[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Ahmed_HM:
dumb question it may be. but, does this support the dual sim variant ?

also i hear this release has a screen flickering issue, is that true ?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tomgus1:
I don't have a dual SIM device to test this but it may only work with one SIM.

As for the flickering some users have experienced this but for the mass majority they haven't. If you follow the flashing instructions all should be okay.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Ahmed_HM:
one SIM would be enough for me, i'm gonna test it soon and report back.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Moiremoi:
Can we have some screen shot of the rom please ? ^^

And, also, is the camera taking good photos (without distortion, some noise canceling, or other things...) ?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mavelos:
i'll like to know if this supports the Z3 Dual
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PauloHHB:
ROM work pretty fine, but for some reason, i can't recharge my phone.

When i'm on Computer the USB connects, says it's chargind and then nothing happens.

PS:It recharges on recovery.

(Sorry for bad English, not my main language)

Edit:Reinstalled the ROM and then just got back working, so the ROM is working flawlessly.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Ahmed_HM:
unfortunately this rom doesn't support Z3 Dual, i hope there will be a patch for d6633 soon.

although it's smooth, very stable, and i faced no screen flickering, the camera was dark and so were the pictures i took.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MarcoReckless:
I have screen flickering on the boot animation and it bootloops (I made it boot for around 20 minutes).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] John5788:
Camera is ok on this ROM? Or still have same fisheye bug?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MarcoReckless:
Nope, still has the fisheye bug since Sony won't release the drivers..
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MarcoReckless:
For those who get extreme flickering/glitchy screen:

enable gpu rendering and re-wipe cache and dalvik
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nonperson:
On D6653 screen flicker and glitches made ROM unusable (tried GPU rendering as mentioned above but no change). Also no NFC, constantly switched on and off.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Urban Crown:
Your D6653 can turn on WIFI? I can`t turn on WIFI...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Zox09:
This didn't work for me, sadly. Tried everything said in the OP and even tried this one to but for no avail, the screen glitches are still there every few seconds.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nonperson:
Yes, wifi worked fine.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MarcoReckless:
Did you do that on 6.0.2 or 6.0.3?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Zox09:
Oh, didn't know there was a new build. Is it fixed in 6.0.3?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] juliopw:
Except for the camera bugs, seems to be stable. I've read somewhere about Sony releasing new sources for camera. Are these new sources used in this ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tomgus1:
You are correct in that Sony will be releasing new binaries for camera and this is indeed what we are using for PA on Sony. However this work will take time, but we will in the end have Nexus like support for Sony devices.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Cirra92:
That's what we are waiting for, Nexus like support :highfive:

However due to that nasty reversed fish-eye people just gave up, since Sony didn't release proper binaries and blobs. Lets see if that gets fixed with those releases.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] juliopw:
Yeah. Making the camera work properly seems to be the biggest difficulty in developing for the Z3C. I will test every build and give feedback. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] snaky90:
[MENTION=3544838]tomgus1[/MENTION] thanks for the rom !!

[MENTION=5946776]juliopw[/MENTION] source about new camera blobs ? Thanks !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] juliopw:
[MENTION=2369614]snaky90[/MENTION] Can't remember where I saw it. Only found this old post. Sorry. I will look into it again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] optic-XPERIA:
I have a lot of problems with this rom! Sometimes I have lag and my phone has randoms reboots. The camera worked at the first time with a very bad quality. Now I can not acces to the camera because I got a error code.

Please fix this problems
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
[MENTION=945990]TomG[/MENTION]us 1 hi I can't find your sources on the official PA repository. Are you using the sony open devices repos for device tree etc?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tomgus1:
Hi, for the reboots etc this is a kernel issue. Currently we are using the 1.2.2 branch from sonyxperiadev which has an issue with vidc/iommu. This is fixed in the 1.3.3 branch but currently Camera is not yet supported. Once support is added we will move over. I can confirm that it is fixed as I am currently running from that branch at the sacrifice of no camera.

For your current camera issue please try a reboot or going into recovery and wiping dalvik/cache and trying again. Had this happen once and a reboot fixed it.

We are using Sony Open Devices repositories for all Sony Devices as seen in our dependency files.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Thanks for the reply, that is an almighty dependency list :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tomgus1:
More than I'd like but Sony has some cross-overs with Nexus which causes incompatibility.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] STiAT:
As reported on G+ here a short sum-up after a week of usage PA on z3c.

Installation broken

Installation expects the getprop("ro.product.device") to be "aries", but mine was z3c, therefore failing. Had to edit the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to get it working (exchange "aries" with "z3c").

Tim: Fixed for next release.

Voice Calling volume not changable (very loud)

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GeorgGrabler/posts/FY9xZZuHMde

Tim: No fix yet.

Voice calling crashes most of the time (beeping or no sound at all), rebooting / locking up the phone (huge issue, makes the ROM unusable for me now)

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GeorgGrabler/posts/GF2Eac9xtcn

Tim: Fixed next release.

NFC broken

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GeorgGrabler/posts/iejmnYxSDkh

Tim: Can't reproduce.

=> Got a log of me because he can't reproduce it. Maybe that will help (does not happen if you have a USB attached).

Log at: http://pastebin.com/brZiHsky

Fast Charge not working

https://plus.google.com/+GeorgGrabler/posts/7kKjXJDKQB7

Tim: Will never work, not part of Sony AOSP.

=> Sad, but ok :).

Camera issues

Well known, we'll have to see how the open drivers get along over time. They got better in the past, but still there are issues.

I sometimes even get "could not connect to camera" after making a picture.

Can't use the rom for production until the calling issue is solved.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] optic-XPERIA:
bad news: My recovery was deleted by aospa
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] STiAT:
recovery isn't touched by aospa. You can't use the standard adb commands to get to recovery though, you have to use the "hardware method".

If your recovery is really gone, just re-flash it, that's not a big issue.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Just wanted to add: AOSPA team and Tim - great work there. It looks like we could get a really usable rom some time soon (though, the volume highness will still be an annoyance if it can't be fixed :D).

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Last but not least, thanks PA team for all the work and effort. I may not be able to use the ROM yet, even though, I'd love to. You have been and are doing great work, and I hope you'll manage to bring us a good AOSP(A) image some day (rather sooner than later if you ask me :D).

Don't take my reports and disappointment as a grain of salt but constructive feedback.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] filou76:
[MENTION=3544838]tomgus1[/MENTION] : Calling volume sound had already been a problem in CM12.1 sometime in 2015. Was solved then. Maybe you can find some useful infos over CM JIRA:

the new version 6.0.3 is already working with the camera?

I found a little time on the site and the AOSP rom has a new version 6.0.3, someone already tested the camera is working?

http://get.aospa.co/official/aries
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] STiAT:
Camera is working, but still the same bad quality. We have to wait for the opensource drivers to get better. Sony is working on this, but it's still a long road ahead as it seems.

Lock-Ups have been fixed, the voice issue (speakers / loud uncontrollable voice level during calls) isn't (yet).

Successfully flash it on my SPG21 via TWRP ;)

Problem :D :

sim not detected (no imei)

camera cant capture anything

Any solution :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] augustinleman:
These are common known problems that PA is working on. A fix is expected in a next release of the rom.

I guess those issues should be mentionned in the Rom description.

Sorry I cannot help.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tomgus1:
SIM will be fixed in the next release. This was due to missing modem blobs but these have now been added and will be present in the next release.

Camera: Can you please try different resolutions and maybe a different camera app. I don't personally own a Z3 Tablet so can't fully check for this device.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ipharus:
Finally unlocked and flashed a custom rom on my new tablet.

Great to be back to bare android, the bloat was really getting a P in the A :angel:

Still getting the hang of flashing on xperia, as i'm used to samsung and nexus devices.

But i think i got it right this time, all seems to be running smooth.

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] augustinleman:
Until a fix gets released you can try this xposed module that allows you to edit your imei: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/hijack-suite-t3429770

Best is probably to put your own imei that should be on your phone box. I hope it will make your phone useable in the meantime.

anyone else has sd card corruption? aftery every reboot the external sd is corrupted. on stock rom and cm12.1 it is working fine.

when i flash the lastest rom,TWRP warns my SGP621 is z3 rather than Scorpion and flashing failed.The TWRP works well when i flash cm and stock rom.

I don't know why the error happened。

Please help me,thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] REundo:
[/COLOR]

It caused by flashing the wrong recovery img. Happend to me once when the TWRP warns my SPG21 as a Scorpion_windy and failed to flash the PA scorpion. Solve by flashing the correct twrp img. U can find it here http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-v2-8-6-0-f2fs-z1-z1c-z2-z3-z3c-t3098573 or here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4996503000517182028 :)

Tried it but not working. Hijack suite detect my imei as null, i assume imei can't be edited if the imei didn't exist right :confused: and yep i tried put my own imei and few random imei. reboot a few times and no miracles happend. I glad i tried tho :) Thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

I tried few camera app like ProShot & Better Camera. Both app works well like auto focus, zoom... but it can't save the captured images. :confused: i guess it can't access the storage media ??

ps: i have rewrote these replies because accidentally mess up delete all replies (sorry if u got multiple emails)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sh0nuff:
Where/What is the " OFFICIAL STOCK ROM" mentioned in the previous step? I haven't installed TWRP on my device yet because I was waiting for a 6+ ROM like this one, so I'll be coming from 100% stock. Does it refer to a stock Sony ROM that's flashed?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tomgus1:
Yeah, Official Stock is Sony Stock ROM

+Tim Graham​ for Z3 Tablet Compact we need this commit for camera to work https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/de...mmit/16753458e20ea7b55bcb2e9333465f5e1310c530
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sh0nuff:
Perfect, that's what I figured

Yep, thanks for the quote, I read this guide, I wanted to confirm that the ROM was 6.0.1 stock, as the Scorpion LTE ROM looks scarily small at ~350mb. Cheers.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tomgus1:
This is largely due to there being the bare minimum of apps pre-installed. You'll want to install a Gapps package from here for access to Google Play etc.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ckyy:
Can you guys add a recovery to the rom? It's such a pain in the ass to first flash another kernel, boot recovery, flash your stuff and reflash the kernel again. It's even worse when something goes wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ipharus:
Yes, that would be really great if not to difficult.

But no issue if not, love the rom!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sh0nuff:
Great! I had that bookmarked from when I did my Nexus 6p..

Is there a good place to find the latest stock ROM thats TWRP flashable?? I haven't been able to find anything more recent than 5.1.1 in all the root threads.

Edit: NM, found it here.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] krissztyoon:
Can anyone help me with finding a flashable root zip file? :) don't know where to look for it :angel: thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] augustinleman:
The method is described there: http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/general/tutorial-stock-android-marshmallow-6-0-t3409486

At the end of post #1 there is a link where you can download the latest Sony rooted stock file.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] krissztyoon:
Thanks, after finding the zip file I tried to boot into recovery but since then my tab just reboots itself all the time after Sony logo, don't know why. I can't even turn the device off cause the back case is not removable, can't remove the battery. Anyone having any idea what happened to it? :/
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] augustinleman:
I did not manage to have recovery again after flashing AOSPA.

Can you tell me which kernel did you flash to have recovery back?

Cheers.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

You probably are in a bootloop.

1) Long press the power button until the screen goes black

2) Press power button and volume up until you sense a vibration. The tablet is now off

3) Flash a tft stock file through Flashtool in flashmode to go back to stock version. You can find the tft file to flash in the XperiFirm (black round button with XF written on it in Flashtool). I advise you to go for an old version such as 23.0.1.A.0.167 that you can root easily through Kingroot.

Good luck

Hope it helps

http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/orig-development/kernel-m5-kernel-t3289175

I had to flash this kernel in fastboot, then flash my stuff i want in twrp and then reflash the PA kernel with fastboot.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] augustinleman:
Thanks for the info.

It says that you have to extract the modules file and move all files to /system/lib/modules then set permission of all the files you moved to 644 to avoid bootloop. Did you follow this procedure or did you skip it ?

Cheers

will this rom be updated with a working recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MagnusT:
It seems like the version for SGP611 has been removed from listings on the official website. I've been having problems with random reboots and using 5 GHz wifi, so I'm not surprised. Are there any news about why it has been removed or does anyone know if there is going to be any updates in the future?

I really like the rom when it's working and hope to use it in the future when it's more stable.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] l.m.prowse:
I've just got this up and running, its working great thank you! However is there a way to get google play movies to work, it keeps saying playback isn't supported on this device.

Thanks :)

EDIT:

After some research it appears to be a problem with the widevine DRM libraries, but seeing as our device has official 6.0.1 it shouldn't be hard to get it to work, however I have no idea how to :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] faldo:
Heya,

Thanx for an exelent rom, clean and unbloated is a rare comodity, i just love it!

I'm runing the SPG611 and I thought i'd contribute with a few supplementary/clarified steps and links to the files that i used.

Before setting off flashing i downloaded a few tools:

- Flashtool: A great tool and a must-have for all Sony device owners. This multitool does flashing, bootloader unlock, root, apk-install, recovery etc. it even downloads stock firmware.

Link: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

- ADB and Fastboot: Gets you command access to your device, every "android tinker" should have them.

Link: https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

- TWRP: Recovery image.

Link: https://dl.twrp.me/scorpion_windy/

- Gapps: Google apps, i used nano package.

Link: http://opengapps.org/

- SuperSU: Optional but recommended :)

Link: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu

This is how i installed AOSPA:

1. Installed Flashtool, i had to turn off drivers signing in Windows 10, otherwise the Sony fastboot drivers wouldn't install (just google it if needed).

2. Unlocked bootloader using Flashtool, it's a hazzle to do later since it wipes the system partition.

3. Downloaded and flashed the latest stock ROM using Flashtool in my case it was the SGP611_23.5.A.1.291_1290-0168_R4D.ftf.

4. Flashed TWRP with fastboot: fastboot flash boot twrp.img

5. Booted TWRP, wiped system, data, cache and dalvik cache.

6. Flashed ROM, Gapps and SuperSU

Holler if you need more details, i'd be happy to help :)

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I'm thinking about trying it out. I'm currently running CM12 without no major bugs except some rare reboots probably Bluetooth related. Camera is of poor quality.

Can I straight install trwp+PA? Is there anything not working well?

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Wifi mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] faldo:
Heya, yes, i'm used to adb so i installed TWRP with CLI but i'm guessing Flashtool uses the same method if you prefer that. You might get away with installing PA on top of CM without a system wipe but i would recommend using Titanium backup instead and install PA on a clean slate.

The only "bug" i've found so far is that BT takes a minute to activate once you push the slider... but after that, BT itself seems to work fine.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I could menage to install PA. Installed official TWRP , it rebooted straight into that recovery - it seems it had fully removed CM. Then installed PA, pico OpenGapps and SuperSU (all stored at the sdcard) via TWRP . The reboot into PA. The TWRP recovery is now gone.

Should I stay at that stage and live with PA with no custom recovery? How will it update itself?

Is there a better recovery with the PA kernel available or is there now even a full recovery/repartioning scheme available to drop that kernel/recovery bundle thing?

Is PA basic stock AOSP now? I've never used it before. I thought they add at least a few features according to their website. I miss some customization options for reboot menu, navbar and such stuff. Beside stock we have CM12 and PA now working.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] faldo:
I have the same issue, either PA installed its own GUI-less recovery or TWRP just won't work with the PA kernel *shrug*

I'm currently looking at other kernels and see if i can get TWRP back somehow without breaking PA.

*Edit* Also, how is your bettery drain? Mine seems a bit exessive :/

I thought our Z3c tablet should be able to have its separate recovery partition.
