Sony says that the latest update allows to setup recovery but I got nowhere. On to it, I flashed 6.0.1 firmware, installed the latest update with Sony's 'Flash_tool_for_Xperia_8', all went well but I saw so mention of TA update and then failed multiple times to get into recovery. So now I'm reinstalling Paranoid Android. Good luck when you try, I'd interested to see how you get on :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I couldn't flash CM12 over PA leading to a softbrick. Flashed official Sony firmware using Flashtool.

Now I'm trying out PA 6.0.2 to check how their update process goes to 6.0.3. If it works I'll stay with PA, if not I'm going back to CM.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Here's Cyanogenmod's wiki for SGP611 https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_scorpion_windy I'm a Linux user so I'll leave to you to find out with Google how to install the Android SDK.

I've also have unlocked my bootloader so this is how I install Cyanogenmod over PA or stock in terminal in Linux or command line in Windows. I also prefer TWRP over Cyanogenmod's recovery but you can ignore that command.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img.img

fastboot reboot

While the device reboots, press the Volume rockers a few times to load recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I'm a linux only user too ;)

PA runs pretty well and could be used as a daily driver it seems. But so far I couldn't find a way to keep it up to date. Installed twrp then PA 6.0.2 for update testing and the 6.0.3 update is not available for OTA update. Recovery seems to have gone also and so there's no way to dirty flash PA 6.0.3 over 6.0.2. Anyone with an idea?

I guess I'll go back to CM12.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
Thanks, that gave me the hint. Now I'm back to CM12 with twrp revocery (after fixing partition layout with flashtool and stock firmware). I guess PA could be installed the same way keeping the recovery alive.

What I did:

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img

That's the only step I did and it worked to enter twrp with a straight boot and let me install PA without the 2nd step - not sure if necessary at all, PA will probably overwrite boot partion, that twrp was gone after PA install.

What should probably be the better way:

* fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img
* fastboot reboot

While the device reboots, press the Volume rockers a few times to load recovery

full wipe from recovery and install PA, Gapps and SuperSU

If this would keep the recovery working it should also allow dirty flashing updates and Nandroid backups and restore. I guess PA doesn't support OTA updates so far.

I guess there's some confusion about the different partition layout and boot process Sony does compared to common (Nexus) devices where boot is the kernel and recovery partition is what it's called - the recovery. I couldn't find a good summary about Sonys special partion scheme so far. That "FOTAKernel" partion name was pretty new to me. I haven't seen it in the recovery threads here in this Sony forum lately..

Is it right that a Sony device after Power button boots the kernel from boot partition into the system and only when hitting a volume button goes booting from the FOTAKernel partion? Does anyone have a good link with a summary what Sony does different than Google partioning?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
The FOTAKernel or FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) is a memory area which Sony reserves for OTA updates but is left unused when you unlock your bootloader (no more Sony over-the-air updates). http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/development/recovery-cwm-twrp-recoveries-custom-roms-t3016507 Presumably that's where Sony will install their recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Since I lose TWRP recovery when I install Paranoid Android I'll have to switch to Cyanogenmod 12.1 for while :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
I guess you won't lose it when installing twrp to FOTAKernel partition instead of boot.

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Wifi mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Paranoid Android doesn't seem to able to talk with recovery in the FOTAKernel partition or is corrupted in some way because I've flashed twrp to the FOTAKernel after installing Paranoid Android and ended up in a bootloop when trying to use twrp.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
I followed tomgus1 instructions exactly, tablet booted fine. Then I made my first attempt to enter recovery which resulted in a bootloop. Then I re-flashed TWRP and reattempted to enter recovery which resulted in another bootloop. So I guess Paranoid Android's kernel on the Z3 Tablet Compact may be incompatible with TWRP or any recovery.

Note: The flash command to flash TWRP directly to FOTAKernel is unnecessary, the normal command works fine - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Since I don't believe in coincidences, I wonder if the error I get during the install of Paranoid Android is the cause of my broken TWRP recovery - this error doesn't occur with CM12. The error is '-Backing up installed apps mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system at /system: Device or resource busy'
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] DerJamster:
I'm experiencing the same issues with TWRP and the new PA 6.* on the Z3 Tablet.

At least I found a way to do dirty flashes with an already installed PA without *too* much of a hassle:

1) Connect the tablet to your PC in fastboot mode

2) fastboot flash boot <your TWRP Image here> (Yes, "boot", not "recovery" or "FOTAKernel")

3) Boot the tablet and it loads TWRP without any special keypresses.

4) Do your dirty flash and reboot.

Repeat the whole thing for every new dirty flash.

...I really hope they fix this issue soon. :|
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
To keep using PA (PA's kernel needs a fix?), I have to flash the CM12.1 kernel in fastboot, then flash my stuff i want in twrp (wipe caches after) and then reflash the PA kernel with fastboot.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] faldo:
I gave up on PA for now, battery drain is just crazy :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Hi faldo, what are you using instead? Stock?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] faldo:
I use CM 12.1, TWRP 3.0.2.0, SU 2.78, oGapps nano, on an unlocked SPG611 and loose about 2-5% a day with wifi on standby... much better than about 30-50% with PA.

I know, i could have tried to troubleshoot the problem with log-cats but unfortunatly i don't have time right now, just needed a stable rom.

Is there a special TWRP to use with this? When I installed this ROM it ate my FOTAKernel twrp. I've tried reinstalling twrp but I can't get anything but a bootloop and an orange light after hitting the up vol on the pink light. I have to boot into fastboot to break the bootloop.

Very quick question: i have N910F no brand with Android 4.4.4.

Can i skip mid-updates (like update to lollipop that OTA want to force me) and directly flash the new 6.0.1 with ODIN?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Yes, you can skip from Kitkat 4.4.4 directly to the latest version of Marshmallow 6.0.1 by installing it manually. It will not trip Knox as you are installing stock Samsung firmware onto your device.

Busted my Moto, had to fall back to my trusty E980...

I can't use CM based ROMs because I rely heavily on BT and camera and both are a bit wonky in CM...

I've got a setup right now that I'm happy with (Henry Pham's excellent ROM) + Xposed, but it still charges pretty slow. I'm using a powerful charger- an Aukey 40W 8AMP (2.4a per port) and decent USB cables... my LG still takes far longer than my other devices to charge.

So, is there a 5.0.x ROM that does NOT charge super slow? Or is there a kernel or patch I don't know about?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Spaqin:
You might have to enable quick charging. In my SlimLP the option is in Kernel Adiutor app, in battery settings. Before that, the phone could take only 500mA, but with that enabled - 1500mA.

Hello, I've done quite a bit of searching, both on xda-developers and in the web at large (including the Xposed repository), but couldn't find a solution. Here's my question.

It's easy enough to change WhatsApp's notification sound, but it seems impossible to change the soft notification sound that announces a new message in an open chat. Apparently, this sound is the same on all phones, so when one person in a room gets a message, all people in the room hurry to check their WhatsApp. Is there a way to change THAT sound? It must be hardcoded, but perhaps I could replace the soundfile itself? I was hoping there would be some Xposed module to take care of this, but I couldn't find anything. Anyone here knows how to deal with this nuisance?

so its either

oh see this post too.

http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/help/mystery-data-taking-10gb-space-t3435176

misc files seems to be generated by the Camera app (I use OpenCamera, so that's probably why I don't have this "misc" data)

--------------------- other reasons -----------------

1. you are installing big APK files that don't use obb files (normally amazon app store uses these types, possibly other app stores), so all the big data gets written to the /data/data/ or /data/app dir taking up space.

2. system backups from twrp or similar can eat a lot of space. this could be why it's listed as system data

3. install sdmaid see if it finds anything abnormal.

4. (unlikely) you have a lot of apps installing to the "Internal Memory" - android thinks it's a sdcard - these apps are hidden under /mnt/sdcard0/.android_secure

(mounted with a fake mount point to prevent access, also a hidden folder) so you can't modify apps or view contents - try uninstalling apps to see if size changes.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprachverkennung:
Hi,

I've a Z1 Compact running on latest version of CM 12.1.

Now I wonder if there's the chance to flash a new version for baseband?

In the settings I see I'm still on version 39 (8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270045-39).

I know there's the possibility to return to Stock Firmware thus updating also the baseband (currently version 81 in latest stock version 14.6.A.1.236 / R5D, for O2 Germany)

I've already downloaded Stock firmware (via XperiFirm.exe) and checked if dedicated flashable baseband file is contained, but I couldn't identify one.

So installing stock firmware and flashing back to Cyanogenmod is quite a huge efford for only updating the baseband version.

Is there an easier way to do so? Is there a source where to download an up to date baseband file?

Thanks and regards,
