[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapic:
After employing the tweak to allow adoptable storage after receiving the Marshmallow update I thought I had addressed the problem of running out of space on my 16Gb internal memory device.

The configuration I chose was to split by 128Gb external SD into 64Gb adoptable and 64Gb portable. Thinking that the adoptable would be merged with the existing limited 16Gb I wouldn't have to face the nightmare of space issues whenever I install a new app. At least for a while.

Well it looks to me that the adoptable storage concept doesn't work the way I thought it would. I can move apps to adoptable storage but I could do that already when I just only had portable storage (before this exercise).

Now when I go back on all the apps that I had thought I moved to adoptable storage it now tells me it's in portable storage (external storage device) instead. I thought that's weird. So when I tried to move it from portable to adoptable it does nothing and remains in external storage device. Yet when I inspect what is in the adoptable storage it lists all the apps that I expected. This is very confusing. But what is more frustrating is that I cannot install new apps as my internal memory is almost full and Android appears to be ignoring the existence of the adoptable storage. So unless I delete apps from the internal storage I can't install any new apps which is ridiculous as only 4Gb out of 64Gb adoptable storage has been used.

Am I missing something here?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomherRro:
Use Apps2SD in order to do the split and to move apps. It's the only way that I was able to achieve the proper functionality for a partitioned SD card and move apps entirely on it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enginuity2:
I can pop a Windows installation disk into just about any computer and install it with no problems whatsoever. Why do Android ROMs need to be so tailored to each device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Each device is unique and may involves various components that are not necessarily present in other devices. Also things like the kernel cannot be uniformly coded for every device or else you'd start having some serious problems. Also technology changes from phone to phone. Some manufacturers also layer Android with "skins" to make their product more unique and add different features. If all devices were the same then there would be little incentive to buy from one manufacturer vs another.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just popped a Windows 10 disc on my Mac, and suprisingly its a no go. What happened?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
I have an old PCAT 80386, and my Windows 10 just won't install. ;)

I'm sorry, but this is a bad comparison. Windows comes with the most common drivers, but if you have a rare hardware device then it won't work when you install it. It will appear as a red x in Devices, until you download your driver from the manufacturer's homepage. I mean if it's still compatible. If it only has Windows XP drivers, then you're boned. If it has Vista, well you r chances have increased.

Unless you have a Broadcomm ethernet adapter that windows does not support. Download those drivers if you can. :D

Now imagine if the device which is not working your touchscreen. Or, the screen itself.

Linux would be a better example, since all divers are in the kernel itself, or at least a simplified legacy version, that's not hardware accelerated until you install proprietary closed binary drivers. Like the nVidia cards on Linux. I wouldn't want to have my phone in 640x480 in 256 colors until I can obtain the latest driver.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
It's true for manufacturers, but pesky for consumers. I have had HTC sense....no more HTC !
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I think the point that [MENTION=4391966]enginuity2[/MENTION] is trying to make is that one can buy a PC from almost any manufacturer, with a varied range of components from various manufacturers (or buy components and build one), and Windows will almost certainly run on it. I think this boils down to the fact that Windows has drivers for almost all devices/components, or they can use generic drivers, that are built into the OS itself.

From what I hear, communication components (like modem) have proprietary drivers that cannot follow this model for some reason. In theory, should it be possible for the OS to have access to a repository of drivers for most (if not all) components? Yes - if Microsoft can do that with their desktop OS for years, it "should" be doable here as well. I don't know why it can't be done. I'm sure there is a reason why.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Its because of the way the ARM CPU and bootup processes work -- all different. x86 platform standardized this, which is why you can drop a "generic" OS onto them without much in the way of customization.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
That's why I was dumbfounded when Asus succeeded in making their Atom based Zenfones equally convoluted to unlock, flash, boot, etc.

(Though you can run Windows under KVM :D)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Just because the infrastructure to do it correctly exists, does not mean that everybody has to do it correctly.

Development update and some screenshots

I broke my Z1 screen again and I am not in the mood for after market screens. And I am sick and tired of Sony crappy treatment of development community.

I am now looking at Lenovo Zuk Z2 or Z2 pro. Both excellent phones with the latest CPU and made out of metal and glass by Motorola which they bought from Google a couple of years ago. Zuk is friendly to developers and their blobs don't dumb down camera and they don't seek to "unify" bugs for all their devices. I no longer wish to support a fat bastard corporation that can't make a good phone, but thinks that just by putting their logo on the phone would make it worth $700.

RE Jaguar. I will continue to maintain Jaguar mainly with security patches... for a while, but my main work will be concentrated on Zuk. There is a lot of work to be done cleaning Android N and implementing security and other features from Jaguar...

Thank you for making this really solid rom.

I only have one concern, is the reversed fisheye bug present? :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I really don't know what it is, as I don't have Z3. Someone else tested it and verified everything worked...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] stefx98:
I was referring to the camera bug where the photos that you take look bent a little in a circular fashion, but what i could see from the screenshots, it looks like it's not present.

I will give this rom a try as soon as i get home and the effort that was put into it is really extraordinary :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Cirra92:

Your work seems very appealing and thank you very much for supporting our beloved z3c!

I have a few questions,

1-Did you specifically choose the word "arise" ?

If Yes, then forget question one

If No, then it would be nice to change name to "Aries" because z3c codename is Aries.

2-Is this rom battery and resource friendly?

If the answers are somehow satisfying i'm thinking of unlocking my bootloader and use your rom.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] gfeo:
It's probably a typo, since the Z1 version is called Jaguar Honami.

From the Z1 thread:

These security features sound nice.

Does Xposed work on this one? Also, could I flash this and not enable encryption?

Normally, I'd flash it and get the answers myself, but I don't want to unlock my BL if I don't have to.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Unfortunately Xposed no longer works starting from October (worked fine on previous releases). Since, I have already tried to revert all October commits, the reason, I think, is that one of October security patches prevents Xposed from running. After all, Xposed installer creates an exploit to expose Android internal features for modules. You should post a logcat to the Xposed thread...

As I have mentioned, one of my family members has a Z3c. Without Google apps the phone lasts 2.5 days on a single charge. Available ram is over 1400 mb...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Tosgaba:
Xposed fault has broken my dreams :(

Unlocked the bootloader and flashed the ROM.

And wanted to set up MicroG but it seems that I will not be able to do that if the ROM does not have signature spoofing. [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

Does this ROM support signature spoofing?

If not, then there is no reason to use for me unfortunately :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I saw the commits to implement signature faking. It is not difficult to do, but I have to think about this feature in terms of security implications. See, I despise Google services for many reasons, the main one that they are malware and spyware. Signature faking is about silent updates, which means total control over your device by an app, which is not acceptable...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Tosgaba:
Thanks for the reply.

Using your ROM for one day.So far so good.Lightweight, secure, easy on battery and RAM consumption and also feature rich.

But, after one day without SONY taste, I really miss it.

Now I have to learn how to aggressively debloat and trim stock based SliMM ROM and go on my way.

Thanks for this great ROM.

Hey, this rom is great! Thanks for making it and including all the security fixes.

One problem I do have though is that my Fitbit tracker crashes when notifications are enabled (texts/calls) - stack trace indicates that it doesn't have bluetooth permissions? (Even though it went through the whole pairing process + syncs.)

Thanks for this amazing ROM! It's really what I needed for my Z3c. One of my favourite phones ever but I stopped using it because of the lack of security updates. This ROM is exactly what I want.

A question to anybody who can answer it, how do I root the phone with phh superuser instead? The guide for rooting z3 compact seems to have SuperSU built in?

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/z3-z3c-sony-stock-camera-aosp-cm-t3332934

Such a promising looking ROM. I'd really like to give it a shot, but the one thing that Sony screwed us on...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
This is a really good ROM. Its the first non-stock one I've tried and it didn't suffer from any of the problems, aside from the reverse fisheye camera bug, that most of the others have.

I tried to port the camera as in the links above, however the framework file simply doesn't have what is needed to even try. If it weren't for that one thing, I'd use it above stock for sure, however unfortunately....

I'm bookmarking in hopes of a usable camera at some future point. The quality of what it has is significantly better than I expected, just the fisheye problem.

Notes:

I lowered the temperature for scaling the cpu as it got a little hot playing a game.

I was getting available wifi notifications from time to time even though I was already connected to my home network. I didn't try simply turning that off.

Soft reboot after changing the DPI resulted in no APN settings nor Cell Radio. It might have affected WiFi as well, I can't remember. Trying to add an APN manually resulted in something along the lines of "This User Permission Denied". Full reboot brought all settings back. This was the only soft reboot I tried.

Couldn't find anything else wrong, at all.

Color on the screen was great compared to stock regardless of brightness level, I was seriously comparing it to a HQ OLED, felt like I had a new phone.

The sound is much better on this ROM. Much louder, but also simply sounded better, yes I know this sounds like a placebo effect.

Fast as hell. Light as hell. A LOT of room in RAM.

I'd crap on about other things that I loved but they were in the first post.

This is really good work! I was so bummed out when I got around to the camera

I wasn't able to test the battery life. There wasn't much standby time for me and it was clear that I needed to calibrate and let it set in for a few days as I was getting upward discharge levels on standby at times.

I forgot. Can you put how to enable root in the OP for other users? Its in developer settings, which needs to be enabled.

Also, I didn't have a recovery. I had to flash TWRP separately to back it up and restore the stock ROM (deppressing).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] alenbernardis:
Thanks for your review. Much appreciated. Did you test xposed maybe?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
No, sorry, I didn't.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
Reinstalled it after looking at other ROMs to support the camera and not really being happy with other features in particular.

Xposed doesn't work. I tried version 87 sdk 22.

I was able to get into recovery without reflashing a recovery this time. Perhaps, since I used the "reboot to recovery" option, and then didn't do a full power off on the second try using both buttons, that this was the problem. Perhaps not, but it seems unlikely that I the recovery got overwritten if it isn't included in your ROM zip; that said, both times after flashing your ROM I no longer had options for FOTA, Baseband, recovery... just System, Data, Cache, Boot (I think), and TWRP does complain about not being able to find a partition when restoring a backup but this doesn't create any problems for the ROM itself nor for flashing back to stock since those partitions aren't changed. When I did flash back to stock, I had the same version of TWRP and everything was visible again. The kernel doesn't see these partitions perhaps? In any case it isn't really a problem aside from red warning text when TWRP does these operation but if you need me too I can flash the differant boot images and see if that's why.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
I hate to be a nuisance and keep chiming in, especially since I don't know if you are going to keep developing on this, but a have a little more feedback.

I mentioned that I was getting notifications, on rare occasions, for wireless networks whilst already connected to one. Turning that off did solve it, as expected.

In regards to the inablity to port the z4 camera to this ROM, I tried out the most recent cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM and despite successfully doing everything, it didn't matter and the reverse fish eye bug was still there. Perhaps this why the tutorials on it are all old.

I flashed opengapps for your ROM and all went well until I installed Gmail and Google. Gmail crashed after setup. It would get notifications fine but crash on open. Google worked for searching the web by keyboard but voice search crashed trying to initialize, possibly the microphone (don't know for sure).

I don't know if opengapps is the proper set for this ROM. I tried a fuller installation with those apps built in and they had the same problems.

Inbox worked for email though...

I hope you keep working on it. I realize that's difficult without the actual phone, but I sure do like the idea of a more hardened system. I didn't install gapps the first time around at all. I also like LP and it would be nice to stay on it with recent updates ported.

For anyone that's looking for a recovery that will install apps that aren't signed properly by recovery on CM, this worked for me http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-fota-recovery-t3093537

Other stuff, not so much worked, TWRP or otherwise. CM is apparently picky about the recovery it will hand off to.
