Downgrade to kitkat with flahtool then root and dual recovery. Flash Miui and make backup. If you use again lollipop Flash any prerooted lollipop rom and make backup too.

Lollipop based miui not released yet. So we wouldnt have it near future
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
Many languages, it is a regular multi-language rom.

What i did coming from stock LP to get this rom to work was very easy: flashed a kk pre-rooted fw (this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3012378 in particular " D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_Generic_DE-Root-XZDR2.8.1-SuperSU-signed.zip") and then immediately later flashed this miui and everything seems to be working fine ;)

About lollipop base, in miui, android base doesn't really matters.. ui is completely rewritten so you won't notice any differences! Experienced this from jb to kk to lp etc.. no visible differences at all ;)

Plus, kk for this phone has even better battery they say so why you should be so eagerly waiting for lp base?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
Sooo.. first impressions about the rom? :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
I gave this rom a spin on a locked bootloader. First thing a saw was lots of errors, processes not starting properly. Second was that I can't access the network SIM card that is. I am not sure I installed it the right way though. I flashed a prerooted 4.4.4 rom then the miui v7 after that, wiped dalvik and cache.

how is battery life compared to stock rom

would you please share some screenshots about battery life
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
well.. i come from a mi3 with native miui and even on the mi3 i didn't use miui but aosp based roms so you can imagine what i think of miui.. [emoji14] too heavy for me, and not having full xposed support was a too big problem for me. also, on original miui it took ages to fix even more simple bugs, and weekly changelogs were always very disappointing, with ridiculous changes and not considering at all important bugs..

but indeed miui has some very nice features (apps permissions and data control for apps for example).

actually i flashed this just for the sake of testing :o

I've just flashed this but have to say the rom seems stable and didn't find any big phone specific bugs so far. plus it has sony camera and audio enchantments so seems pretty promising (and full drm support too it seems).

but nevertheless think will go back to stock soon for the same reasons i abandoned miui in the mi3 (too heavy, no full gravity box etc ;) )

ps. of course stock is pretty heavy as well, but with my debloated version i feel it pretty good. plus can't use any custom roms with this phone because of bad camera so.. right now i can just choose the smaller devil :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
Since it's a different system I would have wiped everything and do a factory reset. (Just make a backup before!)

Errors in processes

I would like to know the correct method to install MIUI rom since the start sitema has several mistakes, I have done the wipe cache, dalvik and date, but not use at all the errors persist, I appreciate if someone could help me.

ROM MIUI 7 z3c

TWRP, but the problem is that when installing the screen changes and appears several options like kernel, apps, audio options among others, that I would like to know what options mark.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ArcherGT2:
En sí lo de las opciones no es problema, el detalle es que toca hacer factory reset para asegurarse de que todo trabaje bien
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhodesgod:
That installer is called Aroma installer.developers use this to let us to change and choose settings and modes while installing roms.

i installed this rom just now.

first select stock kernel.in fonts u can choose 3 type of fonts.i use the stock and simple font myself.you can select others if you want.(just search the font's name in google to see what they look like)

in sound mods i think first option with sony's original mod will be good.

just wipe and clear catch all in twrp before installing this rom.

=========================================================

i tried this just now.i have to say this is amazing.love it and thanks to op.

smooth,fast,all miui functions in miui 7 ! it's great.

but it has one bug ! in settings > additional setings if you scroll to bottom setting stops or resets ! not a big problem.:D

and i dont know why mi explorer doeant show my sd card ! i installed es file explorer and it's fine now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] diegosantos367:

hi, is miui 8 with android 6 (or the new 7), under development for z3 compact?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] marshalpear:
Love the ROM, despite being stock it's very different than stock! Issue is, it's still on KitKat -_- but the stability is top notch and exclusive apps are fine. I don't like the way it looks though, it reminds me of i****. But still, thank you for your great efforts! Would love to see it on Marshmallow or Lollipop!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rodrigo granemann:
has nav bar ?

Hello , congratulations for the work ...

But let me ask you , she has no nav bar?:good::D:p:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] marshalpear:
If you are flashing the ROM on a MM or LP build you might face that problem, solution is that you need to flash stock KK before flashing the ROM. Also as far as I remember, you could pick the nav-bar on/off option during Aroma installation, not sure though, hope I helped! :)

Microsoft Exchange Account

Hi there,

thanks a lot for this ROM. I love it, especially the slim Version without the Miui Apps. They are just all over the place.

But I´m facing the Problem, that I can´t add a Microsoft Exchange Account without the inbuilt Miui E-Mail app. Is there any Workaround? Can I add the Mail App seperately? By flashing?

Sorry, a lot of questions in one post, but here´s even one more: is it possible to add a Mod for the Sony Stock Camera (HDR on High Resolution in Manual Mode; 12 or even 20 mpx in Superior Auto Mode)?

Thanks a lot in advance, Oli

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
no such errors here. you should of course wipe data as well (full wipe) if coming from stock or anyway any non-miui rom...

too soon mate! rom has just been released how can people already report about battery life? battery need at least a couple of full cycles before making any compares...omg
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
I last used Miui on my htc desire some years ago - used it until I discovered SLIMroms, so I perfectly understand your pov. It's just that Miui is so beautiful! Cheers for reporting back!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
Trying that now, wiping everything except SD and Internal storage, then flashing the 4.4.4 rom [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] linked than miui before rebooting into system and lets see if that works better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
that exactly what i did, should be working fine that way ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
Yeah, now I got the whole first boot setup thing. I really hope it's stable and smooth. I loved my MI3W but it's too big to carry around in the pocket. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
lol same reason why i changed phone.. plus i missed dt2w, virtual buttons etc.. this phone instead seems to have everything i missed in mi3! :o will see if will use miui again for some time or will go back to stock soon.. I'm pretty flashaholic :D

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

@greatslon thanks first of all I'm trying your rom right now seems pretty good :o

can i please ask you what you mean exactly with "build.prop tweaks" and "Patched hosts"?

TIA ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
Rom feels almost flawless but sadly I found one thing, titaniumbackup can't detect root. Something I missed or just a common old bug? :)

Edit: It seems nothing has access to su. I know I saw it install though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
re-flash supersu to get the pop-up message when opening an app that need root permissions. or open security app > permissions > root access and enable root for the apps you opened and failed to get root access ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
haha was just about to update my post that I got it working by reflashing SuperSU from chainfire's website haha well off to bed I think. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
settings > display & text size = FC here.. what about you guys?

edit: in lpws521's rom instead both menus are working fine.. and in general his version seems more stable to me (also NDR utils app for example that gets installed by nut dual recovery v. 2.8.21 starts fine in lpws rom while FC in greatslon one)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Buns27:
is the lpw rom in English? Had a hard enough time navigating to the download page haha, don't want to get stuck unable to install

EDIT: I see now it's multi language. Going to give that one a go at your recommendation

EDIT2: Most of the rom was still in chinese (even when set to english), and soo many bugs in the UI and network... installing gapps was nearly impossible. Performance was also terrible on my phone. Hopefully greatslon's rom is better but I'm done with miui for a while.

EDIT3: decided to give greatslon's rom a try after all, and oh my god is it better than the lpw one. I'm experiencing no bugs at all. If you're wondering which rom to use, DEFINITELY this one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
That works for me, but trying to set bluetooth unlock FC's on my installation. I am still using [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION]'s rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] master':
Same problem, bluetooth unlock fc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
no problems here, lpws more stable for me :)

no Chinese (apart for some apps that you can remove very easily yourself!), gapps installed flawlessly (minimal gapps for kk from the forum) and no problems at all ;)

btw I'm already back to stock for now :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
You did a clean install again of lpws or dirty flash from greatslon? :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
clean install ;) (data-cache-dalvik, didn't wipe system as it is formatted automatically by the rom during flashing)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
I must be blind, but I can't find a download for ipws rom without signing up to their forum which requires ID / Passport verification.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] apollus:
One thing I wanted to mention about v6, and i'm curious to known if this has been fixed in v7 is that for me, there is absolutely no shutter sound when using the camera to take pictures... When you snap, it doesn't make any sound. << a bit annoying imo

Can anyone confirm if this has been fixed in v7?

I've yet to install this build on my Z3C
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Carach_CZ:
Anyone knows where to dwonload Google Play (GApps) for this? It seems it missing in Greatslon's MIUI v7.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
When I installed [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION]'s MIUI V7 clean I had gapps installed. It was missing from ipws rom though. And it seems NFC isn't working yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
yes in greatslon rom gapps are included
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
I wish there would be a NFC fix soon. I don't use it that often, but from time to time for checking my transit card balance...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kik0o:
Can you disable the damn clock, chinese weather and music in notification shade?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
apps permissions are working for you guys? i m back to stock now, but before removing miui i could see that permissions control for apps was enabled, but starting apps for the first time i wasn't asked to grant them permissions, and they could automatically get all permissions they wanted (location etc)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Buns27:
it was definitely working for me when I was using it. Asking permission for just about everything.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks mate will maybe try it again later on..! [emoji14]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sparksys:
Who has the Navigation bar buttons replaced? It's inverted

Back button is now on the right side and the recent apps button Is now on the left.. Help
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] master':
Settings/additional settings/buttons/custom key positions
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
btw in camera app here the back/recents buttons are always inverted respect to what I have outside camera.. very frustrating!

ps. i tested again both lpws and greatslon roms, and no way to get permissions to work properly. all apps get the permissions they want automatically, without asking anything :(

strange because first time i tried I'm pretty sure i used to get the permissions warnings, now i really don't know why it doesn't work anymore...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Superbia:
I'm running lpws rom and I get permission popups all the time but I'm thinking of restoring my recovery backup back to stock with root because nfc doesn't work and bluetooth is being childish at best.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Stanley Richards:
is there any way to get rid of that ugly solid color for the folders and status bars? it's 2015, i'm pretty sure even miui5 had transparent folders. i've tried numerous themes and none of them had transparency.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Zwulf:
Any chance at all to download this ROM without being Chinese and owning a Chinese id card or whatever this registration form wants to know...? Google translator is a mess for Chinese... A direct download link would be great... Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Finally found it. Because no one has done before... for those searching a download link, have a look here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] StefanGA:
this is running pretty stable - solemnly bluetooth quirks similar to v6 still seem to be present:

most fundamental issue is with my built in car kit - it connects and authorizes fine. First call I make after connecting, the other party will not hear me, no matter what I do. If I hang up and redial it works just fine. All following calls will work fine.

second cosmetic issue, bluetooth-car-kit shows the GSM operator as its IMEI Operator code not as it's name . e.g. 26201 instead of T-Mobile.de. On the phone the operator name is shown correctly.

maybe you can take a look.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sparksys:
Who else found that this ROM got a incredibly great battery life?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
Incredibly great compared to other custom roms or even compared to stock kk?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sparksys:
Didn't try Stock KK

But I tried Stock LP

And this one is much better than Stock LP..Don't know how will Stock KK perform though
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] apollus:
Yeah, I agree, the battery life on this version is better than v6 as well.

It does seem to have more bugs than v6 though (especially graphical stuff)

I wonder if he'll release one with the most recent MIUI 7 build (5.9.4) -- released on September 1st
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] lawonga:
Anyone tried flashing this on top of a kit Kat CM mod? (Wiping of course)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
I'm waiting for that one too, battery life seems to be even better on that release.. (according to the changelog). [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION], not asking for any dates, but do you even plan on updating this build? If not, I have no reason to wait for the update and might flash right away. :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] chikrron:
Waiting too :) [MENTION=4273212]greatslon[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
This is running very good,battery life is even better then what I'm used to and that was terrific. Still trying to figure out where certain features/settings are located vs stock but that almost makes it a bit more fun/interesting to use.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
Can somebody try the GPS and bluetooth? Are those 2 working well?

Thanks in advance.

Connected to my car bluetooth and used Google Maps this morning on my commute.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
ok, I think I've asked enough questions - time to test it myself, so if you have any questions just shoot :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
So, I flashed it yday evening, so far I'm loving it. Some things I've noticed/need to sort out:

The good:

- No FC (even in menus/apps that are mentioned in this thread)

- Battery consumption, too early to evaluate, but just as a reference point, over night with wifi switched off stock kk used to use 2-3%, with MIUI it also used 2-3%.

- Themes seem to be working

- double tap to sleep (on the navbar) and double tap to wake both work

The question marks:

- notifications don't work, or rather, I get the notification/alert only when I switch the screen on, even if in reality I received the message minutes earlier. -> had to add some apps as "allowed" in the autostart menu, now it works.

- can't install any xposed/wsm tools modules, I can download them but then I don't get any install prompt -> so far I only managed to install the volume/track skip module

- edit the weather location for the status bar, ideally I take that out completely, don't need the weather up there.

- when changing a font it doesn't change it on a system-level, when using the browser and the keyboard I still get the old font

- how can I add a step to the volume modes? I'd like to go from normal (sound+vibration) to silent+vibration to completely silent (no vibration)

- How can I change the music player that is shown in the status bar? In old versions (talking about 4 years ago) I could select the standard app for music, messaging, etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhodesgod:
Used this rom for couple of days.i'ts smooth with great battery life ! ( love it )

But has some graphical issues

- in lock screen the Wallpaper is seprated from navigation bar.

- in settings > Additional settings, privacy has no icon !

- some widgets don't work ! they can be added to home screen but don't work.

- in camera some parts don't work such as Timeshift burst.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] master':
1 Settings/lockscreen/prevent pocket dials off

2 this original theme bug

3 which widgets?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
- whatsapp can't receive/send messages on 3g/lte, I already checked the data usage restrictions and it's all green there... could somebody else test it pretty please?

- sometimes the time zone just changes randomly after rebooting

Since many might wonder about the battery: it's great even compared to stock/debloated kk. You can even use something similar to the ultra stamina mode, called power nap, which is a normal xposed module that works also on miui. Last night I used it and only allowed greenify to run in the background: in 8 hours the battery lost 0% (zero). Of course, you might argue that by switching off everything it won't consume anything, but well, 0% is pretty impressive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhodesgod:
Notes widget for example.

another bug :

if you add a timer in click nothing shows in status bar or notification center.

i didn't try alarm or stopwatch maybe they are buggy too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] master':
Security/permission/autostart add whatsapp

If you use powernap, add whatsapp in endurance mod-apps active standby.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
I tried that but it doesn't change. Whatsapp works on Wi-Fi but not 3g. :( I even gave it all permissions.

Edit: the APN was set up incorrectly it's working now!
