This is how i do :

(Unlocked Bootloader required warning)

First go to TWRP > wipe > advanced >

select Dalvik / Art Cache

System

Cache

Data

Internal Storage

And swipe to wipe

after :

Go back and Swipe to Factory Reset (don't think this is usefull but not an expert)

after :

Flash Slimm 3.8

after :

Flash EliteKernel v3

and now reboot

On first start Google ask you your Account, do it but you will say no to restore application from your account !

Play store will update some applications so lets do it.

After this, now go to play store to upgrade SuperSU because without update SuperSU do not want to unroot your z3c !

After following this instructions go to TWRP and start on

Hi!

I have the same issue (connecting to Polar H7 trough Bluetooth Smart).

Thank goodness for Google search

"To factory reset the H7 so that it can re-pair with your phone properly take out the battery and take a paperclip to short the two battery tabs on the unit for 1-2 seconds. One tab is the copper colored center one and one is a very small silver one on the side. Simply take a paper clip and short these two for a couple of seconds, replace your battery and voilà — it will show up again to pair with your phone."

I've tried every setting. From 3G to LTE and yes, of course I had the mobile data on. I did search the forums and found the creator posting some file called APNfix.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Sounds like something messed up in the APN settings, Did you flash slim rom over different build?

My next suggestion would have been a factory reset, this would probably have fixed it, as the settings get downloaded and set up from scratch.

Glad you found the solution and thanks for posting the fix, maybe this could help someone else.

I was on a stock rom and then flashed this Slimm rom. I followed the instructions to do wipes after installation. I'll try and factory reset.

I am afraid this is a common hardware problem with the touchscreen (the hitbox in the lockscreen is bigger, therefore you do not notice it there yet). You'll find many entries in the Q&A thread about this topic. Short summary: digitizer needs to be replaced (hopefully under warranty).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sydrox:
Well, last time I tried it I bricked my device and had to send it to Sony to fix it. They basically sent me an entirely new unit.

I assume I bricked it because I attempted to install the recovery on a rather low battery(30%ish).

Another reason for the brick might be the fact that I had a different IMEI than the one the recovery was made with.

The question is could that be the reason?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Ticklefish:
I wouldn't have thought so. I had issues with my old Xperia Z a few years ago and Sony ended up replacing it. I was able to restore a CWM nandroid backup made on the old device onto the new one with no trouble at all.

I suspect your issue may have been caused by your battery level.

I'd like to report my findings. So I have never been able to use my mobile data on this rom, regardless of all the settings that I have tried. I even did a factory reset, flashed the rom again to no avail. I went back to a stock rom and mobile data works perfect. Something in the rom doesn't want to work with my phone and not let my use my mobile data. I've got a Australian D5833 with Virgin Mobile as my provider if that helps.

Factory reset from within your 5.1 build.

Restart to recovery

Flash full Slim rom

Don't restore any system or Google apps from previous build.

Where possible download apps from playstore, try to not bring any app data across from old build as it seems to be connected to play services battery drain.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader, works perfectly on stock.

No need for special kernel.

There's a guide to getting rid of play service battery drain, but it seems to start after the install process if done incorrectly.

What other battery savers apart from Greenify are you guys using?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Hmmm, doriandiaconu, what up.

For me, just the usual, nothing new:

Using 'simple system monitor' to see what is vagrancing and loitering on my phone, then 'Greenify' (whitelisted in Doze), 'Ice Box' (especially for Facebook and co, and also for disabling apps), and 'Disableservices' their arses..

*Do not use Ice Box Magisk zip, you will be forced to do a factory reset (twice) as it Fc's systemui, I have politely complained, and asked for an uninstaller, no feedback as yet.

Turned off all Google Syncs, and 3rd party backups and syncs, and google, android admin stuff.

Amplify default settings (but I don't think it does anything, I'm not an amplify nerd, but I allow it to sit on its arse.

Me, Battery between 40-80%, (or not, but never lower) just like the electric cars. (100% is ok for large aircraft avionics, but they have an extreme low amp charge of 100, 10 and 1 and cuts off at 100%, not even an extra 1 amp is allowed, as battery failure/stall is feared in flight, possibly the cause of two disasters. Or just use Sony's battery optimisation (settings/system/status) does both approx. And just charge the sucker willy nilly, If not so battery discipline inclined as I)

Yeah, I slept last night, woke up, only a few percent were lost and so I had no battery drain from Google Play Services (Both 10.0.77 and 10.0.84)

And I'm using a ton of 3rd party services too (14)..

**wrote this for everyone of course, as I'm sure none of this is new to doriandiaconu

Hi to all.

I use SLIMM rom since version 2.3.

Recently I updated to 3.8 and I'm really happy of how it runs.

Sadly I noticed my screen is peeling off, this causes black screen during calls due to proximity sensor malfunctioning.

I guess I should bring my phone in a Sony Center but I don't know if, with SLIMM rom (and root) installed, my warranty is still valid.

Is it?

Somewhere on the web I also read Sony said that if the phone went over 40°C during its life (ambient, i suppose!) warranty is invalid. How can I check this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kanzar:
If taking it for warranty, just flash stock and ensure drm keys are restored (if you did bl unlock).

As for ambient, nfi...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Using flashtool, restore full stock firmware, with full wipe. Then get recovery for your device either by russel5's method(LB), or by my method(for UB). Then factory reset again and install full Slimm

I hope you backed up the DRM keys if you did a BL unlock. If you didn't, then you're probably out of luck there. That, and if you're doing a warranty return to Sony, BL unlock from their website might mean your IMEI is already flagged... although physical lifting can't be blamed on BL unlock right?!

As for returning to stock, the first bit about using Flashtool and a stock ftf is what you need to follow.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Tidus1988:
Well, the only thing I did was to install SLIMM rom.

I'm not sure if this unlock the BL :rolleyes:

That wouldn't have unlocked bl, so I think you're safe. Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool.

Power Naps cool, I use it on an old phone, but a real pain to use, yes, it's like Lollipop's Stamina but add to blacklist, instead of add to whitelist. It's more annoying to use, than Dozes whitelist.

But...

Power Nap =< Greenify Aggressive Doze + Marshmallows Doze Whitelist

So Power Nap is not really that necessary as Greenify's heaps easier to use and it's fully automated... With Greenify you can still receive messages on a hibernated app, eg. Telegram, whereas Power Nap cannot...

AppOpsXposed is an excellent privacy tool, but is extra awesome for an example when a Chinese app decides to vibrate everytime for notifications, and it has no way or settings to disable the vibrate, where AppOpsXposed can be used to disable the vibration and stuff per app...

Does anyone else has a problem with WiFi disconnecting when sleep/screen off? I've done some googling and it seems like a Marshmallow problem but I haven't experienced it before (I've done a fresh install recently).

Just after a minute or so since screen is off, WiFi is disconnected. I've got WiFi set to be Always on and tried legacy DHCP and static IP - nothing helps. Also there is no Google Connectivity Service in Xperia ROMs, as some tips said to block in Doze blacklist.

Battery drain/Stamina not working

Hi Guys,

thanks for the great work and effort you put into this.

I am just "a user" but can imagine, that it is quite a lot work.

I have a meanwhile rooted Z3 Compact D5803 with SLiMM 3.8.

I was on .291 stock rom and flashed back and forth to get .575 following a German translated guide based on Recovery & Root for MM .575 & .291 LB. Initially I just wanted to root my phone.

As I got stuck in that process (root was missing), but had TWRP already installed, I decided to flash the prerooted SLiMM instead found here: [ROM][6.0.1|STOCK][D5803|D5833] 23.5.A.1.291 SLiMM 3.8 by Wajk.

That was nearly two days ago. Flashing SliMM worked fine, but I am having issues with the battery - STAMINA mode does not seem to work/run (no matter if I choose to autostart it or to run it always.

Before I flashed the battery had enough power for > 5 days. Now I am running out of power after one day with the same/similar usage.

I just read in an older post, that STAMINA icon has been removed from status bar, so maybe it is on, but working other then expected.

Do you have similar issues and maybe even a solution?

---------- Post added 8th November 2016 at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was 7th November 2016 at 11:51 PM ----------

might have found the answer on my own - STAMINA has been replaced/improved by Doze.

But then I find "enhanced Stamina mode" listed under features on the first page as a a bit confusing

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Wajk:
Goood for You. :)

Thanks for Your report! Great to hear that!

If you don't know, You didn't unlock BL (not required for SLiMM).

Just simple flash any stock FTF using FlashTool.

I use it as always and Working right. I added fix ip to my device in Router's settings at home. Did you tried it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Davka:
Yes, I've always had IP address assigned for my Xperia's MAC. This behavior changed after factory reset and fresh SliMM install (my phone was in Sony repair service due to broken back glass). It's very irritating - I will try another factory reset after SliMM 3.9 release from you :)

Also there is a lot of people having this behavior on multiple phone models but always when using Marshallow. It looks like Doze is "dozing" a WiFi service. Do you know what service is doing WiFi on your ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] romcio47:
Does automatic "Do not disturb" mode work well for you?

My phone starts my mode (every workday night is silent) at 11 p.m. but even if it's set to stop at 4:30 a.m. the next day, it does not turn "do not disturb" mode off so even when I wake up at 5 a.m. the phone is still silent and I have to manually turn the "do not disturb" mode off using volume keys and pressing the button on volume bar.
