When you reboot and you press and hold the "volume down" button as soon as the green notification light starts to shine - does your device vibrate?

Does anyone know how to fix the time-shift-burst-not-saving-bug? Our little staddy-problem...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
That's strange. It should, for ~1 - 2 secons when the white "Sony" is displayed.

Did you try to flash the 575 kernel, rooting it with RecRoot v4, then flash back the 291 kernel? (If not, ask for detailed info ;) )

hi, i've never installed a rom like this on my phone, i'd like to know if i have to root it before flash this rom..

i'm using the version 6.0.1 stock Customised AU, i haven't root my phone until today, neither unlocked the bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] centrojas:
Yes. You have to root your phone. Check the tutorials in the z3 compact general forum.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Was this method successful for you? Did your phone restart to recovery after it and/or has root?

Yes, you need root because you need a custom recovery to flash it (TWRP recommended). You can root your z3c either with this method or with this one (look at "LB/UB supported [Windows/Flashable]").

Both are not complicated, pm me if you need further assistance ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
Don't wipe cache after flashing the zip, I'm using this mod, and it works fine, I just flash it right after flashing SLiMM along with xposed and whatever other things I'm re-flashing each time.

Seemingly Google or Qualcomm removed support for all 800 and 801 SOCs from the final Nougat builds, even though the Z3 was an early testbed for Android N...so sounds like we're at a dead end unless someone can bring those libraries over from the test builds into the final build. Sounds like I'll be looking for a Z5 Compact once Sony gets N on those...

YES! I've noticed this too, and it's really weird. At first I thought it was maybe from a change in Play Services, but basically you cannot alter ANY permissions without first disabling ALL overlay permissions from every app, then going back and fixing the permissions you wanted to change, and then returning to the overlay settings and restoring the apps that need it. I personally use Swipepad, which REQUIRES the overlay permission to do it's thing, I'm not sure about most of the other apps on my list, but I don't get why this is happening....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ARTLG:
Yes, it was successful. My phone got a recovery, but for some reason it's gone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Just to make sure, you reflashed the 291 kernel

and then TWRP was gone?

First of all thank you for helping out.

For me what happens:

The green light turnes on and I press (or hold - the same result) the vol down. The light turns pink/violet the phone also vibrates but it boots normally to OS.

Should I also try this with kernel or what should I do?

Can I do the kernel flash with locked bootloader?

anyway now my phone is bootloop all I can see is Sony logo then Powered by Android and then reboot ...

I've tried to enter recovery with no hope same thing with adb.

I don't know what to do? I've UB btw.

thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] CAL7:
Thus is something that hit my Z3C after a dirty flash of the full 3.1 ROM. Nobody else has mentioned it, so it must be just me.

My external SD card, since I first went to MM, has been named "exfat_uuid". Multiple upgrades of 1.x and 2.x versions of SLiMM did not change that. But now, 3.1 made it "6635-6335".

It had been quite a chore to go through various app settings to get them to recognize "exfat_uuid"; now I seemingly must re-do everything to see "6635-6335".

I think apart from that, I also lost SuperSU, but was easily able to install it from the Play Store. All my SU apps work now, but Titanium Backup. TB refuses to acquire root privileges.

Please help with the process on how to flash the kernels and where to find them and the software.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
Yes, I noticed the same thing and had to set CameraZoomFX up to save to the right place again, and re-do my ringtone/notification/alarm settings since the files are on my SD card. Not big deal, and I guess the new base rom renamed the external sd-card mount. You can also set directory locations using the xposed module, Downloads2SD, which I also had to update of course.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

So despite SLiMM 3.x being based on 23.5.A.1.291, and EliteKernelV3 saying it's for 23.5.A.0.575, you still use it and haven't had any issues?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yeah, it's awesome... Works fine, I've found that kernels either work really well, or not work at all [emoji23]

Can anyone tell us their opinion regarding a clean flash?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Ktos94852:
As your bootloader is unlocked, i think all you have to do is enter fastboot (Google it, i think you can enter it by holding volume up when Phone is off and then, still holding the button, connecting it to PC via USB, but i am not sure, haven't ever done that on this device) and flash TWRP using "Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command. Of course, you need to download the image first. After that your recovery should be back and you can flash SliMM with it.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yaroszek:
If You have unlocked bootloader download adwanced kernel and ADB . Then enter fastboot mode> with turned off phone hold vol- button and plug USB. Blue notification Light with screen off means phone is in fastboot mode.

Copy boot.img from advanced kernel .zip to adb folder. Open Command Prompt go to adb folder in Command prompt and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Advanced Kerner has twrp in it just type "fastboot reboot" and press vol- when green notification light will on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] takhim:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Ktos94852:
No, you cannot. If you don't want to lose apps, settings etc do what i did. Download full 3.1 ROM, put it on SD, go to recovery. Make a data backup (or a full backup to be able to rollback if anything is wrong), then flash the 3.1 ROM. Do a factory reset, then restore data (ONLY data). Voila. You have 3.1 and all of your stuff is still installed and ready.

Something to read for those who ask why we don´t get Nougat for our Z3C: http://www.androidcentral.com/Android-7-snapdragon-800

A bit speculative but it make sense.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Cool, I do know though, and I suspect:

Sony has decreased the brightness of the flash considerably.

Camera temperature warning.

The position of the CPU at the top left hand side, and its cooling weakness.

All these high temperatures are located at the top edge of the screen.

What happens is this, because of the high temperature problems of the Z3C, these combined temperatures, I believe, are the main cause of detachment of screen near the proximity sensor, usb flaps rubber seal, and the z3c's known waterproof problems arise, heat vs the phones front and backplate seals.

Earlier phones used double sided tape, this was quickly changed to silicon glue, but the screens continue to rise.

(Warning, I have discovered that one of Sony's official centres, did not use silicon glue and used the older way of using double sided tape, this is not cool)

This is why the Z5C is much cooler and flaps have been disregarded in favour of waterproof ports...

But what annoys me is Sony's lack of acknowledgement of the temperature issues, due to warranty and outside warranty repair issues.

I don't know if someone wrote about it but if you used advanced wipe and you can't go to recovery you can flash boot.img through flashtool (fastboot mode --> select kernel to hotboot --> flash boot.img) After this you will be able to use one-time recovery to install other rom or to reinstall slimm rom.

"Timeshift Burst" problems

Hey,

I experience problems with the "Timeshift Burst" camera feature with SLiMM 3.1. I can use it and select a photo but the selected photo is not saved on my phone / sd-card. All the folders for timeshift burst get created in the "DCIM" folders but with no pictures in it. A friend of mine who also uses 3.1 and did the update with the full 3.1 ROM coming from the latest SLiMM 2.x version also expereinces this.

So do we need a full factory resetted installation or what could cause this stange behaviour ("Timeshift burst" has all rights to read & write to SD or phone storage)?

Everything else is working fine for me, so a big thanks to [MENTION=448664]Wajk[/MENTION] for providing us with this little masterpiece of ROM :)
