I had this problem with the proximity sensor because my screen was seperating from the frame. My z3c is now in service and I'm waiting for it to come back. I don't think is ROM related since I didn't have the problem earlier, so it might be a hw issue

Proximity sensor can be tested in the service menu.

Sadly, pressure sensor test is missing here in 3.8. :(

Hi everybody! I would like to know if this Rom is compatible with Xposed Framework (sdk23). Thankyou.

You can use Xposed with SLiMM ROM ;)

Since today I'm having problmes with the Google Chrome App. Chrome won't start and just crash.

Uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache won't help, and now I'm out of ideas what could help me get it start again.

Yes, I just updated the steps and is a bit easier, to get Magisk v8 and Systemless opensourced Phh Root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68903627

There are many ways, without needing Magisk, but I believe the Magisk way at this moment is very useful and very easy, and it has a handy update function available, and also Phh's superuser is opensource, which is important for both our privacy and security[emoji7]

**Unlocked bootloader required

Yes you can, this will only wipe /system/ directory, and will leave your data intact.

Of course you will have to flash the Full version as the firmware version has changed.

[emoji7]

You may experience weirdness,

I strongly suggest that afterwards you use an app like 'SD Maid' from the play store to clean up any temporary mess that may have transpired or left behind etc. ...

Yip, 'arm' (our device) and 'SDK23' (Marshmallow, 6.0.1) are the right ones to use...

Hahaha, yes, this can happen also with using sound mods, because sound mods change so many things and is different for every device, there are normally no uninstaller.

So re-flashing a SLiMM is quite normal to reset the /system/

So I installed this rom (3.8) coming from Slim 5.0 (5.1.1.) on my z3c d5803. No factory reset, dalvik cache reset only. I have to say this rom is excellent. Everything works better, smoother, sound speackers volume now is very high, maybe better camera, and I think better battery(?). I will test it more and I'll tell you. But now I'm very happy... And Xposed works like a charm.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
First it was a demonstration to friends at a Cafe, where I placed the phone in a glass of water, and then the series of Sony centre sagas's began, I don't even think the very last screen they gave me this time is original or new at all, covered in fingerprints (you think they could have at least cleaned it first) the colours are too bright and there's a tiny heat mark in the top corner, I should have checked that before leaving, you just expect it to be brand new?, it's Sony service centre so it's impossible to complain.

Then the second time after a month of use, the top left hand corner lifted by itself as the proximity stopped working, it took 28 days for them to receive a screen from Japan.

This time it's only been a week???

As I didn't want this to happen again, I spent a lot of money on protection and preventative measure's.

I on purpose bought special anodised aluminium raised edges bumper with rubber inside edges where the phone is suspended, impossible to bend or be touched by the bumper. Also tempered glass, lanyard cable and a cooling sleeve etc. And kept it in an uncool pouch to prevent any possibility of damage. But to no prevail.

I could feel the top left back glass raise with my fingers live!

When it's not in use its flat again, but I checked the pressure sensors to be safe, and there is zero pressure means air is somehow getting in???

I immediately was of course shocked.

Will they do it for free under the 1 month warranty, can I be bothered, will I have to pay another $200-$300 for the 4th time, or do I paste silicon glue on the edges?

They both work fine, depending on your telco's network, but sometimes it can be advantageous to use the D5833 depending on the services your network offers, as the D5833 is the only model to have the extra TD-LTE band, and that's popular in Asia.

D5833 is excellent in Asia, pacific

D5803 is excellent in EU, America

It's really just the 4g bands that can be of problem. For your place of usage, you can cross reference these, to make a deciding factor:

Mine's been overheating and experiencing abnormal battery drain for the past several months, but I know it isn't this rom because I've done clean installs, dirty flashes, repairs, and even tried other roms for a fix to no avail. The only time I get regular drain and cooler temps is when I go into safe mode (making it a dumbphone), or if I do a clean stock install with no custom tweaks whatsoever. I haven't been able to narrow down which app or mod it is that's causing this behavior. I don't think it's Xposed, but I can't say for sure because even when I start fresh and begin making my tweaks and installs one at a time per day, it comes on gradually so I'm still bewildered by the cause. Short of just going plain stock, I'm still trying to figure it out.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Definitely, when I sleep and wake up in the morning I only have 1% battery drain from being idle... And it forces Doze to act like Stamina from Lollipop, so if you use Greenify with the aggressive Doze enabled, you need to whitelist the apps (including Greenify) that you need running when the phones on standby in Battery/menu Battery Optimisation...

Then I use Simple System Monitor to view under Active Processes to see what needs to be greenified...

The DRM is already active from flashing the EliteKernel, to test it, take a photo in the dark, that has a little light, and see if low light is still working, and test the x-reality if installed. On the very rare event that it's not working, then a factory reset is required, but test first, it's usually fine...

That would be super sweet if you could! Honestly, I've learned to live with it though, I just use my phone less nowadays, which might actually be a good thing, LOL!

I've tried monitoring with Better Battery Stats, Simple System Monitor, GSAM, and Quick System Info, but can't seem to narrow down the culprit. It appears some system process might be the issue, but I don't know what's triggering it.

I've attached screenshots of the aforementioned battery monitoring apps and they all list a form of "system" as the primary drainer, and by a large margin. This is a short duration sample, but very reflective of what the profile would look like, even if I left it idle all night. Normally, I don't think the percentage usage should be that high, even Tapatalk looks higher than it should be, but I've tried uninstalling that app and the problem remains. Like I said, I've done clean installs and literally reinstalled apps one at a time, with a day's break in between, to observe the effects, but am clueless as to what the problem is.

EDITED: Scratch that, after looking at some old BBS screenshots, system cpu usage has always been around that much and while my phone would usually have about 1/2 to as little as 1/3rd the awake time with the screen off as it does now, I've had instances where it's been many times more and still never drained as fast as it does now. This revelation just means I'm even more confused than I was before.
