Thanks, fastergps does the gsp.conf trick which is nice.

I have again factory reset the phone (Two times just to be sure), flashed 1.9, installed gps status e and faster gps.

ran faster gps, gave root acess, selected portugal, rebooted.

Open gps status (pro, which downloads agps data automatically), wait like 1min it got a fix but lost it 1sec after.

I will try to flash an older version of the rom to see if it is some kind of hardware problems

Edit: On Slimm 1.7 I got fix under 1min. and won't lost it. Second time I opened gps status the fix was almost instant.

Flashed full 1.9 on top of slimm 1.7, then wipe davilk, no fix.

I'm instivesting this post, I know layers project comes from Sony but is this rom support layers natively?[/QUOTE]

Layers caused my phone constant reboot. dark mode would be nice. Most annoying think, is blue status bar i some apps. Can I make it transparent or black?

Hi, on 1.9 and I get GPS fix under five seconds even inside.

About the stamina mode : is there a way to remove the notification icon?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] skinniezinho:
I simply don't understand what may be happening.

Any clue [MENTION=448664]Wajk[/MENTION]?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] somebodyhura:
I haven't done any GPS trick/Booster/modifier/optimizer app...it's just an GPS radar app(with many other unreletive features)

I have heard that they boost GPS...but I don't use them (GPS.conf tweaks etc...) I just use a good app...

I recommend you try it: (it's a free app)

http://dl.softgozar.com/Files/Mobile/Android/ToolBox_5.0.5_Softgozar.com.apk

Open app,

swipe a bit down(it has many tools, try them)

Tap GPS (its icon is a satellite)

If your location off it will ask for access and click the right button

Then you will see it locks very fast(without Internet..only gps)

If even this fails...maybe you are in a bad location...Im in suburbs actually.

Wajk congratulations, your work is great. I thank all those who have enabled us to have MM 6.0.1 on their Z3C devices.

As I said in 1.7 it works just fine in same place.

1.8 I have this problem too...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Craphead:
Do any of you know if there is a camera mod out there that works with this ROM so we can have 20/15 MP in Superior Auto again? There was one here that worked with LP but does not with MM unfortunately (flashing it results in camera app fc'ing right after starting it).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ted!:
Well the xposed mod 20mp superiorauto works fine for me. If you have this and it doesnt work... Just try to reinstall or to update

Layers is working on MM.

The ones that work for me are Grounge, OxygenOS and Spectrum.

Oxygen is the one that gives me a working black theme, if I try and use the 'framework' mod on the others it causes the phone to freeze

Multiwindow?

You mean small apps like calculator and etc...?

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Question:

I read the layers description post...it was somehow complicated... I was tl;dr... Can you give me a simpler description of what it does?

What features it has?

It doesn't seem to be just a theme app...

Simple thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] dawenz824:
Like use 2 apps at the same time on the screen, in split screen? :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] DarkHertZ:
wait for 2.0, great job !!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
That's only a feature meant for tablets in the Android N-preview afaik
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Craphead:
Woohoo, thank you good sir! I've already seen that module but somehow assumed it wouldnt work under MM either since in the description only KK and LP were mentioned. But you're right, after ticking the first box within in the module and a reboot it does work just fine. :good:

Edit: just now I became aware of something even better, Pexocam. Works with MM, but under Slim ROM make sure you follow these additional instructions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] somebodyhura:
Bofis is right....we have 4.6 inch display and if halved it would be 2.3 inch And makes no sense as its too small for example to put Google Chrome...the buttons and address area would be dissappeared and so many difficulty rather than functionality (imaging yourself)...it have to be for tablets...as they have enough space so if halved still productive and useful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rakzztar13:
Hi, i'd luck to ask a question about updating in the future,

I'm on 1.9 right it's my first time on this SLiMM rom.

When the 2.0 gets released do i need to flash the full rom or just the OTA version?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yaroszek:

Yeah It works, but in some apps, I think when they doesn't have translucent statusbar, statusbat is blue. Like in Handscent SMS

I'd like to make it black.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Yes, just the OTA, but cache/dalvik wipe required.

Try enabling all of OxygenOS, except Accent.

There are so many options and features, it takes a long time to get everything the way you want it.

But this isn't a rom related topic and there is a thread for this
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
Since he is updating the base ROM version, you will have to flash the full ROM to get that, OTA updates are only when it's the same rom/kernel between updates. But after you flash 2.0, if he updates with some fixes, but keeps the base ROM the same, there will be OTA updates for 2.1, etc which at least saves you downloading the full ROM every time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] skinniezinho:
it's definatelly something with my phone, tried slimm 5.0 and others, it gets fix but weak one.

For example if my phone is on the car dashboard it can get fix, but if I put it on the passenger seat it will loose fix.

Guess it is hardware problem, it wasn't like this before. Sorry for loosing everybodys time, rom is amazing specially the battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pista74:
really good rom!!! how is best camera mod for this rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rakzztar13:
So for the 2.0 will be the full rom that i'm gonna install.

Thank you very much! Just wanted to be sure.

Cheers!?

Not necessarely your problem alone , i'm having huge problem with gps too. I've also tried faster gps , it worked for a moment , but now my phone ca't catch a single satellyte . I don't know what to do anymore , i've tried everything.. i just don't want to leave it at sony's assistance , it will take forever and except for this , the phone with slim rom is perfect . Anyone else having other ideas ?

Seems to be an issue with the chip.

My gps always worked fine in slimm, at least in slimm 5.0....yesterday I even went back to slimm 5.0 and it behave like I said...took a while to lock, after lock if I move a bit it will loose fix and won't lock.

I will ship mine to warranty.

Slimm 1.9 + pexoid camera = perfect combo, very nice battery, fast, problem free....

delayed notifications

I'm running on 1.9 and since yesterday I noticed that notifications are too late.

I'm running calengoo as calendar app and I noticed for notfications from this app.

Is there anyway to circumvent this problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AbsenceJam:
Couple of questions.

1) I didn't read the warning about not doing an advanced wipe, and although everything is working I can't enter recovery (okay, so not everything is working). How do I sort this out?

2) I've heard about restoring the 'DRM functions' even with an unlocked bootloader. Where can I find info on this, and would it require a wipe, reset, etc?

Search isn't working at time of writing or I'd be trying that first.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
1) You need to download Serajr's TWRP Recovery package,I cannot currently find the link for that,but I know you will need to run that from your computer(I believe this method is only for locked bootloader)

2) You will need to restore DRM functions only if you have an unlocked bootloader,which basically fixes your camera quality if you unlocked your bootloader,but if you still have your bootloader locked then you don't have to flash DRM restore zip
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pakoczesiu:
Hi there. I tried reflashing (clean, dirty, OTA) this ROM several times. Since 1.8 I have trouble with repeating FC in two apps: Google Services and Google Messenger. Whenever I try to open Messenger, it goes FC, followed by G Services FC. Syncing Google account also doesn't work properly: any app update - and G Services FC. I tried clearing cache, unistalling and reinstalling Google Services and/or Google Service Framework. Still nothing.

I also use Amplify.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] chipiton:
maybe your problem is amplify. not having problems with 1.8 or 1.9

i dont use google messenger, btw
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I know it's the worse case scenario, but have you tried factory reset via twrp?

I've also left amplify since MM

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] somebodyhura:
That's a problem of closing G Services, when it gets closed it lost syncing and when a G depending app start it will not work/login through G( i had this issue with many apps like clash of clans...when G service is closed it won't save on G servers)

So you must ignore closing all G Services and Apps OR

Use a different process manager that can wake up apps on gcm and cross app function.

For me greenify works well...

It will close it and when I open clash of clans it will open it up automatically and login...and when out (with auto hibernating) it will close it.

Suggest try that after a clean install.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
There is a way to reinstall MM recovery from a PC

Once you are into recovery, download and flash TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Z3c available here

Apparently DRM restore now works on the camera functions as well, but I am sceptical

Turn off Icing in amplify, it's a 'known' problem in the amplify thread, also avoid latest version of amplify, it causes instabilities in play services
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
+1 on sceptical.

It seems to be working for me as of this week, (yeah right you say), (pretty hard to believe as it's been mostly placebo, after a 100 different instructions all failing, and multiple tft roms etc., and realising it's all in my head), (the drm working again conspiracy), but haven't had a chance to test it out yet. Cost me a factory reset.

Going with that. I had two alarms and wakelocks with 'icing' blocked in Amplify, turned them on again.

Question:

I know changing Mac address is very difficult and somehow illegal...but I can't change Mac( it won't work...see log at end)... Is it ROM depended?

Or its a hardware limited?

Cuz it works on other phones but not on my Z3C.

I used many apps.

Only one of them worked correct but will make phone buggy after a while and...restart and once I got into bootloop after 3 restarts it came up.

Log here:

Ip link set dev wlan0 address 42:3b:72:37:00:19

Ip link set dev wlan0 cat

Error: either "dev" is duplicate or "cat" is a garbage
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AbsenceJam:
The script puts me in TWRP, I flash the zip, reboot, ...no recovery.

I'm sure there's probably a dramatic wipe and reinstall everything way to sort this, but I'd rather not.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
MAC address spoofing is not illegal.

It can become illegal if used to circumvent security, like with an ISP's user agreement or can be argued illegal if used to circumvent access to a restricted WiFi access point etc.

Many industrial routers and some commercial routers come with an OS that allows it's mac address to be changed, some networks are setup to require it to be changed. Apple has some products that randomise their mac addresses. Many NIC cards come with blank mac address parts in order for a company to alter their identification for easier management.

Z3C Mac address can be changed, but forgot the way to do it.

I often changed my Z3Cs mac address in the past, by altering a file, forgot which one, whatever you do, please write down your original mac address first.

Be careful, Some of the automated mac changing apps on play store have weird permissions and access other things too, like access to accounts, contacts, phone number and identification...

So, that app2sd guide requires an unlocked bootloader to install modified version of supersu and in a later post you've abandoned adoptable storage because upgrading roms will cause a partition corruption, what's a good option for user with a locked bootloader on MM?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
OOo, there is no partition corruption when upgrading roms, adoptable storage works fine, it's just that the Sony Camera app can't work with it, that's why I needed semi-adoptable storage for the Camera to work. I actually enjoyed adoptable storage. Once I got the DRM fix to work for the Sony Camera app, I shifted to External Sd as semi-adoptable is not awesome like the superior adoptable storage was.

I have no ideas what an alternative would be?

Have you tried app2sd from the play store?

I myself have never tried app2sd, that's why I hadn't realised that guide asked for an unlocked bootloader (I wouldn't do that)

I wished link2sd would just work, it was truly awesome..

A.R.I.S.E.Exodus™.9.9.8-11 Z3C SLiMM1.9 SU2.74 Xf85 AdvStKernel
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] gr8st:
Thanks for clarifying. So with full adoptable storage, you're not able to save captured images to the SD? Sounds dreadful. You're drm issues were unlocked bootloader related I assume?

I'm not advertising but "pry-fi" by chainfire works at first but at next restart it destroys Mac and I can't connect to any WiFi, means If I turn it off I must uninstall it and reboot and install again so I can turn it on again( cuz using it always sucks battery and chainfire said himself)

The Ip link command works on other devices but not on Z3C and I don't know why...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
This is really annoying, but in a file within system somewhere, you can set the default mac address, but it's been a really long time ago, I have no idea where to write it, or Wether I am recalling it wrongfully and it was in combo with another app...

There was actually a good app for this, just a sec.

Well then Im really looking towards your answer if you know..thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Put your phone in airplane mode

Use root explorer to find /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0

make a copy of this before you do anything.

edit the file with the MAC address you want.

Reboot.

Edit: I've not tried this, but that is where your MAC address is registered.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yeah, do what Didgesteve told you to do, yes, that's the file...

I made the mistake of not keeping a record or backing up that file of my address, and took me ages and ages to figure it out, most info apps just tell you the address from that file instead of actually knowing...

I believe that most of these mac address apps just write to that file.

The one I used to use, now looks way too spammy for my tastes...

In Xposed there's 'Phone Id Changer Free' I haven't tried it, but may try it when I'm in the mood, last time was enough, ?

It's true that the establishment has started to rely on this address alone.

Once again, Backup that file, and write down a copy before doing anything else. Will save you lots of possible stress down the road.

Once bitten twice shy.

No only install the full rom. OTA is Over The Air actualization or upgrade so yo dont need it if you flash the full rom
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Do you have root installed? Check SuperSU is up to date.

So you run	Z3C_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr.zip from your PC not your phone, this first flash gives you a version 2 compatible with MM. If you get that to work then you don't really need the latest 3.0.2.

Locked bootloader won't stop you getting recovery.

Don't go flashing random kernel builds until you are sure you know what you are doing. AdvStKernel is for unlocked bootloaders only.

Hi,

I try all install full, clear.

But what I got problem in all Mm version is microphone. If I call all is good. But if someone call me they don't hear me. " sometimes start hear me after 10 - 30 sec or never" and no difference if I pickup and enable headphone "audio output"

Also I try disable microphone noise and enable no different.

If I call in messager or Skype or another app it was no problem.

Did someone same problem?

Is actually all MM version.

Im now in slim 5.0 and there isn't that problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] s3bish:
I am guessing you didn't read my post ;) My SimCard is not detected anymore, my SDCard works fine. Never mind :)

Right now I tested it with other roms already and I have a hardware issue. I think my simcardslot is gone and already mailed a shop if they can repair it.

Ok, now I have a question. Are you able to play videos taken from camera and stored on SD card?(using SD card as external storage, not adoptable storage)

I was using Concept Rom and it had an issue with videos, pictures were ok though. So it was the same case with Official MM.

But as I saw there were fixes on both roms for SD card, I'm curious whether it'll work using the SD as external storage, as I don't want to format it as adoptable for the sake of using my SD with different devices.

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fattymcdirty:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:

I updated to this Rom from an old stock based lollipop Rom (debloated, pre-rooted etc) and I seem to have lost the ability to find a 4G connection. Other than that a great Rom.

I know you're having problems with this build, but I don't think it's a rom problem or someone would have said something before. Do you have many apps that have 'camera' permissions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tomy159:
Ya I read this before and few more web is well that help in Ver. 5 not in 6. I don't have Google or Google voice I uninstall when I read that first.

There is problem just if someone call me. If I call that work perfect. In incoming calls they don't hear me or they start hear me after few sec.

No change if I put headphone or normal if I disable and enable mic. And etc. If I call by Skype or another app that work good.

Strange is if Im only who got that problem?
