Edit 1:So as the tittle said, i was thinking of reverting back to 4.4...When i bought the phone , it was already on 5.0.2 and now i'm on 6.0.1 (.291 version)...As far as i'm concerned, no improvements have been done on camera from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (also, I face a bug and the last 1-2 seconds of the videos i record are frozen, and no, it's not my sd card's problem as i tried storing at my phone's storage)

The question is: Is stock camera on 4.4 better than 6.0.1?

Edit2 : I flashed 4.4 on my phone. Yes, the bug is real on 6.0.1...camera on 4.4 is almost 2 or 3 times better than 6.0.1.

Auto focus on 4.4 camera while video recording is just amazing guys...

Edit3: Flashed 6.0.1 again. The bug i described on Edit 1 dissapeared(!)

As for the video recording, on 4.4 autofocus worked automatically and really, really fast! When I'm on 6.0.1 I MUST use the camera button so as to make it work fast just like 4.4 did automatically. Hope this helps other users!

Yes 4.4 is absolutely better! In every aspects.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fictional Reality:
i switched back also...loving this phone again...everything works 10x better... i'm on .77 build of kitkat ..the final one i believe
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
Camera and video shooting at 4.4 was 10 times better than on 6.0.1. BUT i detected certain bugs (snapchat lagging, i guess it's not well optimized for 'old' android versions)

But video shooting is REALLY bad at 6.0.1 guys...is there any way to use 4.4 camera app on 6.0.1? Autofocus needs almost 15 seconds to change focus and i still haven't found how to touch focus on Sony devices while video shooting! I would really appreciate some help on these things!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
Sound on speakers is better at 6.0.1 but i think sound at headphones work better on 4.4....

I'm so confused....if only i could use Sony's 4.4 Camera app on 6.0.1! That would be great!

Ever heard of Cyberian camera? I am on latest 6.0.1 and have flashed that camera mod, and I can tell you pictures and video are a blast,

low light photography at its best, and also hdr for 4k, and lots of improvements, you just need root and latest version of sony rom (.291)

You'll need to ftf back to 4.4 if you are on 5.1 or 6.1....then you can flash recovery and then flash whatever you want...use flashtool to ftf back to stock on 4.4
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
Ahh damn! I just flashed 4.4 again... Again 10 times better photos and 5x faster autofocus on video than 6.0.1!

Thanks for your time lad!

Edit: Is 120fps REAL?! I'd really want to see a video from you and one photo outdoors late night without lights if possible! If that is easy for you then I'd be really happy!

Pretty cool photo for low light! The video quality on 120fps ain't that good i think, do you? It's the same quality like timeshift video!

Thanks for your time once again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CRO-Maher:
my bad, that was timeshift video from before cyberian

you need to count in that this is reduced quality due to automatic downgrade when uploading to onedrive
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
Sure, the photos were still very good...But i feel like i've started loving 4.4. Music on headphones is reallt,really better!

Makes it sound million times better.

Do you perhaps have rooted version of 4.4? After all your talk I am eager to try it out
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
I haven't rooted 4.4, i don't like rooting and experimenting wirh it since everything rolls just perfect.You should really give a try, specially for the camera... Video recording focuses 10 times (for real 10 times) faster than 6.0.1 (both stock unrooted without mods), and camera quality is really better!

Also, booting takes about 18 seconds only on 4.4...

If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!

Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshalpear:
For me the best ROM has been the Concept ROM. It has built-in Doze, nearly as stock as AOSP, battery life is great and it is really stable, fast. Less apps, better ROM. KitKat is great in performance but as it doesn't have Doze, it gives me less battery life cause I don't like to use Stamina mode whatsoever. I love KitKat too, but I hate KitKat's notification panel and settings icons. Concept provides you the most modern looking and one of the most stable and lightweight ROMs out there. As for the camera I use Cyberian Camera, despite it is not optimized for Concept, it is stable and better than the stock. Concept uses stock framework (same as 6.0.1) and haven't had any issues with it, also low-light processing is great!

TL; DR : Try Concept too!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
I would, but like I said i don't like to root and install recovery, since i'm still on warranty (will be until December 2017) and since stock roms work perfect for me (except video recording on 6.0.1. .291). Thanks for your reply though.

Edit: I just saw that this ROM does need only ftf file, is this rom the one you're talking about? ( http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/sonys-android-concept-marshmallow-t3229536)

Update it OTA?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CRO-Maher:
I tried 4.4, for the first two days i was clean as it gets, but the battery lasted only 3.5h of sot, camera on the other hand was just okej, colours were a bit washed out (comparing to cyberian on MM), and view finder was laggy (cyberian has smooth viewfinder-best thing for me). I also tried video recording, and it was also not that special, focusing speed was the same as it was on cyberian. So after rooting and finally deleting all the bloatware (can't stand it) I realized 4.4 was not for me. So I restored my latest backup of MM and I can tell you I'm glad i tried 4.4 because it made me appreciate MM and my cyberian camera. Btw I am on MxRom fyi.

Just wanted to say this, enjoy and cheers :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makiavell:
Yah, in my opinion kitkat is a million times better than LP or MM. A little old, agree, but in terms of stability, camera quality and battery management is definitely the best android version for this device.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
So does that cyberian reborn MM's stock camera? cause KK camera is WAY better than stock MM in all cases.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
Thinking of downgrading too. For those of you doing the downgrade: Check for Stagefright vulnerability and if it is vulnerable, take steps to close the hole! (I think the easiest way is to disable auto-downloading of MMS media so you can decide whether or not you trust the sender).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CRO-Maher:
From my experience it does, but then again I just bought this phone two weeks ago (I'm an ex xperia Z user) and camera is alot better for me

I tried flashing a 4.4.4 ROM from XDA and had problems with the Google Play Store. From the 5.1.1 ROM I was using, I wiped everything including system in TWRP and flashed the 4.4.4 zip. I could access my apps on the Play store only on the first boot. After a reboot, the Play Store would always just hang when I went to "my apps" and that made the phone unusable. What am I doing wrong? I would absolutely love to revert to KitKat but can't get it working.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CRO-Maher:
When you are downgradeing roms like that, it is advisable to flash 4.4.4 tft first, I did it that way and everything worked fine
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrbmed08:
Thanks - I'll give that a try and see how it goes. I thought wiping system would do it, but perhaps there's something that flashtool does above and beyond that.

[Shift General] JALUK:
I have purchased a HTC Shift from Ebay. It has Windows 10 pre-installed. I'd like to Liberate it and understand the guides but the issue is it is not possible these days to use the Shift email as no email servers seem to work due to SSL V3 being deprecated. Also as I am on Windows 10, Mobile Device Management does not work so it is not possible to form a sync partnership (unless someone knows how).

This leads me to not being able to find a way to get the liberated files actually on the Shift.

Does anyone know of a way that I may be able to do this ?
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Just posting to reassure you that once you have liberated you Windows Mobile side, Windows Mobile Device Management will work with Windows 10.

Hi there, my Note 2 for Sprint got stuck in a boot loop.

I tried unsuccessfully using Odin and Smart Switch to reload software.

I have tried new Samsung cables and multiple computers. In all instances, the phone cannot successfully connect to the PC.

At this point the only thing I can think of is to install the software directly from a memory card. Are there any other recommendations out there?

Can anyone point me to an easy tutorial and/or video on how to load either Samsung software or a custom ROM from an SD card? I don't care what's loaded on the phone, I just want it to work.

Thanks for your help and time

Honestly, you should do it yourself. It's not to difficult, just read everything 3 times first, then follow directions carefully. If you want to change things later, you will have already gained the knowledge needed. Now is the perfect time cause of the recall, if you hose it up they are still taking them back no questions asked. I would practice on a recall phone first , so you have no worries.

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***

Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.

Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support

Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to

And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.

Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.

Period.

Also as a reminder:

you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue

you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own

you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support

Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.

Please consider that!!!

Hi all,

new kernel is out for you.

Please note: There is experimental microphone control implemented, which I ported from other custom kernels. It is NOT tested, it might NOT have any effect, it might cause issues, whatsoever. I do not have much time at the moment, so it is up to you to try and test it this time.

Version

1.0-beta6

27.09.2016

Update: Updated with latest official CM kernel commits as of 27.09.16, 8am CET

Change: Boeffla touchkey LED control duration now configurable in milliseconds instead of seconds

Experimental

: Added microphone gain control (it is completely untested, so I am not sure whether it works at all or not; if it works, I do not know what all is affected by the gain - you tell me)

Change: Boeffla-Sound bugfixes

Change: KCAL initialization changed (if switched to off, it should never do anything during bootup)
