Well, still nothing, I was trying to find a solution, and I'm still trying. Different tweaks for interactive governor, stock Sony ones, stock Wajk's for MM, for LP, nothing. Apps are also getting killed more often than on LP, even with Low Memory Killer values lower than on LP :confused: This is 4th time I've decided to try MM again, and the same reason is making me go back for LP, it's just properly optimized for our device. I'm pretty sure that Sony did not put enough effort in MM, it's just not working out for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Once you have done a reset and the GPS problem is gone, you can update Slim via OTA and it stays fixed.

The same problem, and battery draining by Google Services

Sent from Tapatalk Z3 compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Boki_Srb:
Guys, I think you're wrong a lot. Services do not start themselves. Other programs denounce them. Maybe some parts, but when you disable all permissions, disable ALL google updates in GooglePlayStore options, and disable ALL unnecessary notifications, ALL auto sync, they are pretty much inactive.

Seek for solutions on a totaly other side.

For me, for example, weather program, have option to collect and report data and location. so it worked when it liked.

Now, my phone is losing battery 2% over night, from 11PM till 7AM. During the day, almost same story. Not counting the calls and activities, but when it is on the table.

Can't go back to LP because theres no fix for me which worked for the Radio Active bug

So i will try dirty flash the rom tonight
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ciku720:
No battery drain here. I can confirm that REAL battery usage is very good, so it's not just wrong calculating stats.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] MichaelMeier:
In 3.8 the pressure sensor test in the service menu seems to be gone. Worked in 3.7.

I flashed the full zip, cleared cache and dalvik.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
I don't have battery drain, but the inconsistency in performance is noticeable.

I am not using GApps, everything Google related is removed from system, including Play services and framework, so battery drain is not an issue. I am talking about general performance and fluidity of MM, when it works, it's great, the problem is that it's randomly slowing down and apps become less responsive, including SystemUI and everything related to it. I am using exact setup as in LP, even with less apps, and have tried different kernel settings, increased LMK values, none that helped. Apps are kept in control using Amplify, various services are blocked, so no unusual running in background is present. The thing is, it's not about SliMM, it's about MM in general, because MM is unfinished release by Sony themselfves. Thanks for the input though, other will need that :)

Removing GApps and setting up Amplify has eliminated Mobile Radio Active drain, so there are no issues with that, for me, I even had better battery life using mobile data on LP. I always clean flash everything, I can say I've tried it all :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] KUN1:
For me its too much effort to remove any google apps because i need contact and calendar sync
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
You can have both working using MicroG, I just don't need that. But it can be done. It doesn't take much time to remove GApps and set up MicroG (adding the contact and calendar sync as well).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] datumdatzgr:
Odd issue...

While playing media (music, video, youtube etc.), if phone rings or notifies an incoming message (mail, watsapp etc.), volume of media decreases and continues like that even if notification or ringing ends. Only way to increase the volume back to default is 1) to go settings, 2) to act like we change ringing melody, select another melody, then select the desired melody, 3) then exit settings.

Anyone experiences this?

Thanks

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask: how do you flash systemless root on SLiMM? I tried it but I got the message 'boot image support required'.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] SnijbooN1982:
Hi Didgesteve,

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering (as i'm facing huge battery drain by google services) if it makes any difference doing a factory reset within android or using twrp (i did this last weekend, wiped everything - system / cache / data / internal), if it does make any difference I'm more than happy to give it a try.

By the way, with 'Log in to Google from scratch' you mean the logging in the google account within android instead of skipping it and logging in through the browser?

Thanks!

Wow. Did you even try this ROM?

I know here are lots of complaints these days but I can't reproduce them. Google Play has no FCs at all for me, proximity sensor works fine, I never had GPS issues...

I think most problems occur because people don't do a full wipe before, and after flashing this rom. Or even worse, they restore everything with TB afterwards.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] scoobydu:
Thanks for the link.

Is it a matter of removing supersu and xposed and reinstalling their systemless alternatives?

Don't have an unlocked bootloader, so installing another kernel is not an option.

[MENTION=448664]Wajk[/MENTION], great ROM btw, but is there a reason systemless root is not included by default in the SLiMM 3.9?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
There is a difference between using TWRP and getting the android OS to do it. I am not a developer, but I think it's a to do with a flag on one of the partitions. I have always done it the same way and never really questioned why.

Yes, log in to the setup of the phone, rather than later.

Good luck.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Systemless installation requires an unlocked bootloader because boot.img will be modified during systemless installation.

For Z3C following kernels are suitable :

Advanced stock kernel

EliteKernel
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] scoobydu:
Thanks for that, I wasn't aware boot.img gets modified.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] SnijbooN1982:
Ok, looks like I have something to do tonight :)

So the steps should be:

1) factory reset within android (slimm)

2) flash full rom from TWRP (without any wipes)

3) login to google account and let it be for some time.

right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zogoibi:
Apologies for the question in advance, but this thread is so HUGE it has become unmanageable. I lost track a couple months ago and now it's a Bible to read. :)

I'm on SLIMM 3.1 (quite happy with it; thank you Wajk) and I'd go for an update, but I'm reading some issues with 3.8 and/or GPS.

Q.: What is the latest issues-free update? Or the latest with which people are having less problems? (Let's say the 'stablest'.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Yes

Yes

Yes

& only restore apps in Titanium backup, No system apps, No Google apps

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

If everything works fine in 3.1,then it should be a simple OTA update and you'll be good to go. The GPS issues only start if you have a bad install, or try and restore a Google profile from TWRP or TB.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sisqoboy:
I am so happy with this rom. Thanks again.

More or less I have one pain in my a** :)

Android pay - can live without this but:

I am in the UK and tsb bank has blocked using their app on rooted device and I think tesco bank will do the same very soon.

Is the only way to use them the systemless root? :/

I am not an expert and this thing with the bootloader a bit big bite for me…
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
If it was as easy as installing a couple of apps, then it wouldn't be good security. I looked into this when my Halifax app fell over but tbh, the prospect of potentially bricking your phone trying to unlock the bootloader just for one app. I just switched to using the website. You could go to the trouble of breaking your bootloader and following this guide and there's still no guarantee that it will work.

If you want contactless payment, order a NFC ring

Edit: not all bootloaders can be unlocked, check the Q&A thread for people who have bricked their phones trying.

---------- Post added at 11:01 ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 ----------

hello, I was thinking maybe a battery drain is also due to [MENTION=448664]Wajk[/MENTION] kernel settings....

Someone knows if slimm rom kernel settings are the same of sony stock rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
If you have battery drain then it's most likely to be Google. This Dev has been building roms for years and it's bad form to turn up on the thread and question his abilities. The solution to battery drain is two pages back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Hakosuka11:
Hello, I'm on latest Concept software, and I really like this Rom features... Anyway, someone using it can convince me about moving to this Rom? Thanks, and thanks to the developer
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] dpk3:
The room speaks for itself. Read the op and if you still can't decide from that the next best thing is to try it out for yourself. Cuz another pression getting to convince you is based off of his own standards and not yours so it might not be what you wanna hear. Hope you enjoy the room if you try it though.

Anybody any idea how to restore my recovery? When the phone boot I do see the green light, and as usual I press the volume down button (light turns purple). unfortunately my phone keeps hanging on the Sony logo at that point. Tried reflashing it with the TWRP app from the google store but did not change anything. Any suggestions welcome (still on ROM 1.1)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hnegrao:
Can someone confirm if the problem with loosing recovery is happening with 1.2 and/or 1.3 version of this rom?

Try Rashr app to install TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
Why there no download link for OTA? Because of recovery dissapearing?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Gabriel Vacker:
I think because the dev updated the base rom.I'm not sure.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kuczyproceder:
I think it's caused by the base update, as you can see in changelog.

BTW androidfilehost is down, can't download the update :<

To Get Recovery Back

When I first flashed the slimm 1.1 the recovery was working fine. But after a few days it just disappeared somehow. Green light during the sony logo disappeared and there was no way to boot into recovery. I've tried to install it using TWRP Manager, Rom Manager even adb fastboot, but it was unsuccessful. After a bit research inside and outside this post I've been able to get my recovery back, without returning to stock rom.

First I've followed this guide:

Z3C - MM TWRP Recovery for Locked BL - V2

I've uninstalled any remains of previous recovery. And using my pc, I set up a working recovery thanks to this.

After that I've downloaded and flashed this

This is how I got my recovery. I hope this helps to all those in need.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] khalisz:
How that can happen ?:confused:

Now we've to press volume down to enter in recovery mode, no more volume up as with Slim 5.0 and later.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rufus Vulpecula:
I really have no idea to be honest. After I've flashed 1.1 I got into recovery and did a factory reset and after a reboot I got into recovery again and installed xposed, it was working then. When I read people saying that they've lost recovery I was thinking that's not possible too. But after a day or two same thing happened to me. I've tried pressing each button many times but the green light was gone and it did not work. I was able to reinstall it using the method I described. Only that worked for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] madlive:
Tried it, with the latest TWRP image, unfortunately no resolve (successful flash, as witht he TWRP app), light blinks green, then purple, but won't enter recovery. I am still on slim 1.2

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] myhrdak:
i liked slimm rom a lot, but since i´m back

on the latest concept release directly from

sony, all my google play services drains

(keeping mobile radio active..) are gone.

so maybe wajk blocked play services way to much
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
The GPS errors start if you do a bad install or try and restore a Google profile from TWRP or TB.

You would have done a wipe/reset to install Concept and surprise the GPS problem is gone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] myhrdak:
absolutely correct, but i´ve done clean install with slimm too and surprise the GPS problem was still there ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Factory reset?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] myhrdak:
yes, started from scratch, GPS probs with slimm, no GPS probs with concept
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
If it was a rom problem it would be total, across the board, everyone has it. I don't have it, neither do 100s of other uses. That only leaves user error setting it up. Sorry.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] MatheusArmada:
I did a perfectly clean install a couple of weeks ago and I didn't have this GPS crash problem until yesterday. Phone died, I started charging and turned it on before the charge was complete, then bam, GPS crashed twice. It is certainly something related to the room, else there wouldn't be so many people complaining about it. I think the Wajk himself said recently that he found a fix for it though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BloodEdge:
Will xposed causes bootloop ???
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Pisiont:
It works just as good as on stock
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BloodEdge:
I've suffer a suddenly reboot and bootloop for a month, seems flash ftf is the only way, but everytime I flash xposed v86 it's get bootloop, I'm back to v85 just now, working fine so far
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
If you took your complaint about the Play Services to the Google forum you'd see it effects all makes and models of phones across all platforms. It's even present in Nexus.

I have been on Slim roms for years and its never gone wrong or given me problems.

I'll stick to slim and you can go back to stock or concept and we can leave it there ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] BloodEdge:
oh no, bootloop again......
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jacobs0n:
I've never had GPS problems on all SLiMM versions that I've tried.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
v86 is very stable, it's been out a long time. Try disabling the last module you installed, leave it a couple of days. Work backwards until the bootlloops stop. Not all Xposed modules work together.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] MatheusArmada:
I'll do whatever I want, you don't tell me what to do and we can leave it there.

I'm enjoying Wajk's Slimm rom just fine. Had my first problem with GPS (which only happened a couple of weeks after flashing the rom) and wanted to share and support the other guy's (and so many other people's) statement. Personally, I haven't been questioning the dev's work nor being impolite, so I'll just continue using the rom and looking forward for the update that has been announced to fix the GPS issue with the rom.

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

I thought I wouldn't have the problem seeing as it took quite long and a lot of people have been complaining about it for a while, not to mention, of course, that I'd done a clean flash and I don't even use Xposed or any kind of mod not included in the rom, so I was surprised when the problem finally happened to me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] vizdak:
Try to disable greenify if you have. I'm having trouble on gps when the shallow hibernation is enabled in greenify. Aggressive doze on greenify will not affect my gps but just to be sure I ended up killing greenify while biking.

Does NFC works for you in that rom ? I just reflashed it again and have still same problem - it can be turned on in settings but icon does not appear and does not recognize any NFC card.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Yes - It works - And it's normal that icon is not showing up - that's the standard setting.

Change following value in system/build.prop:

from

ro.nfc.icon.enable=false

to

ro.nfc.icon.enable=true

And of course: reboot once...

But this is only cosmetic - This has nothing to do that your NFC card is not working - Don't know why. Here it works... Tested with NFC tags and NFC Credit card I have.

Maybe your NFC card has the general possibility for NFC but its not activated to handle it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] harpik:
Thanks a lot. It find out that my sony after returning from warranty has a problem with connection between nfc antena and motherboard. I found that part on YouTube and while pressing that connection thru back glass it works fine. Dont know if i should return it to warranty again.

BTW that phone first went to warranty after drownig in pool. When you have hot phone and put it into cold water it may get water thru even when its covers are securly closed. But sony given my a new one.. Kind of new becouse firstly it has problem with vibration engine, and now this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
