ok very easy. open my AiO zip with 7zip for example, and copy out of it the "bloatware removal" and "updates_extras" zips.

then with prf, make your own pre-rooted fw, selecting as ftf the one you prefer (i guess a Brazilian one specific for d5833), then add supersu and latest dual recovery by nut.

finally, in "extras" field, add latest xposed flashable zip by romracer (if interested in xposed), then my bloatware zip, and finally the updates_extra zip (be sure to follow this order, at least the bloatware zip must be added BEFORE the updates_extras one ;) )

remember to check all check-boxes on the right too (kernel, modem, ltelbel etc etc)

that's all, this way you will get my exact same rom, with Brazilian fw for d5833 ;)

PS. you can also edit my two zips to your wishes before making the pre-rooted fw if you want ;)

users with t-mobile are experiencing data connectivity problems (disconnections etc). that's a known Sony bug with a known workaround. or you are experiencing other problems?

yes stagefright fix can be easily flashed via recovery.

to change band, just type *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, then "phone info" and "change band" via the button in the upper right part of the screen.

thanks mate when i have some time I'll try different setups maybe and see what i get and if i should include some changes in the rom (if allowed to do so of course)

wouldn't know how to help you sorry when taking pictures always use automatic mode and that's all [emoji14]

Hey bro

In the xda thread of 20 mp superior the creator says that using this module will blow your drm function restore possibility.

So be aware using it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] polykoma:
hi all

i want to move back to stock from cyanogenmod.

so i ve choosen this great Rom ! (very nice work!!! )

as i made a TA backup according to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

i can fully go back to stock yay.

one question is left. when do i Need to lock my bootloader?!

i thought about doing all steps from my mentioned link again and lock the bootloader after downgrading to the Firmware where i made the ta backup from.

Need i to Flash downgrade then lock bootloader then Flash same Firmware again.

or just lock it and gain root and restore TA ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pricey2009:
Since lollipop mixer_paths.xml does not actually do that much anymore..

The volume is mostly configured using the .eq and .preset files found in the tfa98xx folder now..

Hi there.

I use this great rom since a few weeks. Nearly everything works perfect, but one thing I can´t fix.

My push messages are gone.

I miss the push messages from my banking app, ebay (!!),...What have I done wrong? Facebook works, what´s app too....:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] polykoma:
i have unlocked my bootloader but did a TA backup.

i want to restore my TA backup and go back to stock ( i mean this modded ROM)

at which step i Need to LOCK my bootloader again ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
strange.. are you using stamina mode maybe? if so, are you sure you whitelisted those apps?

important thing is to don't relock your BL while you are still on custom rom or phone won't boot up anymore.

so now that you are on custom rom, backup your important data first, then just enter your recovery (twrp?) and as first step flash my rom just to be sure it flashes fine in your recovery (you never know..)

if it flashes fine, then make a full wipe (system, cache, data and dalvik) to clean everything and then REFLASH my rom.

reboot and see if everything works.

if so, restore your TA and reboot again ;)

important: be sure to backup all the data you have in your internal sdcard too (don't worry about the ext sdcard content, ext sdcard won't be touched) as touching the TA will sometimes format the internal sd...

and... next time please use the q&a thread for such questions thank you ;)

let me know bye
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
Good to know - but i think the the loudness is still adjusted by the parameters - if i play the same sound on 2 XPerias with different mixer_paths.xml i notice a rise in the loudness exactly as assumed. I additionally asked a colleague of mine if he also hears the difference just to prevent a placebo effect ;) and he confirmed it to me...

Or did i get you wrong and you mean something else... ? -Sry for still beeing a noob -

Cheers

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] maluc:
No I´m not in Stamina mode...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pricey2009:
Oh you can still use mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume somewhat, however to achieve the volume levels we had with kitkat (which everyone always mentions about missing) I have found I needed to edit the eq and preset files as previously stated..

Which, may I add, was quite tricky when I did it, as I nearly blew my speakers testing :)

Regards
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Are the files specific to each phone device or can you upload these with instructions on where to put them so that we can have louder speakers? Mine is pathetically low. My son's $30 crappy Android phone has louder speakers and then my $300 Sony Xperia z3 compact. Quite pathetic really especially with Sony speakers. Lol!

If you can do this and help me with this you would be my absolute hero! My only issue about this phone, and there's really not much that I dislike about it at all besides my headphone jack stopped working 2 weeks ago and the cell phone repair places say that they will not open up a Sony phone because they end up breaking more things than fixing things, is the speaker volume issue. Thx!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pricey2009:
Try my sound mod out (link in my signature) - make a backup first
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
don't know so, i receive push messages for all apps i use and need so maybe not a rom problem?

did you try in 100% stock not debloated and confirmed it works fine there?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I don't see your signature on my phone so I will check on my computer. Are referring to the mod that makes both top and bottom speakers work, I've tried that in a different version of this ROM before we went to Android 5.1 and didn't really make anything louder? If it's different, I'm definitely willing to give it a shot.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes its extremely loud when using Dolby
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
How do I use Dolby? Thx!

Stock contact and dialer app

Hi folx,

after my little research on the mixer_paths.xml i encountered yesterday a bug in the contact/dialer app.

In my google account i created a group called neighbors containing phone numbers of people i don't call that often. If i open the sony standard contact app, this group isn't available and also the desired contact could't be found. If i use another contact/dialer app (f. e. True dialer) i can access all desired information.

I think it is not ROM-related ! but maybe some of you has a glue on how to get all information also available in the stock app... a google search doesn't give me a hint in what direction to search further :(

THX in advance

Rhonin

Hello,

I have a strange problem. The storage/emulated/0 directory contain anoder /0 subdir, and another, like emulated/0/0/0. Each subdirs contain lots of data, and the internal storage run out of space.

Any idea what happened?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
Hey there, i had a similar problem - lot's of /0 folders with old files

Are you using clockworkmod recovery? I happend to solve this problem by swiching from clockworkmod to twrp (both in Dual Recovery).

I made a clean wipe with twrp and flashed with twrp (coming from clockworkmod) and since then no more /0 folders

*thanks again @ moly for that advice back then
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] chichino84:
Hi everybody!

First of all, a big, huge grazie to [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] for the best fw available for our little great phone, so proud to see a doriano making this!

I'm on v2 and having a little odd issue with latest Google Now: I can't set a sound for notifications, it just reset to none every time I quit from settings menu and app's name it's changed from classic "Google" to "Rete" (italian word for network). I currently downgraded to v 4.3.11.88581490.arm which works fine but I would like to try to fix it just updating the app , without flashing the entire v3 fw. Could you guys please tell me which version have you installed? Should I upgrade Google Play Services too?

Thx!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I still don't know how to do the Dolby, unless that's what you activate by default in your mod, but it is a lot louder and I really appreciate your help! :) private message me to discuss further if needed. Thank you

Im using dualrecovery, 2.8.21. Never tried anything else. TWRP cant mount my external sd, so im only use philz recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] framerper2:
Weird, never had any problem with this ROM until, after a reinstalling, my external SD card doesn't mount itself. I still can use it with PowerAmp where I keep all my music, but with the File Explorer I can't see it until I manually eject it and insert again.

Anyone with a similar case? [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks mate glad you like it!! :o

not really sure to understand your problem, btw i have Google services v7.8.99 installed, and velvet (Google search) v5.1.17.19.arm

and here too i see "rete" instead of "Google" but things seem to be working fine though..

instead not using Google now (launcher) here so can't test your issue sorry can't really help.. forza doria! :D

yes that problem happened to me too when used philz recovery. no problems at all with twrp, and my ext sdcard is working flawlessly with twrp! and ext sd is always mounted automatically never had to do that manually..

no sorry, extsd always working perfectly here.. ;)

maybe a backup of its content and a format from settings > storage might help?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] chichino84:
You perfectly get what I meant, that's what I was asking for (Google Search and Play Services versions in your v3 ROM, not Launcher).

Well, I sure can live with older version; maybe I could try by sideloading v5.1.17.19.arm instead of simple apk upgrade from playstore, since this way app would remain as system one instead of becoming a user's one.

Does anybody knows where I can find a .zip of latest Velvet app?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] framerper2:
I found a solution for my problem with the SD Card: stop using Busybox. Unistalled, factory format, and good as new. :D

I cant access XDA forums via my Z3C with this. Getting "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" in stock browser and Opera gives me an some kind of DNS lookup issue. Any ideas?

Edit: Using Andropluskernel 62
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
i would love that!

I have tried this one from @pricey2009 who posted earlier in this Thread but i had little problems with setting SELinux permissive and keeping it set permissive. It has some effective loudness-increase as well as some extra Sound tweaks. As i only listen to Audio-Books via Z3C i have to say that i like the stock Sound Settings more, i just miss some xtra loudness.

But be carefull if SELinux is not set permissive this mod gets REALLY Loud ;)

You should give it a try, several people enjoyed his work :)

An other Option is ViPER4Android which brings some sound tweaks. But i liked Stock Sony Settings more^^

*edit*

hmm i just noticed the Post from @Rhonin86 earlier who also checked some sound tools including the one from pricey2009.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] janolucero:
same problem, tried stock, chrome, and sony next browser and just not working :/

Also p***hub doesnt work. xD

Aniway im using Mother of all adblockin mod, maybe is that?

using the same on pc and the web pages loads without problems :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
that's why i haven't installed any sound mod so far, i

like stock settings would just need some more loudness while on speaker, so will look for a non-too-much intrusive mod that can just increase loudspekaker volume hope there is one :o

don't know what problems you are having guys, can access xda forum without any problems with aosp browser provided in the rom.. yes maybe it is because some module/mod you installed?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] spdrfx:
Try 207.244.72.9 in the browser (xda forum ip address). If its also not work, not DNS problem.

**edit

im a windows user, i dont trust any error message :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Carach_CZ:

Hello.

I'm looking at getting this handset.

I cut my flashing teeth on the old HTC desire and have recently rebuilt my moto RAZR i and downgraded my n7 from 5.1 to 4.4.4.

So I know how to follow instructions even though I wont understand exactly how things are being done.

I followed the instructions for my RAZRi and some how have a failed to root. But i digress.

I know different manufacturers have different processes for flashing.

I'm drawn to this thread because of the All-in-one tags and the fact that sony are legendary for their bloatware.

I just want a clean as possible android that has stable data and camera performance.

Am I in the right thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
think so this is 100% stock just trimmed down as much as possible so camera performances are the best possible right now and system is very very clean. i just added some nice extras... btw everything i removed can be restored and all what i changed can be reverted very easily ;) this is the best solution for me that i like very clean roms considering custom roms aren't really an option right now because of the camera performances ;(

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:

Hi guys, I'm having a strange issue and I don't know if could be fw related:

after following this method to set Selinux to permissive, I almost lost any access to my ext4 16 gb sd card: es explorer doesn't even display sdcard1 path anymore. I can't mount it through rom's settings menu and my phone won't boot into recovery too. Only AirDroid still shows the card and its contents all there. I tried to manually delete init.d folder but it is the same. Do you please have any hint?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Yverson:
correct me if i'm wrong - i guess as last option you can always flash via flashtool in flashmode (the way you rooted once upon a time) and start "from scratch"

i dunno if there is some other way which saves your data
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
mhm you said you had problems with the ext sd not with the recovery? why you can't ever recovery?

btw it you can't really enter recovery, did you try to reinstall dual recovery by nut, this time with the installer with phone connected to pc?

ps. to change SE Linux status there is an app in the play store i think, did you check?

nothing special really i already like as it is right now actually and plus i am still on holidays for another week :o

Really helpful, just did it and everything back to normal, many thanks and sorry for asking something totally ROM-unrelated.

Actually, there's another little problem: when I press "Transfer data to sd card" in Settings>Memory I have a fc. This already happened before today little other issue. It doesn't bother me so much but I would like to know if I do something wrong.

I used that file method because I seem to understand that almost all apps in play store need manual reactivation after a reboot. Do you know an easier and permanent SElinux solution besides terminal emulator method suggested by [MENTION=5428247]Yverson[/MENTION] (btw, thx for suggestion!)

Again, sorry to OT
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
restore /priv-app/SemcStorageChecker ;)

will be re-added in v4 :)

..problem is that with that package back, you then get again boring message about few space in your sd when you're over 75% occupied.. but well surely better that message than a FC in settings [emoji14]

no sorry don't need that so never investigated :o
