*** WE HAVE A CAMERA!! *** CyanogenMod CM13 (Unofficial) for the Xperia Z3 Compact ​

​

Ok, have a pretty stable build of CM13 for our beloved Z3C.... This is a work-in-progress, so don't expect stock-like stability.

Have one BIG issue currently - NO CAMERA.

This is being actively worked on, but proving tricky... rather than post unstable builds with flaky camera framework, I have opted for stable builds with no camera until it's working well....

We have a camera now.... Need a couple of volunteers to test... The new build is uploading now, and is NOT available on the download link below - I will post the link once the upload is complete....

No real need to tell you about CM features as most of you will be familiar with CM and ROM's based on CM.

Note: Root is disabled by default - you will need to activate Developer Settings (7 taps on the Build Version in the About Phone menu).

Known issues:

Errr, lack of a camera (note that downloading a camera app from Play Store would only be of use of you need to waste some time... hehe!)​

Camera!

External sdcard - using your card from a previous android version *may" give you a notification that it is corrupted - IT'S NOT, it will still be ok and accessible from your previous ROM. If you want to use it on Marshmallow, it will need to be formatted. :-(

External storage is NOT mounted as "sdcard1", and is not natively writeable... This is being worked on.

External SDCARD fixed!!
​

DOWNLOAD! (will be uploading updated builds every few days - until the official CM nightlies start rolling out....)

To Install:

1. - BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM (on internal storage preferably)

I will NOT be handing out tissues to wipe away tears if you do something silly...

if you are not sure, then don't!

2. - Factory Reset from the Wipe menu in TWRP

3. - Flash the ROM.

IMPORTANT!!! If you want to use Gapps, you MUST flash it straight after flashing the ROM. Do not reboot, then decide you want to flash gapps.

You have been warned.

Have fun!!!

Thanks [MENTION=3903113]nelvinchi[/MENTION] for early build.Looking forward to test it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] broduderson:
Any movement on getting camera working? Super curious to try this ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Unfortunately not....

We do have a group of quality devs actively working on AOSP for Xperia devices though, so hang in there.... :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
new camera firmware uploaded to aosp

can we expect cm13 soon?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Where did you find this? Can you post a link....?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
sry no link

Ive got an email from sony where it says basic functionality is now working - so no proprietary sony things

and that it was uploaded right now to aosp

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
That is old news....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Old news? On the Sony Developer World Mobile site? Surely not, as the Latest Updates page says....

"Latest updates:

On this page you find the latest updates to our AOSP projects. We will

continously

add news, so stay tuned!"

:eek: ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Raymen03:
there is already something new about the camera in your rom
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
The article he linked, it's something dated 18th November ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Yeah, the article is from November 2015, but the link is from the monthly "update" email from Sony which is dated January 2016... Like I said earlier... "Continuously updated"! ;)

"great"

If you had no problem with a pincusion distorted image that looks like you used all instagram filters combined, then it is working really great. :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ML_Outlaw:
what is instagram ? :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] qubbey:
Instagram is a social network for sharing photos and videos. An important feature of the sharing is to apply filters to make the images look "special".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ML_Outlaw:
you took me too serious .... not using this "social stuff"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] poobucket:
Are these builds still being maintained up to date? Or is the one from 2015 12 the last one made?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BetaLyte:
Unfortunately, they seem not to be maintained any longer. If you want a AOSP / CM based ROM, you could check out Paranoid Android, who just started pushing out builds again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] House3272:
Is it just me, or is this page totally empty?

http://get.aospa.co/official/aries

Anywhere else we can go to download PA6?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] poobucket:
They released a candidate but there was so many bugs they took it down few weeks ago. I tried it and had a lot of problems with it recognizing my sim card, wifi network, and other issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BetaLyte:
Yeah, as poobucket said, they took it down again, because of too many bugs in the build. But they're working on it I guess, so we'll have to wait and see.

But:

I just flashed a (Sony-)stock-based ROM, SLiMM 2.0, and I gotta admit; it's not that bad. It's actually quite good! Nice performance, excellent battery life. And I just love having a great camera! And with Xposed and modules like GravityBox, I can emulate pretty much everything I need in a ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] House3272:
Oh?

Does it have privacy guard or is there something equivalent?

That's one of the main reasons I'm still using RR.

I do miss having a non-shiet camera :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BetaLyte:
That's built-in in Marshmallow. The first time an app needs to use a permission, it prompts you and you decide whether to allow access to that resource or not. And you can of course edit that afterwards.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] diegosantos367:
someone who has installed had problems with the sd card? My stopped working, I think the rom crashed it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Charles-HK:
Excuse me,where is the "Last Updated" download link?:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BetaLyte:
Here (from OP): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=46098

But note that this ROM is unmaintained. I can recommend SLiMM ROM, which is a stock-based ROM, so you get all the great camera functionality and stuff.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] LokLakk:
Hi there,

Is anyone using this ROM ? If so is there any major bugs that makes it unusable or is it OK to use ?

Any news on nightly builds ?

Regards,
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Anthony25:
Hi,

I would highly suggest to use the Paranoid ROM: http://get.aospa.co/official/aries

Better battery usage, less buggy (no random reboot for example), a more up2date android 6.0 (and it seems to be better maintained). The only drawback I find is the lack of some little features that bring CM13, and it feels to be closer from AOSP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ML_Outlaw:
the current build fails to install with

This build is for Aries, Device is ""
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Anthony25:
Hum, you have to change the install script in order to look for the "z3c" device instead of "aries". Go to the AOSPA thread if you have more questions ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ML_Outlaw:
I looked at the script, but wasn't sure what to change.

will give it another try
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] unknown12344:
I got the same error: build is for aries, this is an z3c device...

You can use 7zip Filemanager and open pa_aries-6.0.2-20160731-signed.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script. Mouse right click and edit. Exchange "aries" with "z3c" und safe it.

Works fine for me but I miss LED-Options in Paranoid Android, also camera is very bad and shows erros with "connection failure" or something like that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Asif187:
Is ARIES for xperia z3????
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Asif187:
That doesn't work for some reason.

I tried and it said "this is for Leo. This is z3"

THANK YOU!

hey just want to say thank you that one takes care of some CM love for our beloved z3c .... i bought this phone some time ago and thought of getting CM13 quickly. I didnt know about all these Camera *hit problems. today i saw even xperia m got official cm13 builds. its a shame for sony and all its devs that their last year flagship phone dont even has a 'acceptable' camera - im not speaking of good - on some AOSP / cM builds... i mean c'mon even Samsung which is considered developer unfriendly dont bugs me with the problem of loosing camera quality only bcuz i want some OS i can work with.- the thing is even that the camera on many sammy models works great like out of the box..... i allways liked sony but in this way i will neva-eva buy one again.

[MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] why the f+-k isnt a multi milllion worldwide company able to provide the easiest stuff like a working camera? i would understand that on a no-name chinese company, but, sony? c'mon if i would have something to say i would tell the mobile devision to fix it up in 4-6 weeks else we throw out that **** at all and take just some camera module which is working no matter if its little older or not the newest - at least we have one & are not talking like half year about 'helping devs' & source news. i think now its all lies or all the ppl at sony are n00bs. stop talking, deliver! we see that news like every year and every year same sh#t with these sony phones.

[MENTION=3903113]nelvinchi[/MENTION] thank you for your efforts probably most other ppl just give up on sony. i would ask if you have made a new build if you can please upload it even if the camera is non working.

peace.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Hey chief!

Since you asked so nicely, here's an updated build:

https://mega.nz/#!1FQFkY4Y!AmPTAZhQnALQl-TiGwRuyhE-9wQmp2yyfG64byNtiGM

Still no camera though... :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
We have a camera now.... Need a couple of volunteers to test... The new build is uploading now, and is NOT available on the download link below - I will post the link once the upload is complete....

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] adz63:
May be a silly question. But if the camera works. Would the Sony camera app still work with the background defocus. (not used cm on any device before)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] leonardobg7:
Hey buddy, can you send me the link for me to test?

So would be awesome to get your build :victory:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] H0lmEd:
+1, can't you just post the link? I would love to test it anyway :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] leonardobg7:
I tested the CM13 day 19/02 but still has some bugs to the camera:

* - Problems with autofocus

* - Speed of slow shutter and slow.

* - Photos many darkened.

* - Dark display to visualize the camera.

But congratulations for the work. It's a great start.

There are still some other bugs like:

* - View Matching of Miniature in out gallery

* - Small aliasing occasionally.

Other than that, I tested the ROM before the crash while I was in the gallery is PERFECT. In a way, it's stable, fast. Just need to solve the camera and those little bugs.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS the work. I will be happy to test future releases.

Thank you.

Edit:

Link is up......... https://mega.nz/#!0MIBRSDJ!HaGIOaqix8f8Y2Px-9iQyb0RGOTHHzKS4TU1ZK-2bW0

** NOTE - THIS IS A BETA BUILD, AND NOT FULLY TESTED **

**

MAKE SURE YOU DO A FULL BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING

**

** The risk is yours... if you're not sure, don't!! **
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Nummer35:
whats the best way to update the rolling release?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
If you are running the cm13.0-20160219 release you can install it without wiping....

Any older cm13 release, or other ROM, you will need to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.

BACKUP FIRST!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Fictional Reality:
i'm running your release from the OP, which is 13.0-20151223. Do i still need to wipe?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] adz63:
Thanks for the link nelvinchi.

Can I use twrp recovery with this ?

How can I make the # disappear from the bar?

First time with cm

Also the brightness goes on full blast when I have it all the way down and all adaptive brightness etc turned off
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Fictional Reality:
i couldn't get data on this build. I tried everything ...deleting apn & putting in manually, restoring, rebooting etc..

Full wipe install then install gapps before rebooting. Takes 5 mins max to load up
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ddd700:
Same here, no mobile data, no matter what I do. APN settings are showing as correct ones. I tried also roaming, since this has helped me sometimes with previous CM versions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] artilherio:
I did factory reset and wiped cache partition later I installed rom then gapps and rebooted system but anyway when then phone starts,screen divided 2 parts, left side was full black and other side blinked with orange and I have never seen both cm logo and sony logo,just the screen blinked. I want to use this rom but I encounter with problem all the time:(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Did you wipe system? Need to wipe cache, dalvik, data and system.... :)

Which ROM are you currently on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] dinnerdo:
im using it since yesterday as well, for me bluetooth dont works, the camera cant focus, no mobile data, and the Audio output via music Player dont work everytime.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
All.... I'll have a look at the mobile data issue...

** Everybody who has flashed the ROM **

Please report:

If mobile data is working/not working.

If you can make voice calls

If Wi-Fi is working and stable

Does Bluetooth work

Does NFC work

Which country you in.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] artilherio:
Honestly,I didnt format system :D now I am gonna try.I am using 4.4.4 and used 5.1.1.Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Nothing has changed some result.Firstly.I did factory reset then wiped dalvik system cache and data I installed rom and gapps but no screen :( again I am flashing 4.4.4 with flashtool
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ElakNovAlamak:
I have issue with bluetooth. It seems to turn on correctly, although i cannot connect it to anything.

I have tried both this and ResurrectionRemix, both latest from today and both have same issue. Before rom install I formatted everything exept ext sdcard on TWRP 3 recovery.

I even tried without any gapps, still the same.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] artilherio:
I suspected about old bootlader too.Not only cm13 and resurrection remix but also aosp 5.1 gave me screen error.How can I solve this problem ? Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] lujaberdo:
i have no option to switch ON NFC in resurrection and in that CM, it appears in dark and it doesn´t respond when i try to select.

it was installed with twrp 3.0 with full wipes; the first time i tried it seems not to reboot crrectly, then, i flash boot image from bootloader and it reboot without any problem after 4 minutes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Raphos:
Hi,

Time does not permit me to install the last build...

With the cm-13.0-20151223 mobile data, voice calls, Wi-Fi are working. Bluetooth and NFC not tested.

Location, France / provider, Orange.

My question is why with the new build, some features wouldn't work anymore ?

I will wait users reports before installing the new rom.
