Hello... Wiped my grouper completly.

Installed remix ROM 5.6.4... Already have it On my S3 and am loving it!

Using twrp 3.0.0-1 everything goes smooth... After flashing the rom,reboot OK, then I go back to twrp to flash gapps... But I cant... It says not enough free space on /system!!! :banghead:

Help?! :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aoaleman:
Probably going to have to start over. Flash ROM with pico open gapps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Djeypi:
I did it a few times already, tried all gapps in open gapps... Full, stock, mini, nano and pico... Always says it doenst have enough space on /system. The partition is 639MB and after installing android 6.0.1, Gets a free space of 20 MB... :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stonecoldf:
So I have searched but can't seem to find what File System format should be for each partition to use this rom. Currently I have:

System - ext4

Cache - ext3

Data - F2FS

ext_sdcard - vfat

ext_data - ext4

ext_system - ext4

dock_sdcard - vfat

I read that the only partition I needed to change to make this rom work was Data to F2FS, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Hello everyone, I've enjoyed my sgs3 for several years now a few months after its release. It's been through hell and back but has worked never skipping a beat until about a week ago.

The screen suddenly became non-responsive. I'm thinking the digitizer is probably bad or something. Someone recommended restoring the factory rom via odin as a last resort. Although I doubt this will work, because not only was I unable to unlock the phone in the rom, I also was unable to unlock twrp. This leads me to believe digitizer issues. Now I could buy the digitizer with a screen for about 65 dollars or just buy a used sgs3 for a few more bucks from swappa. The problem is I don't have those few bucks to spend. Hell I'm on selectel's cheapest non-data plan for goodness sake.

I have successfully put MB1 back on the phone via odin. However this replaces the stock recovery, and I am unable to wipe data in the stock recovery because you must use the power button to select the options. I ripped that out over a year ago when it was causing me problems with random rebooting. I did all I could to keep the power button going using several methods, which worked for a while but eventually I pulled the damn thing out. I realize I could take apart the phone solder two wires to the board and use that for a makeshift switch but I don't want to go through that in all honesty.

What do you experts here think? Is it now junk ready to be sold for scrap or given away, or does anyone know of a way to wipe data so I can at least get it to boot and maybe just maybe salvage this thing? I just bought a nice new hybrid case about 2 days before this occurred for about 4 bucks because my case was falling apart..

I'd like to be able to wipe data/cache from odin, or somehow use adb from the odin screen. Stock recovery isn't an option and I can't for the life of me get TWRP or CWM touch to flash. I don't know why but it fails every time. I've read and read until I'm blue in the face, and there's a sticky here in this section about using the sdcard to unbrick phones, but my pc doesn't have a card reader so that's a no go too.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Hmm, not sure, can you get the phone to boot? You have touch access still?

You could simply reroot the thing without touching the phone at all, then use Odin to flash twrp to your phone once it's rooted. Before you can use adb you have to activate debugging, which is impossible without being able to use the touch screen.

There is no adb command for what you're asking for. However, it's possible through fastboot. But I don't think we ever got fastboot to work for the S3. It's a specific bootloader menu similar to download mode.

If you cant do it in an easy way, I'd suggest getting another phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Thanks, yeah, I'm not going to repair it when I can buy one for 69-70 or get a better one for a little more. I'm not crazy about some of the newer devices being locked down so hard or not having removable batteries or sd card slots. I know they exist. Guess I'll have to do some homework if it comes to that. The touch access is the issue along with not having the power button, and no it won't boot. It goes past two boot images, static images, then loops during the boot ani. I've let it sit for about 10 minutes. This should be plenty of time.

Thanks for the reply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
sounds like you're doing everything you can.

As a last ditch effort to give your phone a bit of life, you could just load the newest version. Sure it'll lock your phone and you won't be able to unlock it anymore, but if you load all the latest software it'll be completely stock. I'm sure it'll boot up then, then you can see exactly what you have to work with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Thanks for the reply again, I think I'm going to stick with MB1 for now. I don't want to lock it up at the moment. Although I doubt the experience could be that much different, better in some ways and worse in others by doing that, I prefer freedom if I can keep it. ha ha. Master Cylinder has mentioned a few more things to try and should they work, I'll post the results here.

I did use a paper clip to activate a data cache wipe in stock recovery since I don't have a power button. This was the first time I needed the button in over a year, I was going to solder two pieces of wire to use as a power button but my soldering iron is shot.

thanks again

Hi All,

yesterday I installed Greenify app and hibernated few apps. After few hours, I uninstalled the app and restarted the mobile. from then I was experiencing some unusual behavior. My ring tones, alarm tones, notification tones all set to none by default. Even I can't see the notifications/Quick settings we see when we swipe down on the top of the screen. I restarted several times and cleared cache in the twrp recovery mode. But still I am unable to see the quick settings. Please help me.

Mobile Moto X play -- Marshmallow 6.0
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] uchosen:
So apparently the Zs are dead replaced by the newly announced Xperia X series.

There were 3 X models, none smaller than 5". Does that mean there will be no "compact" models anymore or for at least some time?

I think I'm done with Sony. Their decision making is a train wreck.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Raz0Rfail:
They can give is new devices with 4,6" or 4,7" devices.

Think about the performance which the compact devices have. No compact device from another manufacturer has nearly the same performance than their big brothers as from Sony!

I bought my z5c 3 days ago and i had changed from a z1c, and I didn't realize the different performance. The only change i realized is the fingerprinting sensor.

So what you want from a real compact device?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sopur:
I did understand, that the X-series is "mid-to-high-end", whereas the Z will stay the "high-end" series.

(I think, the X-series does not make sense, too many devices... - just make the Z-series little cheaper :) ).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] weasal:
I'm sure they'll revisit in few years when Apple makes few more billion on the updated 5S and Sony slumps down further.

I'm by no means an Apple supporter but they seem to be the only ones that have any understanding what the market wants and how to make money...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I was telling myself I should have not bought the Z5 Compact and waited for X Performance instead, then I saw the expected price and I think Z5 Compact was a very good choice.

I really don't understand Sony's strategy at all now. Announcing new phones that won't be out for months is going to royally duck up the Z5 sales. No compact models, no phablet models. What is this X series supposed to be? Is Z6 coming at all? So many questions.

Also where's my Marshmallow? (but that's a whole other thread)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
You'll have to wait more months to know this.

The XA is 5" but, based on the width, is nearly compact.

I think that Sony will launch a replacement for the Z5C at the end of the year.

Compact (one-handed) mid/hi-end phones are getting "a bit" popular. Apple is trying to launch a smaller phone (I know a lot of people who still use the small iPhone and consider the 4.7" iPhone 6/6S big). I think that Google realized that many customers didn't like the size jump from 5 to 5X. (And I didn't like the jump from GNexus or Moto X to Nexus 5 in size), so maybe we'll have some small Nexus alternatives, who knows..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
In Japan, smaller phone is very demanding that's why Sony making compact and you guys will see next model again in future no worry. Z1c and Z3c even beat the sales of IP5s in Japan.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mele80:
Sony has stated that z serieswas phase from sony ericsson to Sony. Now x series is their new series that will be their top line.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] uchosen:
There will be no Z6

Let us all join in a moment of silence :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jbondop:
Well I guess that just makes our z5c that extra bit special
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nej_simon:
But the Xperia XA is based on the budget Mediatek P10 SOC. Unless they put a high-end SOC in a compact phone I wouldn't consider it an alternative to the Z compact-series!

I hope they have something else coming. Otherwise I guess I'll have to stick with my current phone for a while longer than planned.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
Sony fooled me once with the Xperia S and now with the Z5C (that I have kept in a box waiting for the FW update). They will never fool me again, that's for sure.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] theprince1991:
What was wrong with the XPERIA S? I LOVED that phone. Camera was a bit naff but everything was good. I especially liked the transparent LED strip at the bottom.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
As you said, the camera, and the lack of updates, same as for the Z5C.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
Was a smidgen close to buying the z5c again after trying and not liking the 5x. Glad I didn't. Support will be dead imo. I'm going for the new iphone se. Only new small high end phone incoming. I know most here don't care but it is rumoured to have the a9/m9 processors, hopefully 2gb ram, 12mp Camara, touch Id ect. Basically a high end 4 incher. Been using my son's old iphone 5 for the last couple weeks and I'm kind of loving it. Yeah I know, you'd never go to Apple no matter what. Ha well if Sony had their crap together, I wouldn't have been persuaded by another manufacturer.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I was a XS white user and that one no doubt more beautiful than my Z5c... lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Supa_Fly:
[MENTION=243332]weasel[/MENTION] is right. Sony was the best manufacturer that prided performance in the compact lineup vs offering us a Mini. This has changed due to lack of sales cause they don't believe in lining pockets of reviews some 3 yrs ago to win the market and bait clicks on every Sony news. They pass HUGE dollars to bolster security leak and paid employees that sued them due to that security leak.

Their ensuring manufacturing costs don't explode with the higher US dollar which also affects profits in Europe and the UK!! Look at current currency exchange rates then tarrifs this hurts profits!

Sony is on a path to offer a sort of luxury lineup at the mid range with acceptable performance without heavy R&D which translates into more profits from revenues to fund a better Z series replacement at the high end luxury scale. Sony can test the waters with the X series (which is NOT the first time this existed, recall the X1 that was a beauty but built by HTC) this allows the Z lineup to continue selling, while they stop manufacturing in early May, empty out the distribution channels and complete revenues for that target market I'm happy to buy 2 Xperia Z5C's to hold me back until a real luxury compact suits my needs from Sony. Then the X lineup is introduced, if it fails no major cost to Sony. If it takes they may be able to release a new series with a name not a letter. Sony is running out of letters X is now repeated in 5yrs, M, S, Z, T, U, not much left that doesn't sound weird.

"I did understand, that the X-series is "mid-to-high-end", whereas the Z will stay the "high-end" series.

(I think, the X-series does not make sense, too many devices... - just make the Z-series little cheaper ￼ )." the Z series will have a price cut soon. But that's retail look for cheaper quality enjoyed Z's to keep you running. MARSHMALLOW DELAY is annoying BUT I'd rather NOT have Android Memory sharing like LG did with the G5!! I paid for my MicroSD I own it not Android! So don't for it on anyone. Samsung learner this with the SGS7 so I'm inclined to think Sony will too.

[MENTION=772213]josie[/MENTION] I seem to recall the Xperia S had a few updates to Kitkat thus well supported. Not sure about camera woes though you may need to elaborate in full.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
Sony already gave a statement saying the Z line is no more. I think it's a REALLY terrible idea, but they know better I guess.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Supa_Fly:
It's possible they maybe working on something better b
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] theprince1991:
Lack of updates?? It shipped with Gingerbread and got Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean before updates stopped... That's pretty significant, I'm not sure how you can ask for more.

Z5C has just come out, I'm thinking we'll get plenty of updates for it. The camera in the Z5C is amazing in my opinion, I'm sure after MM it will be even better. But yes, I do concede the Sony phones have more noise than other manufacturers.

I had the black one... It was beautiful for sure, but I love the grey/black glass back of the Z5C... It's gorgeous.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I too was going to get that phone but then saw the camera comparison between the iPhone 6S Plus and the Galaxy S7 where the Samsung completely blew the iPhone away. I concluded that my love for decent phone cameras supercedes all else, even phone size. I hope you enjoy the SE! And I hope it prompts Android manufacturers to try and compete with high end specifications in small phones, whilst retaining decent battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I got the white XS and my brother got black XS. The black XS isn't that good bcoz the black plastic looks cheap, the white material is much better. so, you are right that the Z5c black(my friend also owned z5c black) is better than XS black.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
What phones have you previously had that you think the z5c camera is good? I absolutely can't stand mine!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Whilst the Z5C camera is better than any phone I've ever had previously, its lacklustre low light performance is the reason why I'm switching to Galaxy S7.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Very disappointing.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I wasn't really expecting to get it in Z products (they have to sell the X with SOMETHING) but I am disappointed anyway. Hopefully somebody here manages to root the phone and get us the predictive autofocus anyway.

[MENTION=4620131]pannekoek28[/MENTION], did they mention when to expect Marshmallow in the NL?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
I bought the Z5C based mostly on their marketing (and some reviews) stating it had the best camera from all mobile phones. I soon realized it was false, even my wifes G4 has a better camera. This week I'll receive a Samsung S7, with a Sony sensor, and a lot faster then the Z5C. I'll never get the X or whatever series after the disappointment it was the Z5C.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mario24601:
Is camera really that bad?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
No its not bad at all but it could be lots better if sony would do RAW support. But the main problem i have is that in most photo's the edges and corners are blurry/soft but besides that its a good camera that can shoot awesome pictures.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
No, I can not return it, I have it for almost 5 months now. Maybe I'll sell it though. Anyway, what people do to earn their money and what they do with it it's off topic here.

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Not to mention it's slow, very slow. You see something you want to take a shot and by the time you have the camera ready to shoot the thing is long gone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I'm doing the same thing. Xperia Z5 Compact to Galaxy S7.

I've got no car (I walk to work), no kids and I'm renting a single room in a crappy bare-bones shared house (no expensive mortgage). That's why I can afford it.

But I don't usually get a new phone every 6 months. This is the fastest I've ever replaced a phone. I haven't been entirely satisfied with the Z5 Compact, regarding the camera and the general software experience.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mario24601:
Yikes, I just ordered my Z5C....guess I can always return it too if its too unbearable.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
You have a kid now(z5c). :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
better call up who you ordered from lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mario24601:
What ya mean? To cancel?

I just got oneplus x and galaxy alpha. Z5c arrives tomorrow.... Hopefully one of these will be a good new phone!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
yes, I am not lliking the z5c much. Galaxy alpha would be my dd but its even bigger. I came from the s4 mini and loved how it felt in hand for one hand use. alpha and z5c are brick shape so they dont hold well, s5 mini(g800m) is probably what ill move to soon.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
Remember to update the Z5C to the latest MM firmware, it's a new phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mario24601:
MM is out?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Yes and it breathes new life into the phone
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mario24601:
Speed and experience better? I don't care for animation and eye candy just want a fluid experience.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Kaiser_Y:
just a general comment on Sony phones: I have only used android on Sony Ericsson/Sony devices so far (5 years and counting), and I NEVER did it for support or anything. I've learned on my Live With Walkman that you never trust on a Sony firmware update, and you never expects good support for end users. What I love about Sony is the design and the AWESOME hardware features, specially media stuff. I usually use it on the current firmware until the warranty expires (and/or as long as I'm sure there's no manufacturing faults) and then flash whatever the ROM I want and be happy. One thing I love about the brand is the development support they give, that's by far the best among all manufactures imho. Generally the community does a better job in updating the firmware than them. And when you run a AOSP ROM, light and smooth as it uses to be, with the great specs and design Sony offers, I couldn't be more happy.

Also IMO it's kind of lazy wait for some update from the manufacturer itself (and complain about it) while there's tons of ROMs available and you can choose the one you like more/suits you best, install it and enjoy. That's the main reason I'm on XDA on the first place.

Remembering that Samsung with their so cursed Exynos do not offer dev support, and the guys who want to dev for it, do it with enourmous effort, pretty much guessing stuff. Bottom line, that's all about what you need and what you expect from an android phone. To me there's no better phone than a xperia z series.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
That is actually all I ever wanted sincr lollipop was slow as hell. Yes. It's. fast.
