You have to launch xperia companion and launch software repair (follow on-screen directions)

It will do clean flash .291 with full wipe

Then your phone is going to reboot

After android launch try turn on wifi.

If wifi works, you can flash again xperience rom.

If this one doesn't work, it's hardware issue
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Tokusea:
Thanks for the response, I will try it asap
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cicabu72:
I don't know If I can ask here.. but how is the battery life compared to Slimm 3.8 (MM 6.0.1)? Is it worth the upgrade?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
same situation here, i'll probably try it this weekend
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] MarcinLewkowicz:
But "flash_removed_apps.zip" contains no apps.

It's just template you can use to restore apps from package with removed apps (if you need).

So I still don't understand that: "which contains three apps that must be part of the system - wrongly removed... sorry!".

Probably this applies to one of the old ROM version, not the current one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
I didn't create the ROM, just answered someone's question and the info is like you said in the OP first post. Try not flashing it and see what happens, I flashed it and have no issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] MarcinLewkowicz:
No offence! I've just wrote what I had seen in this zip. :)

I'm also curious why it looks like that, and what will happen when you don't flash it (guess nothing, but maybe I'm wrong).

I can't check now, my phone has broken LCD at this moment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Friend of Bill W.:
I´ve tested the ROM for a few weeks now and was happy at the beginning (thanks a ton for developing ) However I´m not too impressed about the battery life as well as lags (especially in browser.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] schumifer:
I too have experienced a few lags here and there but they go away after a reboot which means it was some app och even xposed probably. It is always a risk guys with exposed...

I am happy though, i downgraded from z5compact and i am still happy!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] His Dudeness:
Yeah, we are all here in the same boat...kinda.

This ROM is an ok ROM, not superb on battery life (used to, but not nowadays) nor faster and snappy UI either but... it delivers.

In other words, its a pretty decent ROM to stay almost up to date with latest security patches and OS news. Bugs here and there? Maybe, but quite fine for a daily driver imho.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
do u think Slimm 5.1.1 or AOXP might have better battery?

i'm currently on Slimm 6.0.1 (3.8) & the battery is awful.

what do u think about the camera & sound compared with other rom? (either default PEXO camera or with Cyberian camera)

i have two Z3c, i think i'll have xperience on one and another rom on the other. (bought one more as spare phone after disappointed by the ugly cheap-looking z5c and weak xc :D )
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Friend of Bill W.:
Ive flashed SliMM 3.8 now and will monitor the battery. So far its impressively smooth and quick :cool: I use cyberian cam
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robyx91:
What do you think about SliMM 3.8 after more than a week of usage? I'm on Xperience and I don't know how SliMM is on battery and performance, so please let me know your thoughts. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nhojeric214:
will this rom get further updates? sorry for asking

Does app LetGo works correctly?

I can´t see any offer (even not mine).

I think, than something missing in the ROM (using v10), because my girlfriend using LetGo too and it´s ok.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Marília de Oliveira:
Personal that rom has been discontinued, my z3c broke and i have not how to continue support for it! My new xperia is the xperia xz i am waiting for it to get to possible developments.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] van_vugt:
Hi Marília, my phone broke down so had to fix that by going back to factory settings. After that I wanted to flash your ROM again (had it before and I really liked it). Unfortunately I didn't have the file on my laptop anymore and now it seems I can't download it no more. Could you please let me download it one last time so I can run your ROM on my Xperia?

Thnx and keep up da good work

Why did you accidentally remove 3 system apps then attach them as a flashable zip?

Why don't you just merge them back into the ROM?

Edit: Nevermind. This was a terrible release that is now discontinued.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] SaddFox:
Link appears to be working again.

Just in case it stops working, I have reuploaded the rom here

Thanks for your Rom, stable and cool with Xposed. Have nice moments with your new toy !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
hi, can anyone help me with the installing steps? (thinking to install cyberian camera as well)

1) install basic system .291 through flashtool /xzrecovery?

2) place the xperience rar on your sdcard.

3) In your TWRP, just install the rom and then the xposed.

How can i get TWRP with locked bootloader?

Can i install xposed with locked bootloader?

4) Wipe

5) Reboot

6) And finally go into the settings/backup and reset and do a restore to factory default (Setting > Backup & reset > "Factory data reset". is this correct?)

7) when & how should i deal with the files of removed rar & removed zip?

8) when should i flash cyberian camera?

thx for any help in advance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Enigma_8:
Hello, I have a problem with my timeshift video. it just keep doing a regular record and can't edit it to slow mo. any suggestions? thanks great rom BTW.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
to hrsh45:

1) official .291 you can flash via Xperia Companion -> Software repair

*load up your system (.291), then Settings -> Apps -> three dots in right upper conner -> sellect Show System then:

Camera -> Storage -> Clear Data

Camera common -> Storage -> Clear Data

Video -> Storage -> Clear Data

2) copy Xperience ROM v10 & Cyberian Camera v8 (latest) to your sd card

3) you have to flash .575 kernel

follow one of these tutorials (result is the same - working TWPR): https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/guide-newbshow-to-291-mm-z3clocked-t3536395 or https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714

4) flash Xperience ROM v10 via TWPR

5) flash Cyberian Camera v8

6) Wipe (factory reset)

7) Reboot (1st launch will be longer)

File with name Removed apps is unless

...you will need patience :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
thanks very much for your help :)

may i have one more question,

should i flash xpose after Xperience ROM & before Cyberian Camera? (if that's possible with locked bootloader)

should i follow this tutorial regarding xpose?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

many thanks :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
You have to flash 1st Xperience ROM v10, then Xposeed or Cyberian Camera v8 - it doesnt matter.

Just Xperience ROM must be 1st
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
thanks very much for ur help :)

when i flash using TWRP, the file [REMOVED][xZ3c][D58xx][6.0.1][.291][6.0] X P E R I E N C E & R O M™.rar doesn't appear on the list.

is that file supposed to be flashed by TWRP?

thx
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
Yes, its a flashable file, but you dont need flash, its for older build (v6).

Newest version (v10) is fixed (using it for a long time without issues)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
thanks very much for your help.

however i got this after flashing v10, & it remains same after flashing flash_removed_apps.zip. :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
Its called "Simly home launcher" (by Sony).

Just download another launcher from Play store (personally recommended Nova Launcher)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
Thank You, again, for this great ROM, Marília!

I used it since March and it was a stable, good working ROM with Adopted sdcard, encryption and stock features from Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] doenen:
Hello!

First of all thanks for the great rom!

Came from Slimm, wanted something new, seems i found something.

However - as some people mentioned before - my CPU speed is stuck to 1,9ghz. The OP mentioned earlier this was normal, but I think it is rather annoying. For example light background tasks like listening to music or GPS tracking use a lot of battery this way.

Is there any way to change this without unlocking the bootloader and installing custom kernel!?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
thx
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
i got the same problem as well, music app consumes more battery than anything else even screen.

considering to switch back to slimm :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
Battery live of mine device is very good.

Using Amplify + Greenify donation + L speed.

Guys, try that ;)

edit:

Mine device was unpluged at 8.00 pm from charger - fully charged.

Now it´s sunday 12.30 pm and i have 97% battery.

Usage of phone was minimal - just 3 times time check.

Smartphones, that i used before consumes more battery (with same usage).

PS: stamina always on
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hrsh45:
thanks so much for your constant helps pajos.gabros :)

will try that this weekend :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
I am having very poor battery life, can someone help?

My battery was fully charged this morning. Now it's 59% and has only 2 hours 19 minutes battery time. Battery should be at least 80% and not below 60!!

My Xperia Z3 Compact is only a week old so basically brand new. This was the first rom I flashed. Even ran a few battery calibration apps, no difference.

Screen brightness only 20-30%

Using Hibernation Manager and have nothing running. Data off most of the time. standby battery slowly draining but when using battery drains fast and running very hot.

Can someone please advise? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
You have to pernamently turn on stamina mode, install greenify (recommended donation package) and amplify (recommended donation package).

Your rom must be rooted with some superuser app (it´s required for steps below)

Amplify needs xposed and it´s very useful for greenify too so you have to flash xposed framework and after that, you can install xposed app (xposed thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)

Also recommended Wakelock detector (free play app) - it shows you, how many wakelock persist to a app

You have to config amplify yourself by this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884 and here is continue: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
Thanks, I will go through the guide. :)

Ps. After having activating Stamina mode, the screen is dimmed as normal. Is there any way to use Stamina mode without having the screen being so dim? I would rather have regular brightness as in very bright and sunny conditions it is difficult to see the screen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
Update number two. After having charged my phone 12 hours ago, my battery is now 99% and estimates it will last 160 hours!!

A massive difference compared to before. Also I'm only using Greenify with Donation and Stamina mode. Not even using Servicely, AppsOppsXposed or Amplify yet battery has improved big time.

No need to use Amplify or AppsOpps as I do not use Facebook or any social media, WhatsApp, Youtube and Web browsing at the most. Also, once I'm done, Hibernation Manager and Greenify automatically Hibernate/close them, thus saving battery. Thanks once again for the links and support for improving my battery.

Just one question, is there any way to use Stamina mode as normal but not have the display dim? I'd like to have manual control over the screen and increase/lower as I wish. Even at max brightness, the display is rather dim when Stamina Mode is enabled. Please let me know if there is a work around or even some Xposed module which allows me to adjust display brightness as I wish whilst using Stamina mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
It isn't possible (i think), because display is the most demaning on the battery and stamina reduce brighness (more features).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
My standby battery is excellent, however, there is high battery drain when using the phone normally even when using Stamina mode with low brightness.

When browsing the Web with Chrome or even using WhatsApp for several minutes I lose 4-5% battery, why? Worst battery I've had in an android device.

I have a spare Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra which has a much larger 6" 1080P screen which has much better battery than my Z3 Compact and that's even with Stamina Mode disabled.

I have 56% battery remaining over a 12 hour period and just over 1 hour SOT. What the f**k??

Why is the phone consuming so much battery when in use despite low brightness and even Stamina mode?

Idle battery is excellent but when using the device battery drops way too fast. Please assist.

Ps. Phone is brand new and only 2 weeks old, brand new in the box.

I've literally been using my phone for about 20 minutes doing some basic Web browsing on Google Chrome and battery dropped from 70% to 55% in that period, wtf???
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
install wakelock detector and you will see app that concumes mutch of battery, then try find alternative
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
But strange because the apps I use have been the very same ones used for many years on other devices, very few apps also...

They did not drain battery on other devices. However, I will try wake lock detector and see what it says.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
Every device is unique, even batch ;)

You can also try underclock your CPU and chage governor, but i don´t know, if stock kernel allows it (from manufacture it´s set up to balance between power and performance).

Also recommended L speed (free google play app) - that app help you customize your phone
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
This sounds funny but it is possible my memory card is bad and causing battery drain?

Since 2 or 3 days, I've noticed when accessing media from the memory card, there is lag/delay especially when going through photos, as though it is struggling to display them. Never has it done this previously. Also, watching 720p and 1080p movies lag. It is a high end 32Gb Sandisk Extreme Pro card so it is plenty fast enough.

This is perhaps the third time having a faulty memory card from Sandisk! My previous card suddenly failed and every time I insert the card in my phone or to any computer, it keeps asking to format. Each time it is formatted is still asks to format. :laugh::laugh:

I have been using Wake Lock for the past 24 hours and apart from Google Services/Play store and calendar, there is nothing else waking the phone or consuming battery.

To my bad luck it may even be a bad battery. Idle battery life is fantastic, it's only when USING the device the battery drops VERY fast. Simply web browsing or using WhatsApp for just 30 minutes or so could easily consume at least 10% battery even when in Stamina mode and dimmed screen...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
Your sd card is diying, that´s sure ;)

But battery drain (by dieing card) shoudn´t be noticable

SD card (even fastest) is slower than internal storage and it doesnt matter, how mutch speed it is

Try clear cache of Play services (settings > apps - three uppon dots - show system).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
Seems something is seriously wrong, phone is laggy and unstable, very slow and sluggish, hardly anything installed and over 800mb free ram...

I thought it's the memory card but it's the device. Any ideas?? I will try disabling Xposed and modules such as Gravity box, it was the last thing I installed which caused lag shortly after!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
try take out sd card and you will se...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
After disabling Xposed it went back to normal, extremely strange as I've never had this issue before, also modules used were the same as always. Guess for me the rom/phones does not like Xposed. :( :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
strange... Did you flashed correct version?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
Yes, however, I did a full wipe, factory reset plus dalvic and cache followed by a fresh flash of the rom. Been 2 days and perfect, hopefully it'll stay that way.

Ps. So far I got around 4 hours and 15 minutes battery life with brightness set to around 50% and Stamina mode on 50% of the time. Battery lasted around 24 hours and was down to 7% based on the above, is this about normal?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] pajos.gabros:
it isnt so bad, i think

try download xposed module "MobileRadioActiveFix" - it helps me a lot

you can try Slimm Rom (it´s similar to Xperience Rom, some users report better battery live)

ps: battery has only 2600mAh and sony used lcd display
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kanej2006:
I did actually try Slimm Rom but I had a really bad bug, any phone call I make there is no dial pad, extremely strange. For me the best and most stable/fast rom was this very rom, Experience Rom. I just installed the Xposed module ''MobileRadioActiveFix'' as you suggested and see how it goes, thanks for the tip, will let you know after a day or so should it help. :good:

Just wanted to chime in that this rom has been working absolutely flawlessly for for the last week or so. Battery works for at least two days with use, more with light use. Flashed 10.0 and gapps (not the removed zip, i think that was for 6.0) and it just feels fast and responsive like a brand new phone. Have not been able to spot a single bug or issue.

so basically this is not a full rom it's just a small update due to it's file size and then after i installed it and did a wipe then reboot a found myself only with small home app with minimal apps installed, no xperia home installed !!!!!!!!
