[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] filou76:
Hello everybody,

I've just compiled PACMAN-ROM for my new Z3C. Current version is PAC-LP MR1 Beta2.

Device trees are CyanogenMod's so probably all device specific CM-bugs will be there too.

The boot.img inside the zip contains CM 12.1 kernel and "Cyanogen Recovery" (no backup right now!).

For alternative recoveries/kernels scroll down to "TESTED - WORKING"...

If the rom is stable for daily use (as I hope) I'm gonna build newer version periodically (depending on PAC & CM updates).

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.

Flash it before or after installing the PACROM zip. It contains the zip's

kernel + DualRecovery. Installing the rom zip will overwrite recovery again

so for backups it might be necessary

to flash it always before installing a new zip, e.g.

- Screenshots ;)

- Yes! I got it running. After some hours of use, it seems really smooth & snappy. No reboots.

- How I installed everything: Root on Kitkat stock rom, backup TA-partition, install

Dual-recovery, update to Lollipop rooted, make nandroid backup of hole system,

unlock bootloader, flash PACMAN boot.img, wipe data/caches,

flash PACMAN zip + GAPPS ... quite some hours of work.

TESTED - WORKING:

- 2G, 3G, 4G

- wifi, wifi hotspot

- bluetooth audio

- nfc

- usb otg

- GAPPS (mentioned below)

- titanium backup

- PAC customizations (not all tested)

- video playback on youtube, vlc, mxplayer

- camera & video recording

- GPS using Google Maps

- headphone sound

- XZDR recovery (version 2.8.15 not working): http://nut.xperia-files.com/

- FOTA TWRP recovery (persistent in fota kernel partition): http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/gen...12-nightly-t3010550/post58854063#post58854063

- M5 kernel (CM12.1 based): http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/orig-development/kernel-m5-kernel-t3115498

BUGS: :eek:

- phone call volume loud / not reducable in dialer app. (skype & whatsapp calls are alright) solved on 150512

- If alarm clock is set active -> reboot leads to normal shutdown -> deactivate alarm for that case

- photo: Little fish-eye effect on short distance (it's not that little actually)

NOT TESTED YET:

- encryption

Installation notes: Unlocked bootloader required

- flash boot.img (rashr on phone/ fastboot on pc), then boot into custom recovery

- wipe cache, wipe art/dalvik cache

- when coming from a different rom wipe data (factory reset)

- when changing between different gapps packages format system may be useful

- flash rom zip

- if needed flash gapps zip
