Just tried them, they work, did you try to disable and reenable google play services?

Also, lockscreen is not see through when I use custom wallpaper, it only works if it's stock theme, not sure if that's a bug or feature
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] schumifer:
Hello everybody. I am new to z3c , not really that new to xperia company.

I feel there are some roms that are up to par but i need to be able to see my pics through camera app with quickpic. Pexocam does not allow to choose picture viewer at the moment.

Ca you guys choose a not-SonyAlbum app to view the pics when you are in the camera app??

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Sure I will look into it. I'm 500km away from comp now
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
See through only works with stock themes. I will try to change system UI in next update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Works for me??? :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AfroMetal:
Is there any way to get AOSP lockscreen on this ROM? I hate side swipe to unlock and that sliding animation. Pure Android is best.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
You can flash the Z5 systemUI. I'm sorry, I won't be able to help you look for it. Look for it in the Sony OEM cross development threads
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Good luck with your exams.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Well, Thank you! :o

Watch the Z3C development threads, eXistenZ is coming up . Im uploading it now :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Great! :) And good luck for your exams!

Anyway it would be awesome if you could give me and others here the (detailed) instruction how to revert back to the stock camera! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Well, its pretty simple actually. You need SliMM rom package for the latest one, and you need an expanded stock rom. download cyberian 7.1 and compare all the files with stock rom package... copy those files to your device. Then, take /priv-app/semccameraui-release-xhdpi from slimm zip and copy the file to your device. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
I don't have and find an expanded stock rom :( But I downloaded Cyberian 7.1 and Wajks SliMM rom... What a hassle this is :( Don't you have those files and can't you give us a flashable zip please?

Thx 4 best rom on z3c! :)

Can u just give us 1.5.7 update as .ZIP file?

It's the last update without sound problem...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Will provide it if you really want to stay on AOXP.. I'm releasing Existenz
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
I have added V1.5.8(D) to Post #2

Also, Existenz can be flashed over any stock based ROM or Stock ROM without wipes. The thread is not complete yet, It will be complete by tonight(Its 9AM for me now :))

Hi panzerox123, thanks for your time and this rom. You did a great job! I wish you good luck with your exams.

Is existenz your new rom or working together?

The feature list looks cool but didn't try rom yet. Saw it was at status testing. Also in doubt to try carbon.. ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
I ported the ROM to Z3 compact [MENTION=5206590]FlintStoned-[/MENTION]

Hi panzerox123, thanks for your rom, but I have two problems.

Goggle Maps app just working great till i'm stuck in a place, when I start moving it doesn't update the gps position.. like it have a timeout on requesting position of about 30-40 seconds or more..

the other problem is that is not recognizing gsm roaming, in italy we have an operator that had only wcdma bands, in gsm goes to other operator roaming. The problem is that in gsm is not showing the "r" near the signal bars and the data usage continue like normal, 'causing an high cost in my data plan.. could you fix this?

Thanks in advance

Link to new ROM... Easy upgrade from any stock based ROM
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Stock based like AOXP? ^^ So we can simply flash it over AXOP?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Yes. You can flash over any stock based ROM. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
You are the best Dev.

Very helpful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
haha thanks, Though the uninstaller is not required anymore :) Since eXistenZ can be installed over AOXP easily, and I havent installed Cyberian or Sound mods there.

If you people are planning on staying on AOXP, I can make you an uninstaller Zip
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
So is eXistenZ stock camera and stock sound? Does it have all your improvements from AOXP?

Sorry for all the questions.

I don't want to make work for you with an uninstaller zip, everything works perfect in AOXP, but I just wanted to get back to stock camera.

Stop answering questions in the thread and get on with your coursework ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
Hi guys, I'm looking for a stable rom with good battery improvement. (I'm coming from stock .291 with xposed and I'm suffering of a battery drain caused by google play services) What kind of rom do you suggest me? This one, eXistenZ, Xperience rom or discontuned? Thank you so much guys
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
There are a couple of fixes for GPS battery drain. It's not linked to the rom you are using, but rather the way you have set it up.

Dr Death has a solution that involves blocking GPS access.

Each time you build a rom it generates a unique ID, if you restore any Google app or an app that uses google services from a different build ID, then GPS goes into error, causing big battery drain.

In a nutshell, you can't restore a google account or any google apps from Titanium or TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
Thanks, I've read your guide. I'll do a factory reset and than, for avoid any problem, I wont restore any apps by any backup :D

If you have to choose one of these rom, what do you suggest me?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
I have been a long time user of SLIM, but have just recently moved to AOXP. There is very little difference, I think this rom was derived from a SLIM build. The battery may be slightly better with AOXP.

Obviously this rom comes with the amazing support of [MENTION=6948461]panzerox123[/MENTION]

I really like the ROM but that one thing is annoying.

Do I have to make a clean install starting from 1.2?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Bartekreaper:
Hello [MENTION=6164641]baudbox[/MENTION] Do you have maybe somewhere Magisk v11 version? i cant find it, there is only v11.1 and you said its not working with this rom.

I tried restoring the contacts app from my old slimm installation but that didn't change anything.

It's the same version anyway. In both roms it's 19.1.A.0.106.

Edit: I tried it with a different contacts app and now it works - even with the stock contacts app :confused:

Hello, reporting error wit downloading of 1.5.8D update via OTA updater. Except the update, please correct an error which i detected yesterday - i am not able to share mobile data with my ipad via standard thethering (ad hoc wifi created by xperia) and also via bletooth (none is working - ipad seems to be connected correctly, however no page can be refreshed, data are not flowing from xperia).

[MENTION=1597773]luzki[/MENTION] [MENTION=388146]Davka[/MENTION] Im very sorry. The ROM has issues with tethering. Ill have to start over and make a new ROM, which I will be able to do only after my exams. Sorry. :'(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
I had issues with WiFi tethering too, but a clean flash has fixed that. A bit more work, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Good luck with exams man!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Wolfsksie:
A quick question, i tried to remedy a wifi issue i'm experiencing by installing this rom and ended up wiping /system, effectively erasing twrp (working with locked BL).

Does this rom use Sony's original .291 kernel? - if not, is the kernel available somewhere without prying open the rom zip ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baudbox:
it does (otherwise the rom won't be used for unlocked bootloader) :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
You're bricked... Unfortunately. I don't know if this will work, but connect your phone in flash mode to flashtool and flash .291 stock

can i get link for telegram? its emergency and one linked isnt working so pls

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Wolfsksie:
Figured, just wanted to make sure, thanks!.

No, no, i'm not bricked, the phone is running - just without twrp.

I'll just have to redo this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luzki:
What do you mean by clean flash - is it factory default or wiping everything in twrp and installing the rom again (including patches up to 1.5.8)? If so, is there a way of keeping actual setup (which i spent a lot of time adjusting everything to my taste)? In case of apple, you do a factory reset and then just restore icloud backup and everything is back (all apps, wallpaper, wifi,sms, everything), very easy - can be this done somehow on android? I am on android since beginning but i never figured it out. In fact, i like this rom, especially last update which added some louder sound (being usefull in car etc), just that thetherring issue :( But imagination of adjusting everything again is even worse so i probably will wait for another update with hope, that thetherring will be corrected someday...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
It is called a soft brick :) and no, you cannot do that without a full firmware. You'll need to flash .291 or any other full firmware using flashtool before you do that ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Wolfsksie:
[MENTION=6948461]panzerox123[/MENTION], the phone isn't bricked... Not bootlooping or anything, in fact I'm running from aoxp now.. So I think that process for TWRP will be fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
I thought you said your /system was wiped and you had a locked bootloader?? Im not sure, was it you?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Wolfsksie:
[MENTION=6948461]panzerox123[/MENTION], I booted into twrp and from there wiped /system - it worked so i didn't really think about it very much (i guess twrp was loaded into ram?) and then flashed aoxp (1.2->1.5->1.5.8) and supersu.

I play around a sometimes with my gnex, so i'm used to aosp... didn't really notice what i did until i read the scripts for installing twrp with locked BL (because xposed install failed and it didn't boot into recovery, just restarted).

In any case, i have managed to revive the phone once before from a soft brick with the sony companion, so there shouldn't be a problem anyway, thanks for the concern! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Ahhh OK. BTW? Sony companion wont work once you wipe /system... So dont count on that. Only Flashtool will recovery your device :cowboy: Have a nice day :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Didgesteve:
Make a backup of your phone in recovery. Then go back into mobile phone - settings/backup & reset - factory reset your phone.

Go into recovery - wipe cahche/dalvik - flash rom - power cycle - flash Xposed - let phone boot.

Go back to recovery - restore DATA ONLY from your recovery backup.

Then use method two to delete and re-add your google account.

Then you will have your phone same as old setup, on new rom, without the google play services battery drain.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luzki:
Wow, thanks very much for the detailed manual! Will try it, hopefully it helps. Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
That's exactly right. I did a full data wipe in TWRP and started fresh by flashing 1.2, then 1.5, then OTA 1.5.8, i.e. a clean install.

Unfortunately, I did have to set up my phone from scratch. You can use Titanium Backup or a host of other tools to backup your apps and data beforehand. Google even has an automated restore feature when you log into your account again after a factory reset, assuming you had given them permission to backup your apps and data in Settings, but it's not as comprehensive as say Titanium Backup.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Guys I can confirm tethering works fine now after a factory reset [MENTION=3060432]boojay[/MENTION] I wonder what went wrong... Maybe it was the 1.5.1 update...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luzki:
Hi guys, i proceeded in accordance with your suggestions, i.e. fresh install as by Boojay and restoring backed-up data as described by Didgesteve and IT WORKS!!! Thank you all very much! Problem solved and also learned new things. Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fr3n2y:
The tethering problem is only with dns. A workaround until there is a patch could be change from automatic dns (dns assigned by dhcp) to manual dns server.

You can use google dns for example, and that works for me. I use tethering a couple per week, so this is good solution for me meanwhile it's fixed

Enviado desde mi D5803 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
No patch. It works fine... I think there was so.ething wrong with the 1.5.1 update. Clean flash without 1.5.1 will fix it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Sure that'll do :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
I'm not sure myself, but you could be right. I did go through the process of applying all the updates one by one the first time I tried your rom, then waited until the 1.5.8 update to try a clean install of it, but then noticed that there were fewer steps involved so I skipped the updates in between 1.5 and 1.5.8.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
I got some news for you guys :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baudbox:
DNS settings given on a tethering client seems to be hard coded somewhere. I didn't fine myself how to modify with a set prop command or any root trick.

The only workaround found is to modify after being connected, the dns parameter given in dhcp (replace 192.168.43.1 by another ip like Google or OpenDns) on the client machine.

Edit: I do confirm that a fresh install (my combo stock>1.2 full > 1.5 full > 1.5.8 > elitekernel > magisk) did the trick. No more issue on tethering. No need to change DNS manually on client.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
A clean install seems to do the job. Just dont flash 1.5.1 . I think I may have broken tethering in that update. :cowboy: I have looked for many workarounds, but a seamless experience is what I want to deliver using this rom :angel:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] slutman:

What will be the news inside this v2 ?

Can we have some leaks ? :p

After having fixed my contacts issue I came across some other issues.

1. Gravity box doesn't work 100%: changing the quick settings in the status bar doesn't show any effect also not on the lock screen. Also the quick draw on either side of the status bar directly to quick settings doesn't work.

2. My device does nearly no doze although force doze is active.

3. Color control doesn't work.

I did a factory reset in TWRP before install. Old Rom was slimm.

Is there a way to fix these issues?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
1. Known issue on XZ systemUI

2. Can I have battery charts? If you're new to the ROM, give it some time to settle the cache :cool:

3. Flash KCal again. Easy :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mal_0:
Will try to flash the kcal package.

Of course you can get battery stats!

Didn't use the phone much today.

Here you go:

Edit: long term statistics in gsam are not correct. It's based on the data gathered from the old rom.

Also pretty much everything is amplified or greenified.

I would really like to get the stock rom lockscreen back on this rom, has anyone got any ideas how I can do this ?

1- How can I return to stock audio? I would uninstall Viper mod

2- Color control doesn't work

( And what is Call Files apk?)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
1. Go to mixplorer and uninstall Viper from /system/priv-app . And then go to /system/app and look for sound nhancement.apk and install it :)

2. Just flash KCal again.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Which TWRP version are you on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] marvidoc76:
It's the 2.8.7 version, with lollipop
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Unfortunately... I dont know of a way. But If you are able to flash .291 without losing that version of recovery, you can flash aoxp 1.5 on top of that. Your recovery will get updated only if you flash aoxp 1.2

If you are on unlocked bootloader however, things are different. You can use the guide in my signature to flash any version of twrp you want
