[Verizon LG G3] Revoe:
If you're looking for some good stock-based ROMs, you really need to check out [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] 's SkyDragon and [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] 's Jasmine. I've been running SkyDragon for about a month now and have zero complaints and the performance and battery life are exceptional. If you like customizing, SkyDragon gives you the option to install the Xposed framework which allows for numerous tweaks and customizations.

As for the applications that I have found to be useful, you can't go wrong with any of the following which I use on my daily driver:

Xposed Modules;

G3 TweaksBox (a must-have)

Xposed Torch

YouTube AdAway

Root Apps;

App Ops

BusyBox Pro

Solid Explorer

SuperSU Pro

Titanium Backup Pro

LG Volume Booster

XCam LG (Pro)

After you install TWRP, keep a backup on your SD card and you've got nothing to worry about.

How do I reset the timeout? Got an unlock code from network provider but the phone says timeout 14 times?????
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedyar91:
Hi Everbody.

I Am Using Existenz Rom.

So Viper Came Pre-Installed..

But After Installing The Drivers I Dont See Any Change. I Have Been Trying Different Settings For My Earphones But No Luck..

Could Someome Help Me Out With The Proper Setting.

Would Appreciate Any Help.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey94:
I think you need to activate it in the settings first. You can choose between normal Audio Enhancement and Viper4Android.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedyar91:
Bro Its Activated I've Selected It As The Default Over DSP Manager And Enhancements.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shakkirk:
Screen shots please...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] basti2909:
I guess its a cm based. So we need unlocked bl right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] aardappel12:
It's the same as any Lollipop based PAC ROM, so just search the web for pics.

Yes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] drorcun:
at least a custom rom for z3c. thanks man for your efforts...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
I think PAC is AOSP & CM based. Custom kernel. Unlocked bootloader, yes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
Happy to build ;) actually it's not that difficult with CM device support. Probably I'll build some monthly versions or so...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] becks0r:
just what i wanted to write. big thanks

hope we can see some more, maybe validus/resurrection remix? (maybe i should get me better informed to do it myself^^)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
:good: In case of resurrection remix you only need to add/edit 1 file (local_manifest) to be able to compile a working rom. All the rest it just setting up ubuntu, init/sync repo an start building ... ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] basti2909:
Hmm it could be a reason to unlock bootloader.,)

XZDualRecovery

I've uploaded an EXTRA boot.img including XZDualRecovery provided by NUT's! http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=34070511dc3ee6809f305c66a5fa122fcbf9dcff

Just flash it before or after installing the PACROM zip. It contains the original kernel + DualRecovery. CyanogenRecovery really sucks, not even a way to make backups. Now we can :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
does this have a camera fix included, or does that need to be flashed separately? I don't have a backed up TA partition, so I rely on the fix for image processing (like many others on here, I'm sure).

thanks in advance and nice to see the ROM!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
there's nothing like this included. as far as i know custom roms/ custom kernels can't handle drm keys from TA partition. not sure about flashable drm replacement, i don't think it will work, but maybe it does ;)

perhaps someone knows more about this sony image processing stuff.

isn't that all software based? if so, i could imagine that a good camera app (FV-5 or something like) can bring the same results.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mrrflagg:
Great work mate. Been running a few hours with the updated boot.img

Hopefully there is no "memory leak"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tribemac:
That fix is only useful on stock Sony based rom's.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
bugs update

(1) i found a small, almost funny bug. couldn't reboot to recovery today because phone always ended with shutdown. i desperately flashed the boot.img again but no change. only after deactivating everything i thought not being active at installation the problem disappeared.

well, it's the active alarm, that i use every morning :eek: ...

(2) in call volume issue seem's to be somewhere hidden in android_device_sony_z3c/audio/mixer_paths.xml of the repo. just in case someone likes to search :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mrrflagg:
I have noticed a small bug, could be just me though. When rebooting while plugged in to the USB charger it goes as far as the Sony logo then freezes until I unplug it. How would I go about submitting a bug report for it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
Hi, thank's for that! I've just reproduced what you wrote. On my phone this is also connected to active alarm clock. It's rebooting fine when alarm is off. So, quite the same as my last post.

I have no suggestion about real bug reports, because of 2 reasons: this is an unofficial build, primarily for myself ... but shared. I would stop building if Z3C would get official PAC support. And I've just started building roms 2 months ago. So, I'm not having the skills (yet) for advanced debugging. Right now it's more like being voluntary apprentice :laugh: ... I'm gonna add your input it into 1st post.

For now stability of this rom is mainly dependent on PACROM itself and official CM support.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mrrflagg:
Im glad you could reproduce the same bug. I think you have done a great job mate. I'm loving this ROM and appreciate your efforts. I'm trying to figure the dev side of things myself, not having much luck yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nikozzzzzz:
Good job, m8!

Can someone post a picture, taken by camera on this phone with this rom ?

A picture of a door , or a wall, for example. Any picture featuring a rectangular shape with straight lines.

I had a broblem be4 on CM12 [MENTION=2003396]z3c[/MENTION] , the camera ( any camera app ) took pictures, distorting proportions, like there was a fisheye filter applied o_O
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] framerper2:
Thank you for this! Keep up the good work! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
New Version 150512!

Volume bug on in-call got solved today, YEAH!!! Thanks a lot Cyanogen!!

Updated CM & PAC Sources.

Dirty flash over version 150427 should be fine.

One thing: I couldn't get XZDR to work this time, it just doesn't boot into recovery. Actually I planned to put it into the rom zip. I'm gonna ask NUT for that. So if someone needs to make a backup, use the XZDUAL_4PAC511_150427boot.img for that step. Then flash the current boot.img from the rom zip (containing cyanogen recovery).

btw: rashr app is really useful for flashing :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
that's probably what you mean?

anyone knows, if that's happening on all z models with custom roms?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Firstly thanks for the update!

The camera does seem to be affecting other z models :( http://xdaforums.com/z3/help/cm12-camera-distortion-t3060606/post60679969#post60679969

wait a little longer

ok, i got some errors from play services. even after fresh install. will have to check if it's gapps or rom related.

if you don't want to risk instabilities don't install the latest version for now!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Looks like it's rom related - I also got play service errors but managed to setup ok reverting to the previous rom build.

Don't know whether it helps but when optimising apps it brought up Documents when that app wasn't included in the base gapps package and I didn't flash it manually as an add on either...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nikozzzzzz:
OH YEEES :D

I got the same stuff. I thought, the problem comes when you lose DRM camera drivers. But on stock+unlocked BL everything seems fine...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
ok, thanks. did you flash the new pac version + new gapps version or only the pac rom zip?

google apps and services seem to be i bit autonomous sometimes + making troubles often. the new version works fine without gapps. i thinks i'll test a different gapps package to see if the same problems occurs.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Good idea on testing with another gapps package. I used the new pac version + the old gapps I flashed with the previous pac release. That was 5.1, so maybe tonight I'll try with 5.0.2 instead.

edit: tried booting without installing any gapps package but I still get the same error - I'm not sure factory reset is properly wiping the phone as I saw it optimising Play Services when starting up. Very odd...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
finally working version 2015-05-13

yesterday's compile somehow couldn't handle google apps correctly. i tried differents gapps packages without success. so here's a new build after fresh sync/ make clean start. seems to be ok now. don't know if dirty flash works but i guess it should.

boot.img recovery is cyanogen's.

I fastboot flashed "boot.img" from "D5833__XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable" after flashing pac_z3c_LP-MR1.Beta-1.Unofficial_20150513-204120.

However, when I boot + volume up/down, I can't enter any kind of recovery(used to be able to enter cyanogen recovery).

PAC rom still runs fine though.

Here's what I saw after flashing the boot.img

sending 'recovery' (16178 KB)

OKAY [ 0.561s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.080s]

finished. total time: 1.643s

Any idea what happened?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
Super work !

Could you update the rom's source every CM or PAC update or it's to long or difficult ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
what do you mean with every cm or pac update?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
I think he means to ask if you will update this rom as often as CM or PAC are updated and implement all latest changes of CM (new nightlies are released frequently).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
Excuse me I'm not as good as you in devellopment I think so if I tell you an idiot thing don't blame me :rolleyes:

I can saw that everday a CM 12.1 rom appear on cyanogenmod.org for the Z3c with some solved bugs, that mean CM has updated the CM source for the Z3c (if not, I'm totaly wrong) so can't you use the updated source to update your rom more frequently (or each day, but I think i'm asking to much x)

(I think it's the same thing for Pac source, is it not ?)

PS: If you can't do it 'cause of time, can you explain to me how I can do it (compile the rom with the source) ?

Sorry for all the mistakes i've made in this text I'm french ^^'' Thanks for reading !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
:) no problem, i just wasn't sure what exact updates you ask for.

generally i like the idea of "nightly" updates BUT firstly my personal experience tells that they bring more bugs than they solve :laugh:

and secondly in order to do sth like this a build server + possibility to offer ota (over the air incremential updates) is somehow a prerequisite. this is why there is "official" support by cm, pac, omni etc. for certain devices.

my plan is to watch these websites regularly:

www.cmxlog.com/12.1/z3c/

review.pac-rom.com/#/q/status:merged

if i (or anyone in this forum) finds an important step forward or one of the remaining bugs solved i am gonna sync repos (which is several GB to donwload) and start compile (which lets my laptop howl for 3 hours :D )

so maybe a new version comes once/ month.... maybe after 3 month if system is running well ... or maybe pac developers start official support and you can update dialy ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
Ok thanks for answering. Can you tell me (or teach me briefly) how i can compile the rom by myself ?Just tell me the requierment (x64 linux I supposed) and the command I've to use ^^ ?

I've seen in CM log that the next nightly will integred a new Android update (5.1.1_r1 to 5.1.1_r2), will you update pac because of this ?

[MENTION=5913896]filou76[/MENTION] firstly thanks as always, the latest build has been rock solid and is much better with improved call sound/speakers. No ETA, no pressure, nothing expected but is this CM fix significant enough to sync repos?http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98843/ Looks like it fixes the mobile data remaining active bug, restoring the battery life of our devices back to their best! :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shakkirk:
+1
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
increasing battery life seems a good reason. i can make a new version this weekend.

but tell me: have you experienced wakeups after sync as it's written in the changelog? i didn't know the rom has this problem, but i don't use gmail e.g.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Yes I believe so but it doesn't seem linear. It can be seen by any app whose awake time is short but the length of the total mobile data used is significantly longer. This is because even after the device is no longer awake the sync continues on though it should have stopped. I will say that the battery life on this rom isn't too bad but it should improve for those who use mobile data heavily!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:

yes I know them, used in the past with other phones and already downloaded now :o as per the debloat I prefer doing that myself :D

it seems I have no network immediately after first boot with this rom? should I add APN manually or it works for you guys also the automatic recognition mode for data traffic?

thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
I'm currently on latest CM but I recall it did take a while after first boot to lock onto my network. Automatically identified my apn from sim so no need to enter manually.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
Is used to flash this package too, but from cyanogen recovery i got some error because "not signed" or so. otherwise the debloat feature is really cool :) and flashing from twrp is no problem too.

Newer had a problem or delay with network (here). No need for adding APN manually either.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
Thanks a lot for this reply!

Gonna ad it to 1st post. I'll test USB OTG again. Maybe it's (very much) depending on the memory stick itself.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] edocod:
All the USB sticks I tried worked, except a usb 3.0 one that kept disconnecting. I blame it on the cable, though, since moving a the connector solved it.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] House3272:
Just got the Z3c, would love to try this out.

(I'm rooted, with twrp recovery, on stock firmware atm)

Buta quick question, there's a lot of fuss about unlocking the boot and losing drm functionality.

If I plan on using this rom, does any of that even matter? Like x-reality display, or the various camera algorithms?

Asking cause there's a few drm restore threads.

Also, sony's stock rom doesn't allow for raw capture or full manual controls?

Is that a per rom thing? Like does this one have either features?

Thanks! (and sorry, I've been outta the loop for way too long haha)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Arturiuz!:
definitely!i mean,every ROM obviously has it's own features depending how they are created by the developer & regardless if stock or customized. ;)

you might want to try flash this very good rom to find out! ;)

however,unlocking bootloader will have DRM keys lost & it's unique features!

check the link about restoring DRM & features:

i've been trying to get rid of the latest problems, i.e. crashing android browser, opera browser, voice recorder and google apps (if installed). tried 4 or 5 builds in the meantime. i've got no idea why and not the skills to search in log files.

if anyone likes to test and find out, i uploaded version from july 4th.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterT:
My carrier is Verizon. I have an individual plan with a 2 year contract. My phone is an LG G3.

I recently just bought a Nexus 6 right off of the Google Store. The Nexus 6 takes a nano Sim card and unfortunately for me my current Verizon sim card in my LG G3 is a micro sim.

After going back and forth with Verizon I realized there is no official way of getting a nano sim card for a Nexus 6 IMEI bought directly from Google.

My unnoficial options:

1. Get a sim card cutter off of Amazon and cut my current sim card and put it in my Nexus 6. Then sell my LG G3 on EBay. When the next user gives the IMEI to a Verizon rep will this cause a problem since technically the IMEI / Sim number combo is still on my account?

2. An employee at a 3rd party Verizon reseller said he could just activate a new nano sim card using an IMEI number from a dummy iPhone that he has laying around. If I go this route my account will have an iPhone and a G3 on it I guess. Would I have to worry if the employee does the same thing for someone else? Does Verizon keep track of IMEIs or just device names on peoples accounts? If I go this route I will also be selling my G3 on EBay.

Can someone who has knowledge on this topic please tell me which path they would prefer and why? I would like to know the downsides of each method.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
Once you pop the SIM in the N6, it will show up on your account as "Non-VZW device". The phone you use to activate the SIM will no longer show. So it doesn't matter what you do with the other phone afterwards.

I would go with the second option though so you don't have worry about cutting the SIM down. I thought it was really easy and I cut my micro down with scissors while I was sitting in traffic, but some people have had issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterT:
Thank you for the response this is exactly what I was looking for!!! Any idea why my google voice won't work. Is it possibly because I was subscribed to Verizon Visual Voicemail Basic on my previous phone? I have never had problems setting google voice up on any of my past verizon phones until the N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
NP, wish I could help you with that too but I've never used G-Voice before.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvp:
Make sure that call forwarding didn't get turned off on your line. I had to call Verizon support & get a rep to turn it back on. Or dial *72 and then your Google voice number.
