but others works.

Except the selection of mp3 the clock seems to be working for me. Can you describe a little more your problem? Does the application stuck at black screen or alarm never trig? Did you have particular 'tuning' on your phone (password, encryption, third party applications for security) as I can reproduce the issue? Which build are you using?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] cangino:
Tks for you help.

NFC -> I'm on D6633 and the original firmware Sony is able to read/write tag: why CM12 is not able to do ?

Alarm -> if a set on an alarm and i'm on airplane mode on I didn't get any sound from the Z3

I've flashed CM 12.1 Nightly 05022016 - no tuning
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
I download the 20160205 build but can't flash it for now.

I do more tests asap and give you feedbacks.

Can you provide a adb logcat when the alarm should trigger please?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
I do a lot of tests with this build and the only way I found having deskclock not ringing is to kill the app.

With the 'confidentiality' options it is done quickly. So can you check:

- 'Confidentiality' tuning of deskclock ? (In french the apps is called 'Horloge' can be traduced by 'Clock') Should be enabled: 'Wake-up', 'Auto-start', 'Keep wake-up' (sorry for miss traducing),

- In 'developers options', check (at the bottom): 'Don't keep activities' = unchecked and 'Background process limit' = 'standard limit',

- I suppose you have not installed a task killer ?

P.S. you can verify the deskclock is running by typing

ps | grep deskclock

I found some other people with something similar: CYAN-7066 & BACON-4307

Hope this help. As I am not able to reproduce I'm waiting for your dmesg log after a non-ringing alarm.

Hi,

It is an android-6.0 based package but I try it anyway. No change about fisheye. As your rom is based on MM I wish you more luck :)

I build a recovery for z3 and the latests builds are based on 3.10 kernel. Maybe it can help you.

If you upgrade your bootloader (for now it mean reflashing stock with emma) you can use it too and you have a real recovery booting process.

Hope this help.

This rom looks great that it doesn't have camera distortion bug.

Is this rom having twrp recovery, DRM restore method and root on unlock bootloader right now?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
This ROM:

- has fisheye bug, as every non-Sony based ROM

- no DRM restore, because there is nothing to restore, non-Sony ROM doesn't use DRM, there are no functions that need it (X-Reality etc.)

- Cyanogenmod based ROMs include it's own root nad they require UNLOCKED BL because of very own kernel

- CM has it's own recovery
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] attachsnow:
Did you mean Cyanogenmod or Sony Concept Rom?

I think Sony Concept Rom is Sony based ROM without some sony apps.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
I thought you are refering to the CM ... What I wrote is valid for the CM.

The Concept is official Sony ROM, it has no camera bug, no DRM restoration if unlocked, it is dm-verity protected, therefore no recovery, no root on locked. You need custom kernel to root, so you must unlock. Kernel based recovery (XZDR) is included in custom kernel provided in forums..

If you can tell me the link to unlock the bootloader of my Z3, because I can not find the list.

Secondly, I would like to ask what are the bugs of this rom (if it works) and if me recommended for daily use.

Sorry for my English and thanks a lot
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
Hi,

There is my feedback after 6 month use (I never boot another rom on my z3):

There is some issues on this rom:

- fisheye bug

- nfc can't read mifare classic tag

- maybe battery drain faster on cyanogen than stock. (4 days on reduced usage, 2 days on intense usage).

Except this I found this rom very good.

The official cyanogenmod installation is pretty much detailed and contain information for bootloader unlocking.

P.S.: if you plan to switch to custom roms there is some problems for recovery compatibility between old and new bootloaders.

P.S.2: if you never unlock your bootloader try to search 'ta backup' as this partition contain all your drms. (with custom recoveries it is easy to backup).

Has anybody enabled encryption successfully with a latest nightly release?

With a newly flashed device I can enable encryption (need to have +90% battery and AC connected), but after this task is completed and the phone start rebooting there's no need to enter a password to decrypt the phone.

This gives indicator to me that the phone is not encrypted.

Any advice?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nailyk:
Did you set a password/pin/pattern before the encryption process run?

There is one way to check if your phone is encrypted (even with default_password, which it won't be asked): in your mount points.

mount | grep "dm-"

if you get a line mounted on /data your device is encrypted.

P.S.: can't test on my phone as it is stuck on the sony service center :(
