Upgrading to marshmallow when it arrives

As far as I know you can install new roms without unlocking if you don' install a new kernel.

Is this correct?

What about when marshmallow when it arrives, how will we be able to install it with/without unlocking the phone?

When going from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 I can't remember having any problems or was this an upgrade without changes to the kernel.

Can anybody explain me what you cannot do with a locked bootloader and how this will involve the upgrade to Marshmallow?

If unlocking is necessary we will encounter problems with the camera (some things are coupled to the phone being locked), will they be gone once the phone is relocked or do we need the patch for looking up drm rights when the phone is unlocked, will all of this be a mess or will it be easy to install/configure?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] PeppeBove:
Al that you say is right, and no one can say what will it happen when new marshmallow will be released, but don't worry, we will found a solution. ?

Than, Unlocking the smartphone you can change kennel, and new kernel means better and deeper control on smartphone architecture. that, i think, we can translate in... OVERCLOCK!

and new governors for better speed and/or battery performance.

But you know... We will lose something from Sony "experience".

Ps:with this room you can stay with a locked bootloader, and be happy ?

As described before (and by some other users in the linked thread) many people (like me) get no signal; so no benefit over stock fm-radio. :(

Clean installed 4.6 2 days ago. It's been perfect (no battery drain, no reboots) and it's even faster than previous version.

Thanks for the great work!

P.S: if you experience strange battery drain after update (OTA package) it's usually because of some compatibility problem with some app, settings or other under the hood stuff. Just complete wiping and clean installing always solved that kind of issue for me.

Presently I'm venturing into Layers and one of the requirements is the ROM one uses has the Layers Theme Engine built-in.

Have read the first 20 pages and last 20 pages of the thread but havent found any mention of Layers.

Only 'reference' I found was under the credit list where [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] is mentioned.

So is this ROM similar to the SLiMROM which has the Layers Theme Engine?

Does the 4.6 version have the battery drain bug? I was on 4.2 and it was terrible in that aspect. Im aware that not all phones get this bug but are there anyone who had it and dosnt have it anymore?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] TechKiel:
Sure thing. :)

You might want to consult AndroPlusKernel's thread for that.

AndroPlusKernel has a lot of features which significantly extends you control on how your smartphone works.

The most prominent being the ability to underclock and undervolt your phone to improve battery life an thermals.

You could also overclock and increase voltage to improve overclock stability to squeeze more performance from your silicon but I don't recommend it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] munch2477:
Snapchat stopped working with rooted phones and more specifically, xposed. There are workarounds however. Might take a bit of searching but I have snapchat working in both 4.5 and 4.6. I believe I uninstalled the xposed framework and installed an older version of snapchat followed by reinstalling the framework and rootcloak. If I can dig up exactly what I did I will let you know.

EDIT: Remembered what I did -

1) Uninstall snapchat and the xposed framework (don't need to uninstall modules - just framework)

2) After reboot, install snapchat version 9.21.1.0 (Make sure you have updates turned off for snapchat - I used titanium backup to prevent it from automatically updating in the play store)

3) log in to your snapchat account. It should work at this point. If it does not, make sure xposed framework has been uninstalled correctly.

4) If snapchat now works, reinstall the xposed framework.

5) I recommend getting the rootcloak module for xposed at this point and adding snapchat to the list. Should be pretty self-explanatory to download and setup.

6) Snapchat should now be working with xposed and root. Don't log out of your snapchat account or you will need to redo the process.

Those are the steps I took. Hopefully it works for others.

I believe that it has something to do with the inclusion of Ported Z5 Sound Files and libs by [MENTION=5627933]androidexpert35[/MENTION].

+1 people are struggling to understand what I am saying when on phone calls.

Does anyone know where I could find the stock sound libs to restore? I love this rom, but being able to make calls is quite an important part of having a phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] joakimbo:
Thanks.

Is it normal that phone starts to lag when installing new OTA? This happened last time (did a full wipe because of it), and happened now, when updating from 4.4 --> 4.6. Cleared dalvik cache both times. Animations is the worst lag problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] M1P:
I very doubt that this issue has anything to do with Z5 libs or Wajk's work at all. Actually you can google and find a lot of complaining about Mic distortion in a variety of Xperia models on stock firmwares. And a lot of people changing their phones during warranty period and even on new phones still experiencing the same issue.

If it's happening only in some area, like when others can't hear you well in Home area, but everything is fine on Work area - this is definitely this case.

My wife had the same problem with Xperia Z1C, currently I'm having the same bug on Z3C, and the only way to bypass it to downgrade back to firmware you didn't get this issue by nandroid restore (software downgrading, reset to defaults will get you nothing. Trust me I've tried everything ;)). OR it will eliminates by itself when the Sony update their firmware, not Wajik! It looks as random bug, and it pops up on random firmwares (modem firmwares?)...

First of all try to change Mic sensitivity from Auto\High to Medium or Low.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bafforosso:
Xposed (same file as yours) working perfectly here with 4.6 on clean install, but I flashed with Philz.

Maybe try flashing with Philz (first xposed-uninstaller-20150831.zip then xposed-v79-sdk22-arm.zip), if it doesn't work then clean install is probably the way to go.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] TechKiel:
First of all, I am not saying that the fault lies with Wajk's ROM per se, the problem lies with the included "Ported Z5 Sound Files and libs".

I only encountered this issue when I tried flashing the Z5 Sound Files and Libs over my stock ones.

While the playback sound quality improved over the stock files and libs, it seems that the mic sensitivity is always maxed out.

Changing the mic sensitivity setting doesn't help at all.

It doesn't happen for me on the stock sound files and libs, on D5833 23.4.A.1.264 and 23.4.A.1.232

The Auto mode works for the most part but I have to set it to low sensitivity when I have to record stuff on a noisy environment that has a lot of bass on the background. It works well even if I attempt to record in front of the speaker.

If you've read olokos' post on the Ported Z5 Sound Files and libs thread,

"androidexpert35 the sound got much better from the headphones, but microphone got terrible. The mic sensivity in settings doesn't change anything. Microphone got worse in-call, in service menu and while recording. You should point it out in the first post."

-------------------------------------------

On a side note, I did have my share of crappy mic distortion with my previous Xperia smartphones but that issue happens if and only if you're pointing either of the mics to the source of the loud noise (e.g. a speaker). It was quite prominent on my Xperia SP (it was REALLY annoying) but my Z3 Compact isn't crippled by that issue because the mic sensitivity could be adjusted to compensate for it if the auto mode fails to adjust the mic gain to the situation (which rarely happens anyway).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] M1P:
Then it looks like we're talking about different kind of Mic problems.

I've described the situation when during the call (GSM) your partner can't hear you not because of low mic sensitivity or other kinds of surrounding sounds, but because your voice is actually crippled\distorted (fast googling gave me some results, like here and here, but believe me there are lot of reports of this issue on different Xperia models and different firmwares). And the main mystery here, that in other areas (like different GSM stations) there were no problems at all.

So I thought [MENTION=5439781]hnegrao[/MENTION] catch this case... :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] TechKiel:
I see. : |

I haven't got that much experience with cellular calls because I mostly use viber or fb messenger for calls.

My telco is really horrible with signal coverage and quality which is why I tend to resort to WiFi for calls.

Hmm. I think that it's more of how the call is being transmitted from the phone through the cellular network and not much of the mic itself since the issue varies with different GSM stations.

There are different methods on how voice is compressed and transmitted through GSM cellular networks but from what I've learned fiddling with Nokia phones in the past:

Call Quality, Bitrate, and Power Consumption in calls:

GSM-Enhanced Full Rate > GSM-Full Rate > GSM-Half Rate

It could be the case that the phone's modem fw tends to stick with the lowest quality (GSM-Half Rate) with some GSM stations (could it be that the station dropped to Half rate to accommodate more calls or that the phone stuck with half rate because they it was not able to auto-negotiate the rate with the station?) and switch to higher ones with other GSM stations.

This is quite bizarre to me. I'm not an ECE. Hehe.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hnegrao:
Yes, that's my problem "voice is actually crippled\distorted" during phone calls.~

IS there a solution?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
Keep up the great work though, hope one of these days Sony finalizes 6.0 ROMs for our phones ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] TechKiel:
Try checking out the Solutions to the Sony Mobile Support threads that M1P linked.

Phy's response "Also, you can try to reinstall Lollipop with Sony PC Companion" was considered as the solution.

In your case, you could also try reflashing the stock firmware through flashtool.

However, as M1P stated:

You might have to try your luck with different firmwares to check to check which one doesn't have the issue. :))

[MENTION=632035]M1P[/MENTION] , what was the last firmware version that you didn't encounter this issue?

What specific version of the Z3C are you using? D5803 / D5833?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hnegrao:
I am on d5803.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] M1P:
Some people reported success with reflashing thru PC Companion, and I encourage you to try so.

As for me, I don't want all this hustle with my Z3C (gaining the root and so on), but on Z1C nor the PC Companion reset and reflash, nor the FlashTool\TWRP reset and reflash made any difference. For now Z1C working fine with last two FW updates (14.6.A.1.236, 14.6.A.0.368)...

So it's up to you, first of all try the PC Companion option with the current version, and then few versions of FW back and forth. Try change the Mic sensitivity, disable Equalizer\ClearAudio\Microphone noise suppression\Speaker voice enhancement, maybe it's just placebo, but few guys reported that it was working for them in different combinations.

23.4.A.1.232 didn't have this issue on my phone (D5803), but I've red so much threads with the same problem on different FW and phone models, and I do think this is some kind of random bug in Modem FW with specific settings of manufacturer of GSM Stations.
