28 nightly seems great on the calls, still around a 1.5-2sec delay on recieving calls but its alot more managable than 4sec so its muuuch better, thank you, now only the fisheye effect on camera thats really bothering me. Is everyone still facing that issue that camera is warped down the middle of photos?

Hi.

Is it normal to find these values in build.prop while running the latest cm12 :

ro.build.description

D6603-user 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.93 ovf_Rw release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint

Sony/D6603/D6603:4.4.4/23.0.A.2.93/ovf_Rw:user/release-keys

I have in this file lot of directive about dalvik.... But dalvik isn't present in lollipop. I think those lines are not necessary with art.

What do you think? Remove or not?

I want to know that does Sony z3 rom... Work on Sony z3 dual.....if yes tell me.. If no suggest me what should I do...I have already rooted my phone without unlocking bootloader...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Like every 5th post is about Z3 Dual, you don't care about reading through the thread do you? But to answer this: It will boot and the system will work but you won't get signal reception on either SIM card. So no calls, no internet connection over GSM. At least that's what I know.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Anuraggupta622:
so now which rom should I go for....r u should uproot it again.....will Sony z3 nightlies rom work in my phone
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Arju:
I would suggest you to not flash it on your phone. You won't be able to make phone calls. To be able to flash roms, you would have to unlock your bootloader. So the best thing for you to do is to wait until phone calls and mobile data works for your device until you flash it.

So the short answer: Don't do anything stupid, just wait!

[RECOVERY][FOTA] Z3 TWRP 2.8.6.0(f2fs)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zepelinhead:
Hi guys,

I'm currently on rooted Sony's KitKat D6653. I've tried flashing CM12 but I get an error message saying "this is for D6602, D6603.... This device is leo". What can I do?

I've rooted the phone with locked bl following some guide I found here in xda.

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] da900:
To be able to flash this ROM you should unlock your BL. And D6653 is dual sim variant, is it?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zepelinhead:
Thank you dude. I don't want to loose my DRM keys so I think I will stick to Sony's ROM. And D6653 variant only differs LTE bands from the D6603. I think D6633 is the dual sim version!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] smala:
you should first check these points:

1: root with locked bootloader ==> DONE

2: dump TA partition with proper tool ( requires root) and test with "dry Run" (you'll get a zip with the DRM keys for any restore you want, thne the dry run will test the consistency)

3: backup your data (sd-card, non external sd-card), because point #4

4: unlock bootloader (WARING: wipes data and internal storage)

5: flash the ROM

5a: "this is for D6602, D6603.... This device is leo" means you have a correct-recovery but you can't flash any ROM because there's a versione-check: you need to modify the "update-binary" script of the flashable zip package.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Crosslife:
Yes. Same bug in 04/02
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] RealitySwitch:
Also, even if you do dump your TA partition (good move!) if you restore the TA after an unlock, it will re-lock your bootloader. If you then unlock again, remember that it erases everything, so ONLY restore TA if you're prepared to go back to a flashtool/Sony phone re-install.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
The warped picture bug is still present in latest nightly 04-02. Did a dirty flash though, so not a hundred percent confirmed.

restore a sony stock Nandroid (if you have one) or flash a stock rom via FlashTool

restore the TA partition (this will relock the bootloader)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Yes it does wipe /system. That's why you have to reflash kernel, xposed and so on after an update (that is also the reason for me to update not that regular).

As posted on JIRRA. And after Cyanogen Mod Forum seems dead. After couples of weeks absolutely no progress. Changelogs are full of unnecessary Fixes i never feelt as Bugs. At this time i guess not even one of the Maintainers is owning a Z3, Z3compact and Z2 Tablet Wifi at his own. CM12 seems to become the worst Custom ROM ever. I am out. But who cares? Felt like i allways was the only tester for all three Devices using JIRRA and post regressions. Will went to stock in the next Week. Bye......

AudioFX crashes still at every Reboot

No working App2SD

Camera is broken

Loudspeaker is broken at Voicemessages and Phone

Absolutely unusable. :mad:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
While not the official maintainer for the Z3, I am contributing as much as I can. The remaining issues are actually really tricky to resolve but we are all working on it. I think you are mistaking CM12 for a finished product. There are no stable releases yet, you are using nightly builds meant for developers and users willing to experiment and contribute. Look at gerrit and see how much progress is happening every day. Hundreds of developers are spending their spare time making CM as good as possible for other to enjoy. I think CyanogenMod is a great demonstration of how awesome OSS is. Despite Sony being of little help, a lot of people are now using CM12 as their daily driver on the Z3/Z3c.

But hey, if you think CM12 is the worst custom ROM out there, then go and use a different custom ROM that works better for you.

For me at least, while the fisheye effect is a bit annoying, I hardly consider the camera broken (hey, take a look at the awesome pixhawk-powered drone I just finished building! :) ) and I certainly do not consider CM12 unusable on my Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] redlabour:
The camera is totally broken since weeks and crashes Immediately on Z3 and Z2 Tablet. There are no working Response on the regressions at Z3 and Z2 Tablet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Please define "totally broken" because I've just snapped 5 photos of my cat with my Z3 and it seems pretty functional to me. I have not had a any camera related issues except for the fisheye effect.

In all fairness, while your reported Jira issues are appreciated, I have not been able to reproduce your camera issue (I am using the CM Camera app and it works just fine) nor your speaker issue (While the in-call speaker isnt perfect, its certainly working for me).

No issues with AudioFX here. Post a stacktrace of the crash if you want and I can take a look at it.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
I feel your being quiet rude to the developers at cm, lollipop has been a complication from day one to get everything working, yes its still unstable, but thats what you signed up for when using a CM nightly. Whilst i have been complaining about for eg the camera for a while that hasnt been fixed, i know they'll get it working soon, and with multirom out there, you really got no reason to complain.. I also cant rely on it yet as a stable daily driver just yet, but give it time..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Have you tried removing Xposed and check if the issues still persist? Since you're seemingly the only one experiencing them, I am inclined to assume that there is something wrong on your end.

I don't mind some camera bugs every now and then. And the other known issues are, well, just fine by me. I will give my first flash a try then, and will be supplying some feedback here in this thread.

You guys got any tips for flashing the Z3?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] cmeeren:
I started by following this guide, found myself unable to flash CM12 due to my device identifying itself as "leo" instead of "D6603" etc., and ended up unlocking my bootloader using a key from Sony. I ultimately installed this recovery and I haven't had any problems since then.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Aronuser:
make sure to wipe cache and dalvic cache always after flashing a rom or adding gapps or else (mods, keyboard zip, etc.)

this can solve many issues.

also i would recommend to not attempt dirty flashes of a rom, always do a clean install (meaning to wipe everything despite the external sd card before flashing the rom (see twrp, advanced wipe))

wiping dalvic and cache can also solve issues that occur once the rom ran good for a while but suddenly has issues

I really think you need to perform a full wipe. I havent seen any other reports from users with similar issues so that leads me to believe that those problems are specific to your device(s).

Sorry to ask this stupid question, but if I decided to install CM12, what can I expect in terms of bugs, glitches and stability?

Expect a slight fish-eye effect in your camera photos, some minor issues with brightness and that's pretty much it really. Give it a go and see how you like it. If you regret the decision just restore your backup ;)

Three Devices - same ROM - different Configurations and Apps and the Bugs should be really at my side? ;) I switched to Stock Lollipop yesterday - Apps2SD, Camera working and much more improvements. Sorry time for CM is passing by since Sony did their Job much better then CM.

CM has to recognize that Money can make sick. Before the commercial turn of CM there were never so much ignorance and unprofessionality at their ROM in the last Years.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
You do know that Cyanogen Inc and CyanogenMod are two different things right? Your argument basically says that because Cyanogen Inc is trying to make money and because you're having issues the open source developers (and nobody else for that matter) can't reproduce (and hence not fix), the CM community is ignorant and unprofessional...

Sorry mate, I'm guessing that you're experiencing the issues you mention due to how you've flashed the ROM. Out of the hundreds of users who has CM installed on their Z3 I haven't seen anyone else report a broken camera. If its not reproducible then it's really hard to fix. And since we have a ton of work left to do then we choose to prioritize the issues everyone are experiencing instead of bug hunting a issue that a single user is experiencing.

That said, I'm glad the stock ROM works for you.

Disclaimer: I am no official representative for Cyanogen Inc, and the opinions expressed in my posts are my personal opinions.

Odd. I bought a pack of NFC tags on Ebay and they work just fine. Though its quite difficult to find the correct spot on the Z3 for it to register though. Do you hear the NFC notification sound and/or vibration at all or does it just completely ignore the connection entirely? I havent really done extensive work with NFC but on most devices Ive worked on NFC either works or it doesnt.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MattiasThall:
It does nothing, im sliding it over the nfc tags and nothing registers, nfc is on and sound too. It's just dead and doesnt react at all :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Interesting. What you could do is run adb logcat and see if any NFC related messages show up at all when you touch your NFC chips.

Also, instead of swiping, try pressing the chip directly onto the NFC icon at the back of the device.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] MattiasThall:
Just tried. Zero messages related to NFC shows up.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I will stop feeding the troll now, but for your information, I fixed the loudspeaker bug in the open source audio HAL. However, it was collectively decided that the open source audio HAL still needs some work and we reverted to the proprietary Sony HAL which arguably works better but has the unfortunate consequence that the loudspeaker is unreliable. Now that Sony has released Lollipop for the Z3 we need to restart testing and see if we can make things work better with the new HAL. However, this takes time.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Download the latest CM nightly, unzip it and flash the boot.img with fastboot to get CM recovery installed. Then try to flash the nightly zip from there.

If it complains that your device model is "leo" and not supported, you will have to make a minor modification to the updater script in the zip file. Look further back in this thread for detailed instructions.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] akira.pwr:
Thanks a lot, but I don't understand why it have to happen, with another kernel I've flashed this morning my device was recognized as Leo and I wonder why anyone who made a kernel have to put a different name.

Anyway thank you, I'll give a look.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] redlabour:
[MENTION=2443654]akira.pwr[/MENTION] Because CM has called z3 z3 because there was a old HTC called Leo before. Anyway this makes no sense because the old HTC is no longer supported. CM Intelligence. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Ah, right. If you flashed a custom kernel, all bets are off pretty much, and that would indeed be the reason why an incorrect model number was reported. :)

If you need help with modifying the script just let me know and Ill take care of it for you.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

It makes a lot of sense actually because the device code name is supposed to be a unique identifier for a given device. Having two devices with the same name, even if they are not in the same source branch still messes up Android's intricate build system as the lunch combo names would be identical. In the, albeit unlikely, event that someone wanted to port CM12 to the HTC Leo, it would then be impossible because the device name is already in use. If you've ever dealt with relational databases before you understand how this would be an issue.

That said, if you know of a better fix, feel free to make the necessary changes to the build system and push it to gerrit.
