[IMG="Android Marshmallow 6.0"]https://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1454362/android-6-0-marshmallow.png[/IMG]

Android Marshmallow 6.0 is out for the whole Z5 family and has awesome new features like custom app icons and app permissions.

Edit: Seems like the Marshmallow update is out is a couple of countries so it should hit us pretty soon! http://www.androidauthority.com/sony-xperia-z5-global-marshmallow-update-678243/ Or http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/07/global-xperia-z5-series-now-receiving-android-marshmallow-32-1-a-1-163/

2nd edit: You can download the marshmallow update with the flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

And if you need a guide on how to flash Xperia devices with the flashtool just take a look here for a nice video tutorial. http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

3rd Edit: For the people that dont have the icon packs installed, with this link https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6oYDQQEaRfVMEtBa2NkdjFVTW8&usp=sharing&tid=0B6oYDQQEaRfVSjFMRzBKX3F4T2M

you can install the 4 basic packs and a S6 icon pack. Install just like any apk and turn on unkown sources.

And here you can download the Xperia X icons for the z5 fam http://xdaforums.com/z5-premium/general/xperia-x-icon-pack-root-t3331275

Hmm... Everything I read today was pointing towards the middle of next month. Fingers crossed.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DionKS:
I bet it's fake I can say too the worlds gonna end sometime and It'll happend sometime and then im the next god because I predicted the future, I'll believe it when a trusted source gonna say that it'll be released
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
I hope its trusted source, looking forward to it happening this week :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
That site was accurate to forecast Lollipop 5.0.2 release on Z3, last time it said LP is going to roll out just after a week it became the reality. BTW, we should get it sometime around early Feb to mid Feb, no reason to wait March, if yes how about wait Z6? lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DionKS:
Only thing that I can do hoping that its true
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] e2zippo:
Can't wait long enough, my lollipop is borked, laggy and slow! Here's to hoping!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mickliq:
+1!!!!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
lollipop runs oke here but i cant wait for the nice app permission settings from marshmallow.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zakiwashi:
Marshmallow, like lollipop, can f@#k off. Give me back 4.4 any day. Surely everyone must agree that the notifications/quick settings drawer is a step backwards. Why the hell do i need to swipe down twice to get to quick settings?

Also i cant stand everything with a white background, and considering the z5 compact auto brightness is broken out of the box just compounds the issue. Thank the devs, that that root and drm restore is apparently sorted so folks can do wtf they want with their own device because sony cant seem to make a decent job of it. Grrrr
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fargo_Zoidberg:
But Material Design! But DuARTe!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ghaskamin:
Don't you know about the two finger trick? Use one finger for notifications, two for quick settings. Made my life a lot easier when I learnt about that trick!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Also you can just double Tap and drag down on the second Tap

Sent from my E5823
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Or you can swipe down once and then tap. Which is basically the same as on kitkat
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Radeon1337:
Or you install Nova and have it come all the way down in one single swipe anywhere on the screen :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zakiwashi:
Two finger trick? That would imply that i need to then use two hands to operate a phone i bought specifically for its small dimensions so i could do it with one. I have nova pro and it still does not override the double swipe to fully open the quick settings. In fact, when i first unlock the screen using the biometric sensor, I need to swipe down, then up and then down again to access the WiFi icon, as the quick settings only opens half way, WTF? And whats with the fat finger massive icons? I can fit all five of the icons I need in one row, yet there they are all over my screen.... I could go on!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fargo_Zoidberg:
Lol. Do you even know how to android?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zakiwashi:
All of that is secondary. I would put up with it all if I could only hide the navigation bar and have my pie controls back.....I want my PIE!

I know it wont happen but i would love to see RAW support from sony on that camera api 2.0

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Vivimagic:
Good tip off. Definitely have more settings available than the Z5 Compact Timeshift Video.

Just read this on GSM http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_uk_xpe...mallow_update_starting_march_7-news-16667.php might be an intrest of this forum.

Honestly, why do you even care to post this? It doesn't help anyone here. Please stay on topic
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] stiffmeister75:
it was an answer of post #187.

Same here, got a 5X when it was on sale. I had previously tried out the 6P but it was just too big. I still have the Z5C, I plan on swapping SIM cards if I ever feel like going back to a smaller phone.

That's my plan too, so this is the reason why i'm reading the sony so long

There are so many issues with the Z5 Compact. Marshmallow better solve them, otherwise I will sell it and use the money as pre-payment for a... ugh... kill me... Samsung Z7. Don't make me do this, Sony, I BEG.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Love the fact that Sony has killed off small apps in the Marshmallow UI (according to hands on with the X series phones at MWC).

They're so useless on the small display and clutter up the multitasking pane.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] gwar11d2:
Yah, so hoping for this to drop soon.... That Samsung GS7 looks pretty good with the 5.1 screen :) But yah...can't stand touchwiz. OK back on topic. We see/hear anything lately? :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NewBieSS:
TW has huge improved since Android MM.

Nice speed, awasome multitasking (better than LG V10, iphone 6s plus,..), nice animation, white notification toggle (beautiful) and more. I'm using Note 5 as well as Z3 :)

// MM for Xperia will be released in March, I think so :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
LOL Dude trust me they pull that **** all they time with TW. First it start fast because they have to sell phones then after some updates and when the new phone comeso ut they start slowing down your device out of nothing. But i think its just funny when people dont see this and say TW is better on each new phone they put out.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NewBieSS:
Don't trust anyone. BTW, We will back to the topic :D

I need a review!!! Specifically are the lags gone and how is the camera doing!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Waiting for Japanese to do reviews now......
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] XQC:
Well, with the japanese release it seems that March 7, like announced on Sony's twitter, seems pretty realistic.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
Yes! I'm checking every 30 minutes just to make sure it hasn't accidentally been rolled out in the Netherlands ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
Apparently stamina settings are not present in 6.0

Sony clearly having issues incorporating there stamina features along with doze in mm.

Anyway we'll be receiving 6.0 in 2016 so Not long lol

What a epic disappointment this device is so far.

BTW can this device be returned on the basis of false advertising, in that I hoped for ant+ yet there is no ant+ feature available to us end users?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Screenshots;

http://www.sonymobile.co.jp/product/update/docomo/marshmallow/

No more small apps (finally!). Really happy about that. Real shame though that they did not update the stock Sony app icons to the new ones developed for the Marshmallow Concept software.

Also if the rumours are true that this is 6.0 and not 6.0.1 (even Samsung has 6.0.1) and that there is no Stamina mode then that is truly a complete and utter letdown. Doze does not work when the phone is in your pocket. What the heck Sony?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Pakman123:
looks like systemui bug is still present -_- sony should hire xda members to design the ui they would do a much better job
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lemming0815:
Users report that they got the "software updater" update one week before the roll-out: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65630437&postcount=50

Also, rumors say that Stamina will be introduced back in a succeeding upgrade in April. Maybe that brings 6.0.1 as well?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I have read that Sony actively worked with Google on Doze feature, which would suggest Stamina is already incorporated into it. I have no idea how true that is though.

What is the systemui bug? (In other words what other bugs I still have but didn't notice?)

The small apps still appear, but when you scroll through multiple apps open, small apps disappear. I removed them in 5.1.1 using adb, no root necessary.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fargo_Zoidberg:
There are still small apps (according to those pics). The small apps toolbar will fade away when scrolling recent apps, though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] AiMwasNeD:
Hopefully there is an option to adjust the vibration intensity.

It's very poor to own a premium smartphone which can not handle that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] billbond4:
i just want to be able to disable the vibration when you connect a charger without rooting phone

Im giving this phone a last chance with the MM update, but Im really tempted to order a Galaxy S7 instead

awesome, ill put this in the topic
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Guess no RAW in marshmallow :( Guess i have to own a s7 next time

Same here bro but if ill get a s7 ill wait a couple of months till price comes down or till they hook me up with that gear 360 cam :)

So iffff mm is released on Monday 7th.

How long would it take for the ftf file to be ready in xperiafirm?

I want to manually wipe 'every' partition of this device before flashing the ftf.

Rather then a traditional ota update from LP to MM.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] iozzo:
Same. I want to get rid of the current branded vodafone firmware as I update to MM, hence I guess I am stuck with the xperiafirm release right?

EDIT: Actually I could simply debrand right now, perform an OTA update once MM is available and than do a factory reset I guess. Same for you, once updated via OTA you can factory reset and you should be good.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
I considered the post OTA update factory reset option.

I just want to be uber pedantic about the update and want to manually wipe those partitions just for good practice - hence ftf would be ideal, but if it means waiting a while for mm ftf then maybe not ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
If the update is released through the PC Companion then xperifirm would have it right away. If it's an ota only release, then it might take a while
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] billbond4:
It's 1.3GB in size so don't think they will be pushing ota too soon
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I was super tempted to try and flash the Japanese software but the thought that I would have Japanese interface scared me off a bit... ;)

Does anybody know: if I bought an unlocked phone, no carrier, do I lose warranty by flashing it? The website doesn't say...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] goRt:
You think it will be smaller in the future then??? ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
Be careful it may brick your phone if you doesnt have japanese model
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
No you wont lose your warranty if you only flash official firmware trough the xperia firmware program so thats a easy way to unbrand your phone just like i did :)

6.0.1 maybe
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
So beta starts tomorrow then I guess. And the actual release will be a month from now? Makes sense. Since the Japan Z5 will get "stamina mode in april"
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lemming0815:
Beta has started a while ago and only for up to z3. Z5 has no indication of a dedicated beta program and will most likely get the release directly. At least to my current knowledge
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] addicted1900:
Which would make sense for me. It seems like Z3 will get the Update later then our z5's and the z3+. I mean the Z3 uses a SD801 with 32bit architecture and our Phones are using 64bit like the X-Performance. Maybe thats the reason for their own beta?

Hopefully we'll see tomorrow :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Yea think that might be the reason! But only thing im looking forward to is the new app permission feature in marshmallow but still no RAW or stamina kinda makes me hate this z5c :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] addicted1900:
And the hopefully fixed mobile radio active bug :D But maybe we got a different Rom then the Docomo Users. We'll see ;)

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] addicted1900:

E5823 Singapore is up.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Oxoacid:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] basthet:
And Singapore is non-branded... (Customized SG)

Just wondering if its save to flash on a German device...

Well, in the z5-Main forums the majority stated, that there aren't manual controls. Which App did you tested it with ?

edit: would be cool if that was true :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Oxoacid:
The Manual Camera app. That's why I wrote it in capital letters. :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Of course it's safe. But most regions have the update now anyway. Try pc companion and then xperifirm
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] toxic_garden:
how did you root MM that fast? :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Still no update in the UK.

And why is it not 6.0.1? It's not like Sony hasn't had plenty of time.

most of 6.0.1 fixes were for Nexus devices weren't they? So it didn't really matter to us.

xperifirmi only shows me the Singaporean one.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lemming0815:
I guess you are referring to the removal of the bloatware provided a rooted device and not the rooting itself as a piece of cake? AFAIK lp couldn't be rooted on the z5 in-situ due to a lack of vulnerability of the rom
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
No without root most can be uninstalled and the z5 and z5c did have root on LP.
