if TWRp is asking you to install supersu, its because its not detecting it on /system, so the flash wasnt successful probably..

Sony logo (kernel splash) last for about 5s before booting the ROM. the fact that is stalled there (again) means the ROM is not booting.

have you done all wipes?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] fazzowicz:
Yes of course.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
i dont have a clue about youv'e done so far or how to the phone..

so start from latest ftf, and install things all over again, following the procedure on 2nd post

Thanks for that awesome rom. I'm not really a fan of benchmarks, but - for the fun of it - I did an antutu benchmark with the result of 48741 pts. If only the annoying fisheye bug will finally be fixed and the random reboots likewise, then there will be no more reason to go back to stock!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] goosebickel:
It won't be to long, jerpelea announced at the android BBQ that we will have working camera hals very soon. :D

Never had any random reboots myself though!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] savo83:
Best z3 roms around. Will be back when fish eye bug resolved
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
Sorry guys, what's this fish eye bug? First result on google search of it, brings here ... :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] goosebickel:
Everything is not quite open source, for this reason, developers had to use camera hals from the z2, which has a slightly different sensor to the z3.

When you take a photo, things get a little distorted! Like a "fisheye".

Take a picture of something straight and you can see for yourself.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
And I'm stuck on my last place on Antutu ... I do really would like to know why. Guys, we have the same rom on the same device, I can't understand my score is so low and [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] and [MENTION=224920]Klaus[/MENTION] are on top .... or maybe it's not so clare to me how Antutu works ... I don't know.

Would it be possible for you to make a new build today, because there are some changes for our device?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
sure. just fired up a build with those kernel commits. one is to fix the alarm/reboot bug and hopefully the other to avoid the spam on the log, thats network related.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
Updated! Thanks boss.

First little issue: I lost mi system profiles....well, no problem, I had a couple simple ones, already created again. Anyway I lost them after reboot

How to fix brightness bug please....?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
which brightness bug?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
I think he is talking about the brightness that doesn't go up to a complete zero.

Pushing it on the extreme left, leaves the brightness quite....bright anyway.

Are we going to see any progress on camera? I love this rom but I don't like how camera preforms.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Klaus N.:
Thank you! Ok, I've asked, because wifi sometimes closes, and then my device restarts. Btw., with your build of yesterday my device reached 48878 pts in antutu :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
your wifi disconnect and the device restarts? can you tell me steps to reproduce it? maybe i can grab a log.

Well, it already happened 3 times - one time a day: At first I recognized, that I've no connection to the internet. Then I've disabled wifi to check, if mobile connection works - but it didn't. Then suddenly the phone rebooted, but after booting no startscreen with pin. Therefore I've restarted my device manually.

You have uploaded CM 13 for Z3 .. is it a working rom or some pre-alpha build?

edit: Will test it nevertheless tonight, but there was no info on this anywhere so.. :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
And I'm going to test it too .... What's suggested? Factory reset before to flash? Or we can flash it straight away?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TapioH:
i shall try without wiping data, then.. trial and error
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
I did it! Without any wipe it doesn't work. Then I turned it off and cleaned cache and dalvik. Rebooted and it doesn't work. Then FactoryReset and BAM!

Next step OpenGapps.

I love you [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] I swear I mean it! Before the official Cyanogenmod, unbelieveable!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] savo83:
Any update on camera bug? Really want to come back to this rom. Thanks

BootLoop on the boot logo
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TapioH:
Im confused, did you get it working or not?

Or bootloop no matter what?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
No, nothing, it doesn't work for me. Wiped everything, then flashed .... bootloop on boot logo, I mean:

it reboots, then installs 85 apps as every time we upgrade, then CID (Cyanogenmod logo, the blue face) again, when it becomes darker (it usually means the system is going to show its desktop) then light again and it never stops this loop.

I'm restored my nandroid for now, waiting for [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] to explain us what to do
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TapioH:
Allright thanks for the heads up. Will wait for Infected aswell.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
via TWRP, make sure /system is mounted, then adb shell to the device, navigate to /system/priv-app/ and delete "com.qualcomm.location"

it should boot ok. if you can grab a log in the process, before deleting, it will come in handy.

Camera Working?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
And it worked!

I don't know how to grab a log, I'll google it.

Anyway, my issues now:

- Trying to install opengapps for 6.0 and at the reboot nothing works. "failed to install service" or something like that. I can read on OpenGapps download link, that "6.0 needs a ROM with a patch to grant the Google Apps the proper permissions", so the question: is this rom patched? (no idea what patch they are talking about...).

- The browser crashes anytime I try to download something.

- SD card is not recognized, the system asks me to format it.

- Can't see any camera app, just gallery.

Please [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] tell me how I can help you giving you more informations is possible.

EDIT: I found this PATCH to be used by a Rom developer in THIS THREAD ... no idea if it's what we need here.

PS. The camera bug is the last of our thoughts at the moment ;)

The camera bug may be the last thing for you but I can assure you it's not for me and many others.

- SystemUI: fix QS quick pull down (118331)

- QuickSettings: Add long click support for all tiles (120339)

- QuickSettings: Improve draggable dual tiles management (122005)

Access to external sdcard is possible now, either on the phone or via PC.

regards.

ps: later today, ill create sabermod cm-13.0 thread for z3.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bigo72:
It works pretty well, thank you.

External SD card is still considered as damaged, anyway (and it's not, your 12.1 accepts it with pleasure)

Installed a camera app, it looks there is a missing driver, so it crashes (it was Camera FV-5, by the way).

OK, not yet an every-day ROM, but [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION], it's impressive how quick you are in development.

Hello, I will explain my problem

I have issue with autobrighness.. When the phone is set in power save mode in a very low light ambient, the autobrighness set the backlight to the minimum level. No matter how you set the slider, backlight will be at the minimum (it's very difficult use the phone, and you have to disable auto brightness or disable power save mode)

Is this common issue?

Is there any way to edit some csc, in order to customize the brightness level? I tried with some third party app, but the ram management close background services

KINDLY READ THIS FIRST POST BEFORE PROCEEDING TO DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IF YOU DISREGARD THIS!!

I'll advise anyone thinking of modifying their phone to first make a backup with SmartPhoneFlashTool (SPFT).

It's the best way to backup and restore your stock ROM (if you want OTA updates ;) ).

You should make this backup before even rooting your phone. If you rooted, then unroot it and make the backup with SPFT.

Link to make a backup with SPFT- https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html

We're good? Sure we're good? Made your backup? Then proceed below to reap the benefits of rooting and custom ROMs.

How to root and recovery Pixi 3 (4) 3G

Yesterday i ported a clockworkmod recovery from the Alcatel Pop D3 to this phone so root is now possible :laugh:.

DISCLAIMER:

Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.

Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.

Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.

Requirements

:

- PC running Windows 7/8/8.1/10

- USB cable

- CTR recovery

Instructions

:

1. Download the attached Kingroot.apk and send it to your phone's storage. If the kingroot.apk does not work for you , try the PC version you may have a better chance of rooting using that. Link here

2. Install kingroot and make sure there is a working internet connection.

3. Click on root and there you go. Root access for Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3(4). :D

4. Or if you already have a custom recovery you can flash Update-SuperSu.zip. :laugh: SuperSu link here

Flashing Recovery

:

1. Download and install Flashify or Rashr from Google Play.

2. Download the attached recovery.img and place on your sdcard( you should rename it the recovery to recovery.img).

3. Flash the recovery.img using Flashify or Rashr and enjoy. :laugh:

Easier root method thanks to [MENTION=5492496]erriezzans[/MENTION]
[Android General] erriezzans:
thanks for the recovery but theres some problem no custpack partition to mount not backup all files and i cant mount emmc.by the way bro ive found twrp that work with pixi 3.everthing works except mount usb storage.i will upload it later.
[Android General] kirito9:
I know that cwm isn't compatible with custpack but some prefer it. I have also ported CTR 3.3 recovery but touch doesn't work. I'll inbox it to you everything works except touch. I will try to fix later :cowboy:
[Android General] erriezzans:
Thanks bro :)
[Android General] PillzP:
Nice work bro. :good:
[Android General] lmgs:
Without having much knowledge of custom recoveries, what are the advantages of doing this? Was looking at installing an open source OS on my Pixi, is this the way to go?
[Android General] sinbad21:
Can't flash CWM. SP Flashtool gives me a message : "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded". But Driver_Windows_MTK_Preloader can't be installed on Windows 10.
[Android General] kirito9:
Advantages are you get to do a full backup of your system and files so you can restore them later if anything goes wrong with your phone. Also custom ROMs ._. Enough said . One disadvantage that you may want to consider though. You void warranty as you root.....and yes this is the way to go . First flash a recovery , backup your phone and try any custom ROM. But mind you, since you don't have much knowledge make sure you know what you are doing and the ROM you are flashing is for your phone. Goodluck
[Android General] kirito9:
Pmt changed for the ROM is an scatter error, nothing to do with the phone. What you should try is creating a new scatter file with mtk droid tools or placing the scattet file in a different location and try it from there .

The driver windows mtk preloader shouldnt be a problem since you are getting an error with sp flash tool means the preloader driver was already installed.
[Android General] erriezzans:
bro,if u have problem with spflash tools(same like mine)then u can try to root ur phone without pc with kingroot/kingoroot app i dont remember which one it confused me :D then u can flash recovery with rashr.it works for me.
[Android General] sinbad21:
Same message, even after creating new scatter file with mtk droid tools. The new scatter file as the same values for recovery :

I think that the scatter file is correct. Don't know what to do.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

My device was already rooted, I've tried rashr, it's fantastic ! It works ! And it is so easy ! Thanks a lot :D And many thanks to kirito9 for the cwm porting.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
KingoRoot does not work for me...DARNIT! Does anything else work to root the 4013X?
[Android General] sinbad21:
[MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] Why did you remove UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip ? At a moment I have lost the root on my device, because CWM6 asks confusing questions when you want to reboot, and I could restore the root by flashing this UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip. Very useful.
[Android General] Rick_Daney:
4013D (with russian)

Hi, friends. I have a device Alcatel One touch 4013D. Under him gathered recovery (TWRP,Carliv). If there are those who do not X the model and D, i is ready to help you... Custom firmware does not have. For great stock firmware from 4013K. The difference between version X from D in the camera, battery and some iron. I used machine translation for which I apologize, because my English is very bad... sincerely, a Russian user (4pda ru) .
[Android General] DracoXXI:
So... what is better? TWR or CWM?

with CWM, can't mount /emmc and /sd-ext.

And how many space i need in SD-Card for Backup? I have around 530mb, but, when i try Backup, i get error in /data.
[Android General] erriezzans:
i prefer ctr since im using it and dont found any error except touch screen but i doesnt matter..i can flash ported rom with ctr but with twrp i cant flash it gives me error i dont know why mybe someone can fix that.

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

since no one port rom or make custom rom for pixi 3 yet.u can use some ported rom from alcatel pop d3 ive tried u just need to change boot.img and some stock files. :)
[Android General] kirito9:
AFAIK I've tried the twrp and it doesn't Mount the sdcard so i would say cwm is better but the ctr is better than the cwm and twrp. I'll post the ctr. The only thing is that the ctr touch doesn't work .
[Android General] kirito9:
Sorry about that i will upload that file . I removed it because it is easier to use kingoroot to root your phone but if you have a custom recovery then you can root using that method.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Finally got it rooted with the KingRoot app. I had to run the root app three times before it finally succeeded in gaining root access!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rascal0pl:
I have a question, because I want to buy this phone.

Is there here something like faux sound/voodoo sound/boeffla sound for OP2? I mean louder audio without distortions (I have good quality hight resistant headphones, and I'm using phone for my main audio player).

And if not, will it be possible i future?

Thanks for response.
