Backup...

Hello,

Do knows anybody, how to backup the CM12. In recovery is this function not available... :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
Sounds like you're using the cm recovery. It's not possible in cm recovery. Install the twrp recovery, it's possible to make back ups there. I had to do the same to make back ups.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
So my cast screen does not work - it does not locate my Chromecast. Is this a cm problem? Any body know?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dhvenus:
Yes, I'm using the original recovery from CM12. I wondering, why no backup possible from there... Ok, so I will try to install the twrp recovery... I hope, it going easy... :)

By the way.. Which is the right twrp recovery for CM12 (bootloader unlocked)?

Edit:

I tried to install fota twrp 2.8.5 from here: http://ckq7.com/link/4898_fota-twrp-2-8-5-0-for-z3c over fastboot. After reboot tried to start twrp recovery but I still got the CM recovery. It doesn´t matter which button I pushed during the start (volume + or volume -). Hm.. I don´t know...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 1Chef:
The stupid useless default cm recovery immediately overwrites any other recovery installed after any reboot, to use twrp flash in fastboot and immediately boot to recovery do anything you need to then (flashing xposed or custom kernels only works in this recovery) (reboot recovery does go back to twrp) then reboot system. Once you've rebooted twrp is gone until you reflash using fastboot. I really wish there was a permenant way to change this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dhvenus:
Thanks for the information!

How to start the twrp recovery? Volume - or volume + to hold at the start?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bi0bi0bi0bi0:
hey just got a z3c in my hands and wanted to ask what bugs are still in, or no fixes since 2015-01-27?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dhvenus:
Hello again,

Just I wondering, no nightlies since 2015-03-04... What is happened?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 1Chef:
dhvenus: spam volume down when you see the Sony boot logo and sometimes nightlies fail to build there should be one released in a few hrs.

bi0bi0bi0bi0: the thread op doesn't appeared to have been updated since Jan some of those are fixed best bet is to flash and try for your self
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] veimus:
They doing some big update, the change log for next release is making big... http://www.cmxlog.com/12/z3c/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Heartkingz:
No, The jenkins autobuilder had problems i guess. They failed on several other builds and it stops building after that failure. Right now its building as it should. A new build should Be up in An our or two.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 1Chef:
New nightly up
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
And the change log is massive. Downloading now...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jumpycalm:
Tried the 3/10 build, did not fix the major issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drophex:
Thats right. Only the notification LED is brighter now. Speaker bug and camera barell distortion are both still there. I flashed stock for now (recovery backup).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Clivectmob:
3/10 build, tap to wake has stopped working for me. Can confirm other major issues still present. Still need to manually apply mixer_paths patch etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] androidjunkie02:
I can confirm that tap to wake stopped working for me as well on the 03/10 built.

The cm updater doesn't work anymore too. I came from 03/04 built, it was so far the best I had!

Antutu stats:

03/04 47340

03/10 44533 (3D Performance decresed, Ram Speed and CPU integer)

Although I should mention, I made a dirty flash. Means I just dowloaded it without

factory reset, flashed it and wiped caches.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
Also the vibration intensity setting is messed up. I usually reduce vibration to minimal, but now the settings crash every time I try to go in that settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dhvenus:
"Also the vibration intensity setting is messed up."

Me too... The whole Setup menu crashed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Raptor270:
3/12

tap to wake still not working for me, i hope it gets a fix soon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Just flashed Cyanogen 12 after coming from Cyanogen 11 on a previous phone... Oh my what has changed... It'll definitely take some getting used to... Z3 Compact seems to have started on CM12 so I can't just flash 11.

But is there a lux values function in Cyanogen 12? In 11 you could have "X lux values means screen is % brightness"... I really, really liked that. Does that still exist on this or is it hidden away?

Edit: No swipe keyboard thingy either? oww...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fusk:
CM12 doesn't have the lux feature, yet.

I flashed cm12 without changing the recovery, worked fine, but phone is now operator locked. In the stock rom sim works fine.

Then i tried flashing cwm and then thought i'd reflash cm-12-20150312-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip and it said "error, for device d8503..... etc. this device is aries" I'm confused.

Edit: Oh i see, no recovery for z3c cm12.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
"Sony released 5.1 binaries for z series..." Did they releases 5.0.x binaries before? Or is this the first of the lollipop binaries? Also, do you guys know what it means for cm 12?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Ow. I thought the idea was to add features, not take them away XD

I really enjoyed the lux feature since I find, regardless what the rom is, auto brightness is always too high or too low at specific lux intervals.

Flashed; cm-12-20150313-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip. The swype keyboard thing is working.

However trying to access Languages & Input it just crashes right away with 'Settings has stopped working'.

I've submitted a bug report for it so hopefully youse got that.

Edit: Is it possible to bring the 'Recent Apps' windows down to a lower level? They're really high up and make it hard to swipe away.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Flashed 315 and still getting settings has stopped working error.

I think it's messing with a lot of my other apps too, everything that has settings never stays when I reboot the phone. From my phone's ring tone to the apps not keeping their 'do not do this'.

Getting tired of this, and I can't even download a previous version to find one that doesn't do this just because they've all 404'd.

Edit: Oh thank Lordy, 304 is still available. I see the light dim issue but it's a huge trade off. Settings are retained and I can access languages & input setting. And yes, it seems settings being broken did affect all my other apps and stuff too.

I'll just keep an eye on updates until this is fixed, then update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zander21510:
Is the Lollipop rollout going to affect us? New drivers/support/etc?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] matjam:
Guys, for some reason my device identifies as an "aries" not D5833. I had to hack the updater-script to install CM12 successfully on my device. Is this a problem with the CM recovery?

I'm running build 312, and I have the same problems everyone else has. I'm guessing they'll be fixed eventually. Whats the best version to be running stability wise?

EDIT: Oh, I flashed the TWRP from here: http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

And that solved my flashing problems. :
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] XQC:
So with official Lollipop released, can we expect major improvements in the next few weeks or are there other factors for the devs?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] berglh:
I cannot speak with any authority, but specifically the Camera Noise Cancelling, X-Reality, BIONZ support is tied with the TA partition that contains the DRM information which gets overwritten with CM12 builds. There is a work around method to bypass and improve some the DRM issues on the following thread [Xperia Z~Z3 Series][EXRxYKG]DRM FUNTION RESTORATION FOR UB DEVICE |Z3 100% worked!!, however this fix is not working with CM12 and is only a partial fix as far as I can tell.

Even if CM could bootstrap off the Sony boot loader, retaining all the DRM and hardware certs, I am sceptical that we will ever see true CM12 integration with the IMX220 Exmor Sensor and Bravia display. I bought this phone for the Camera, and with the stock ROM and Camera app it's fantastic (Better than my old Nexus). With CM12 it's worse than my old phone, so what's the point?

I guess I'm sitting on the sidelines waiting for the any progress on the Camera support. My wishlist would be a CM build with the Sony Camera, Walkman and Movie apps as an extra install pack and a fully functioning Camera with identical stock ROM performance. I appreciate the effort going in to CM12 on the z3c/z3, it's a great accomplishment to get this far, but I guess until CM12 can get over the DRM hurdle I'll just have to roll with Official Lollipop ROMs that I know will retain great camera performance. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Anyone that I can email with suggestions for CM12?

I really, really want Lux values back - and more importantly, lower tiles/recent apps windows to be lower. Does this annoy no one else? They're so high up!

I have to use two hands to swipe apps away which I find counter productive to a compact phone.

Hmm, this isn't related to my settings has stopped working is it.

Eh, I'll give it a go anyway in a bit.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] woonjas:
Don't notice any fixes in 20150317 build

Some of the issues I've experienced so far which have yet to be fixed:

For me Tap to wake is still broken.

Language & Input settings still crashes, so I can not turn off auto correct, select additional language, enable higher sensitivity for glove use.

In the phone app settings I Still can't select the full international number for my provider's voicemail service, only the short number is accepted. No error message of any kind. This short number doesn't necessarily work when travelling abroad.

Speaker mode still does not work.

Reboot to recovery or to update CM from the CM update settings doesn't work. It shuts down the phone. To get into recovery or to upgrade I have to power on and manually press the volume up button once the LED turns from red to pink/purple (I'm not that good with colors ok?) .

Even after clean post 20150304 build reinstall these issues occur.

Edit: noticed this morning that the alarm set in the clock app did go off, but without sound. Good thing my dogs woke me or I'd have overslept bigtime

Any idea when these will be fixed, or an alternative way to at least modify those language and input settings for example through adb terminal?

For now I'll go back to the 20150304 build, because at least Tap to wake and Language & Input settings work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drophex:
I find that quite annoying too. I look 2-3 times every day at the changelogs, but i see only nonsense changes day after day after day. Since january there was only ONE real bug fixed for Z3c: notification LED is brighter now. I mean come on, this is bulls**t. Just for example: why don't the developers integrate the available loudspeaker bug fix finally?? :confused:

sigh....
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
It may look nonsense to you but the things being changed or added aren't necessarily useless... well, nonsense. They're just not something you're really seeing, but things that affect the ROM overall, or things you may have encountered in due time if they didn't do them now.

But I do agree, I would rather the focus be on the more critical bugs/glitches first than minor tweaks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ScratMan38:
The bugs you are talking about are due to kernel, so to fix them you need to have devs working on fixing kernel bugs and pushing kernel patches to CM repo. But to fix kernel bugs, devs first need kernel sources, and Sony is still working on this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Can someone explain me something?

So on first cm12 install I have to flash the boot.img with fastboot.

When I have cm12 installed can I switch to Twrp recovery after that and flash the next nightly with twrp?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nelvinchi:
No, you can't flash another boot.img (Androplus or Doomlord) as these are for STOCK only... There is no TWRP or CWM recovery for CM12 yet - only the cyanogen recovery (which lacks most standard recovery "features").

**Edit - the nightly roms should appear in Settings --> About Phone -- CyanogenMod Updates - you can flash straight from this menu when a new nightly has been downloaded**

I'm looking into porting TWRP recovery over this weekend/early next week....
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iamnotkurtcobain:
That's sad... But thanks. I hope you have success.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nelvinchi:
I hope so to! Check my previous post edit for flashing new CM12 nightly.... :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jeff5891:
I just flashed and everything was a success

something I noticed that no one has mentioned is that when scrolling (menus, web browsing) with a touch and hold the frame rate is low and not very smooth. this is not the case if you are scrolling by flicking your finger. when flicking FPS seems to be correct at 60FPS, very smooth
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I guess it's governor related.. I think cpu clocks down when you release your finger.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Jliax:
It works.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
To be fair I'm stock rom unrooted and this scenario you detail occurs on my device. Perhaps h/w related.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jim380:
Titanium backup gets stuck at 0% while restoring apps. anyone having this problem as well?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] shafiq01:
How about the Cyanogen recovery, is the backlight fixed?

And do you think I need to put the 24012015.zip in internal sd still?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Try downloading SuperSU, make sure it gets root permission using Developer Options, and try it again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 2mal16:
I flashed the 23 version, back light in recovery was not fixed (though it's not a deal breaker), had to put it on internal drive bcs he would not mount SD card (had to format it also afterwards bcs it was not recognized )

Issues:

Display brightness setting still buggy. (Turn off adaptive backlight and adjust manually)

Tap2 Wake does not work, tap2 sleep does (tap on notfication bar)

Nova launcher once crashed constantly upon creating a better battery stats widget which had Su rights .--> tried again , same outcome

Camera button does not start camera. It works for shooting photos though.+

Language and input settings crashing(--> prob need clean install, but i will wait for a nightly to fix it hopefully).

Speakerphone not working properly.

Calling somebody is a bit laggy. but it works.

Other than that it is very smooth and the animations bring the system to life. I like it, though I'm missing the customization options (xposed) in kit Kat.

Synthetic Performance increase : Got 48075 in Antutu, compared to around 43000 in Kit Kat --> ~9% increase which is not bad for just changing os.

But its something nice and new after running stock these couple of months.

Also the notification are acessible faster and more fluently and lockscreen notification is also a very nice thing to have without having to rely on third party apps.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] edcarsky:
i did this still error freezing to 0% still the same, anyone who successfully restored TB apps into CM12, pls report here, thanks.

GitHub Update

Hello

I see some update like this : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/85664/

But when you go on github nothing is updated since one week : https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_z3c

So it's the good git or not ?

Thanks

EDIT i don't understand : https://github.com/CyanogenMod?query=z3c say update 20hours ago where is files ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] HosainH:
Can anyone tell me what the # denotes in the top right as here? Does it mean SU is enabled?

Also is the updater working for anyone? I have the 23/1 nightly installed and the 24/1 nightly does not show up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 2mal16:
Updater is also not working here, did not get the 24 update.

I flashed it in Recovery , worked fine , but I am not seeing anything different.

It looks like SU is enabled on your device though im not sure. i will start to enable it now and report back.

Also the language and input option in preferences crashes on me every time i try to open it , anyone experiencing the same?

Battery life seems to be good, but i will report when i have run for a bit longer with some stats.

RAM consumption is lower than kitkat before, while basically running the same applications. around 200 MB. So the 2 GB will be enough for a long time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] HosainH:
Speakerphone during calls doesn't seem to be working for me as well, just thought I'd note.

[MENTION=272620]2ma[/MENTION]l, language and input is working fine for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 2mal16:
Jeah i can report same issue. It works sometimes but it seems to have a huge lagg phase after enabling it. so better to not turn it on.

Ok thanks, so i will have to check whats crashing it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
Latest nightly build (24) I've noticed:

- Strange speaker clicking sound with "Ok Google" turned on. Turning off button sounds seems to have fixed it.

- Brightness flickering

- Turning on the screen flickers the display before turning on
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] veimus:
It means that some root app is getting root access right now :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] woonjas:
Really?

Then why did tap to wake and language & input settings work in the 20150304 build?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drophex:
Yes. Thats the point.

Oh, that make sense. Nevertheless it feels everlasting :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Language & Input (Settings has crashed) doesn't seem like something they can't fix, since they did it in 304. Just beyond that, it broke and has yet to been fixed.

Woonjas has also said Tap to Wake works on 304, so it's another thing that's broken but not yet fixed.

That makes sense on some things, but not stuff where it works in Nightly Versions a week before.

I just think they either have it lower on their priority list, or they aren't getting any of the feedback sent. I don't think the people working on Z3C cyanogen browse this thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fusk:
Nightlies are like beta's, so expect issues. They're not user tested before release. So if stuff breaks, just wait (unless you have something useful to add to the dev team) and it will be fixed again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
That's what we're doing.. But no one is acknowledging us :crying:

We know Nightlies are betas, which is why we're giving feedback. We just want the more critical issues fixed as priority over all others. Who wants to have to redo all of their phone's settings from the start everytime they restart their phone?

I don't expect the CM Devs to browse this thread, I mean who wants to browse a thread where people complain? lol

That's why I asked for an email if there was one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fusk:
One of the reasons is that a lot of the devs are working on different platforms than z3c, they'll never see this. Second, you can create bug reports on github i think i remember, there everyone will be able to see it & respond.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drophex:
Tap2Wake may have been fixed with latest nightly according to the changelogs.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] aardappel12:
I also like how these 3 get merged while they state in the title that they shouldn't be merged;

Do not make ActivityContainer available to apps. DO NOT MERGE: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91756/

(DO NOT MERGE) Fix Greek accented upper case letters: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91708/

DO NOT MERGE Change pairing_cb to assume temporary pairing by default: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91746/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
cm-12-20150319-NIGHTLY-z3c is out and I gave it a download and good news!

'Settings has crashed' has been fixed for me, most settings save upon reboot. This also includes being able to access Languages & Input settings.

I don't use it, but I turned on Tap To Wake to see if it works since Woonjas said it doesn't.

I can use it with this version, works fine no problem. One thing I noticed when tapping to wake (which doesn't seem to be based on the feature), is if you tap close to the sides (horizontals) it wont turn on - but vertically it will. (Can tap the outer screen on the top/bottom but not the sides)

Two things I noticed back with 304, 314 and now 319 is--

My phone's ring tone wont stay the same. It keeps resetting back to Orion. Not sure if this is my fault though somehow because Notification's stays the same.

When turning the brightness down to low (under 30%?), the screen will flicker really badly like it's trying to switch between two brightnesses that are within 5% difference. I'm not sure if this is a hardware thing though. Can anyone confirm this? When running a program that 'keeps the screen on', it'll dim the screen and this is when I first noticed it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] woonjas:
20150319 fixes tap to wake + language & input settings :)

I still need to play around with it some more to see if any other noticeable issues have been fixed (or new ones have been introduced)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Michealtbh:
How bad is the camera? Could someone upload some sample photos?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
clean installed latest 03/21. bluetooth issues seem to have disappeared. still get the lockup on the device when restarting, unless I unlock as soon as the screen becomes active. haven't tested calls yet but so far so good.

edit - tested a few calls, incoming and outgoing calls speaker seems to be normal. great build so far!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ulysse34:
Just tried CM12 nightly on my device

Nice as usual, but not ready to be used as a daily driver yet :(

Here are some quick bugs that will hopefully be fixed urgently :

Cannot answer incoming phone calls, as the app is slowing down/freezing and prevents me from actually picking up

When placing calls, the earpiece mode doesn't work - speaker only

Unable to start camera app using the physical camera button (it works to take a picture once the app is open, though)

The battery seems to take much longer to charge (just an impression)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
did you clean install? the first two issues you have I can't replicate. however I did notice the slower charging. getting around 800mA charge with my magnetic charger.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] strofo:
I try 22032015 build. Double tap 2 wake works fine, but I cannot anwer call when phone is locked, phone app is freezed. Same issue have on 21032015 build.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ulysse34:
Yes, clean install!

The first two issues have been mentioned elsewhere and especially the speaker mode only in call issue seems to be a known bug.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] starfox5194:
Tired build 21 3 2015 today.

Can't answer calls. Touch screen isn't responding for incoming phone calls.

Actually talking during phone calls seems fine

Physical camera button doesn't work.

Step counting/low power gps in sony lifelog doesn't work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] strofo:
Still cannot answer incoming calls on 23th build.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] f1lml33:
Incoming calls problem: If you deactivate double tab for wake up in the settings/display, you can answer calls.
