[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
hi guys, I see there are still no threads for FirefoxOS that has been just released by FXP for our device too (z3c) so I'm creating one :o

this thread just to discuss about it!

INFO: http://fxpblog.co/2015/09/26/firefox-os-releases-by-fxp.html

DOWNLOADS: http://fxpblog.co/firefox/nightly/

INSTALLATION:

- You must have a UNLOCKED BL

- Extract all system images from the ARIES zip you downloaded

- Connect phone to PC in fastboot mode and then:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot reboot

downloading the zip for aries right now! will see how it goes :)

in the meantime, I have already some questions I would like to reply myself after testing the new OS or if somebody already knows the answers, please let me know! ;)

1. rootable? DON'T THINK SO

2. recovery can be installed or to go back to stock will have to flash FTF via flashtool? SEEMS NO RECOVERY AT ALL?!

3. camera present/working? if so, without fish eye bug? CAMERA NOT WORKING AT ALL

4. gapps are needed? in firefox OS there is no Play Store right? NO GAPS, THERE IS MOZILLA MARKETPLACE WITH FEW STUFF STILL OF COURSE

Please contribute guys in answering all the above questions! :o

THANKS

All credits to Mozilla and FXP ( [MENTION=6270042]freexperia[/MENTION] ) teams of course!

- no extsd support (where I have all my stuff!)

the good:

- seems very nice and promising

- app ops

- nice animations

will keep updating! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] martin.liversidge:
Really interested to try this once it's fully functional. Thanks for the heads up!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Unlocked bootloader for sure, since you must flash boot.img :D

Our device is ARIES, if someone doesn't know yet ;)

Testing today...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
me too :D just unlocked the BL! :p

EDIT: just booted inside FirefoxOS for my first time :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
things I noticed so far:

see OP :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
First impressions:

-only English language.. mmmhhh.. and the keyboard is only in english :rolleyes:

-you can import your contacts also from gmail... ok.. that's good

-there's a tutorial at the beginning that explains how it works :victory:

-camera just doesn't work (the camera is in use by another app) !!??!!

-some popular apps ready to install... ok, fine!

-to take screenshots you have to press home+power... but I can't get it :crying:

-settings menu is like a hybrid between android and ios :D

-all the gestures work properly and are different from android, but they're friendly :good:

-the phone is getting very hot now

-arrrgghhh.... force close... the phone rebooted automatically :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
yes for sure not ready for daily driver, but seems very nice :)

for screenshots I just used android normal gesture ;) (power + vol down)

no recovery right? will have to flash FTF to go back to stock?

phone is not hot at all here so far :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] reaper61616:
Problem with camera is in HAL. Logcat... logcat. ;)

In AOSP builds there is no camera, this is the cause.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mousse04:
Seems problem has been solved. Waiting for new build from fxp team then ;)

xperia z3c fxos

right now the bug for the camera on the lollipop build is being worked on, as far as i can find in our bug reports the kk build camera should be working or it would be under QA-blocker. Also for some of the problems you are having such as only english when building make sure to put PRODUCTION=1 it will make it so it flashes all of the languages, that just has to do with not setting the right build variables.

Fxos-QA contributor rep

Sorry i would give you links but i am a new user on this site so i cant...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
not sure to understand correctly, you mean there is a firefoxos version based on kk for z3c with working camera? where?

because it seems I can find only the lp build in fxp site... thanks! :silly:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jamie_fxos:
i just double checked with of the devs, The aires device, you can build the kk version which does have a working camera, you just have to compile it yourself. The lp build currently available on task cluster does not have the working camera, in all honesty the lp kernal version is not fully complete yet, right now the camera is one of those parts that are not fully complete. if you want to take a look the bug number is 1163557 you have to go to bugzilla.mozilla.org it might help explain the situation. right now lp is experimental.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
thanks mate, will do! and thanks also for the info, it is nice someone from firefoxos project directly is looking around here and share info with us! :)

unfortunately i'm not skilled enough for building myself, so can just wait for fxp team to build them for us.

afaik devs are working on updated/fixed camera blobs for lp as we speak, so we could have a decent camera available for aosp soon, in that case hope it will land in firefox os too

really looking forward for a usable build of firefoxos for our device, it seems a very nice project... i like firefox, i like opensource, i don't like google at all recently... so hope to find in fxos soon a great alternative! :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jamie_fxos:
come end of next week i might be able to get you a kk build, i cant say for 100% due to moz is giving me mine next week. If it comes with a KK kernal on it i can see if I can make you one, i dont think it is under nda for the blobs for kk, im not sure 100% though. i just know for the flame device im not allowed to give out builds that have not gone through approval from t2mobile as distributable.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rabimba:
Yes. rootable.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
thanks mate you rock! :o:)

will see so, btw no need to hurry for me, as I am taking my z3c to assitance today or tomorrow (broken magnetic port :crying: ) and dunno when I'll see it again... :silly::(:p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jamie_fxos:
By the time you get it back i hope that i will already have a working build for you.

Also people, if the base image you are using is gotten from mozilla its a 99% chance its rooted, they are left unlocked for testing and development reasons, the only time they are locked usually is when you are getting them from the phone manufacturer also know as a production build, which we do not make.

Mozilla rep

Firefox OS QA

Jamie Charlton
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jamie_fxos:
Okay i have looked into it, the only way i can make you a base image is if it is blib free so you would have to get the blobs from Sony. The blobs are currently under nda so there is no way i can share them without getting in trouble. The only way it seems you could get the kk build with a working camera is if you flash back to android and then get the blobs from the device and then from there you would have to add them to the blob free base image.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] WieserZ1C:
The project got already discontinued by Mozilla because the not given chance to get close to Android, iOS or WIP

Maybe with a hardboot kernel it could be saved as a stable, second OS with Multirom...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jamie_fxos:
Okay so i am gonna give a quick update, as of right now it is no longer Firefox os, it is now B2G. Mozilla has dropped support of the os and the community has taken over, as of right now moz stripped all of their proprietary code out of the os which left very few of our apps working now. Right now the only working apps are the dialer, browser, settings and settings, right now we are in the process of either converting the apps or building new ones that are 100% html5 instead of mozapp based. I have not heard when we plan to have the first full build with the new transition. If anyone is interested in working on the project feel free to, right now would be a great time as we need devs and there is plenty to work on. Also just to make sure it is clear B2G IS NO LONGER MOZ, it is now a community project. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

It seems that there is something wrong with the .CAB because it didn't work for me either. But I have a solution :). Unzip the .zip that I have attached anywhere on your device and run it. I hope that this will help.
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:

Hello fellow XDA Developers

The inventor of the TouchOne keyboard, Simon Hu just recently wrote an article on "Why smartwatches today need a dedicated keyboard design" on medium.com. Voice Control input is only a part time solution to a full time problem.

What do think about the attempted text input solutions on smartwatches.? Is there definitely a need for a dedicated smartwatch keyboard design?

[Sony Xperia ZR] axel007:
Thanks for the great work. Everything seems to work except Bluetooth. The device switches on Bluetooth but does not discover any nearby devices. This problem also occurs in Safe Mode. Can you think of a reason why this might be?

Also, a minor issue: the device's model number is given as C6603....
[Sony Xperia ZR] uncomment:
- In normal mode, bluetooth connected with another devices. I think in safe mode not working for security

- If you dont like your device name is C6603, rename it to C5503:

open build.prop in system/ and edit all string "C66" by "C55" and "Xperia Z" by " Xperia ZR"
[Sony Xperia ZR] axel007:
BT issues

I performed a factory reset and the very first thing I tried after that is bluetooth. No luck - still not working. It switches on, scans for devices but doesn't find any.

Before I decided on the factory reset, it detected my laptop for a few seconds when I rebooted the laptop, but then lost it again. It never detected my bluetooth headsets. Googling around, it seems that 5.1.1 is causing BT trouble on various devices. Also, by the way, Safe Mode does not disable BT. Trying in safe mode is a regular trouble shooting procedure for BT issues.

I don't care about the device name, just thought I should mention it.

A bigger problem is the absence of the Xperia diagnostic tool that usually is accessible from Settings/About Phone. It's not there. I downloaded the "light" version from the Playstore but this crashes every time I start it up.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Whoah, wait a moment! I just switched one of my headsets to pairing mode, then switched the BT on the phone off and on and off and on like crazy, then waited (with BT on) and suddenly it detected the headset and paired. Weird. ADDITIONAL COMMENT NEXT DAY: no further BT issues. I have been able to pair another headset and a bunch of Trackr Bravo trackers. So I can confirm that all major functions on this phone work and the ROM is very nice indeed.

I'll report further if I find out anything else.
[Sony Xperia ZR] axel007:
Thanks.

uncomment and Rajeev, thanks very much for making this available for the ZR. This is so nice. I came from a 4.2.2 on a DoCoMo branded Xperia A. The improvements in 5.1.1 are enormous. This phone's life expectancy just increased by at least a year.

Great job!!

Hi,

Just got a new Tab S 10.5 and planning to convert the tablet into a laplet. I will use the tablet mainly for web surfing, emailing, taking notes on bamboo paper, and youtubing. I am thinking to get the Samsung keyboard and Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse T630 or this stylus. My question is which of these devices will provide a better pointing experience. or just use my finger?

I am open to other suggestions on keyboard and mouse. Please comment.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Brittany_Menton:
A mouse will always be better on the screen if you intend to use it productively, unless you are drawing instead then obviously you will need a stylus.

I hooked up a mouse to my tablet and it made a huge difference. It allows me to use the screen without getting smudges on it.
