What's the best sound mod for sony app?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] His Dudeness:
Im not aware of that bug, how serious is mobile data loss? Im frequently switching between LTE4G / WiFi areas...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] okij:
It varies. Sometimes I had that bug about every second day, then not for about a week. The evil thing is that you first don't see it because LOS has no network traffic indicators, so you realize it only when you e.g. are wondering that you missed some emails or when your web browser refuses to load pages. It also seems that it depends on the area where you are, e.g. I had more problems during my holidays.

So if you are interested in LOS for some reasons, I would suggest that you try it on your phone for 1 or 2 weeks and then decide for yourself if it works for you and suits your needs.

ERROR 7

Whenever i try to flash newest CarbonRom for my Sony Z3 Compact i get the following error:

E3004: This package is for "D5803,D5833,z3c,aries" devices
This is a "z3".
E:unknown command [log]
Upater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/CARBON-CR-
5.1-MOO-WEEKLY-z3c-20170905-1054.zip'

I used this guide to backup DRM keys, and getting recovery (I did all the steps): https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

Next i went to Sony and got my key to unlock the bootloader with fastboot. Success

Then i try to flash CarbonRom with the newest TWRP and got the error mentioned

Any suggestions?

I have read on some other roms and devices, that they manuel had to rename their model, because of uppercase letters was lowercased. I don't know if i should do the same, or i have done something wrong in the process, or what to do now. Any help would be much appreciated
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] SkyHigh76:
Hi, are you sure flashed the correct TWRP. It says "Z3" not "Z3c". Z3 is another phone not the compact series. Please use Tomascus TWRP

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mijaysen:
Thank you. It was the recovery in the pre-rooted firmware from the guide there was missed up. I just skipped installing the pre-rooted firmware, and instead went on with flashing carbonrom after exploiting SuperSU and PhilzDualRecovery, and now it flashes. Thank you so much
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] His Dudeness:
Oh noes. Carbon is my way to go, just that bug caught my attention, to be honest it'd be a big drawback as daily driver. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
I wonder how I can install OTA updates, because I can't find the update button in the menu.

I can't do it from TWRP, because my Sony Xperia Z3C is encrypted.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] flipside101:
OTA isn't an option for carbon currently (well, as far as I know) To update via TWRP you need the image on a USB key that either has a micro USB connector or via and USB OTG dongle
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
Thank you, I know. But will this work with an encrypted cellphone also?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] flipside101:
yep, that's why I responded as its something you obviously haven't tried . The otg key is not part of your phone you won't have encrypted it , and I do this so Im 109% on it working

Unfortunately the encryption causes a bootloop after a few reboots. The bootloop after encryption is reproducible. :(

It is the same issue as with LineageOS 14.1. I never had this with any Marshmallow CustomROM. Please add this to the bug list.

Are the sony headphones with noise canceling working?

Is there somebody else that uses a password for login? Does it work without problems? I noticed when i write a wrong letter/number/sign and correct, the phone locks me out at all for some seconds to give another try.

My workaround is to turn the screen off and on again and than it works.(or wait for that seconds it shows - sometimes 5, sometimes 30!!!)

And one more thing: how can i bring a quicksetting tile - lets say VPN switch on/off up to always shown? I'm not able to do so.

But beside that, it is a great rom! I love it!

No big problems or bugs or non-functional stuff

Great, you added the System Updates option.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Actually, the phone suggests to install the Weekly 20170905 over the recent 20170918 as an update ready to download. :cyclops:

Oh, unfortunately there is a echo for every caller. :(

Idk, 2 callers said that. So, I tested it by calling from outside and there was no echo.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] okij:
Yeah, I noticed that too. ;)

I and the people I called don't have echos, it works as good as the 09-05 weekly. I also didn't see any commits which could have changed anything audio or calling related.

BTW, the recently discovered BlueBorne BT vulnerabilities have already been fixed in the new weekly. :good:

Thanks again [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and the other devs for the good work!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] noideaforaname:
The call overlay disapeared suddenly on 0905 and people who called me got also an echo after i updated to 0918.

I've done a clean install and now everything works fine again.

Hello,

I'm running the latest build with microG and its integrated UnifiedNLP working flawlessly !

Thank you again [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] for this very stable and smooth ROM. Good luck with Oreo ;)

Now in order to get UnifiedNLP

included in microG

to bind, one has to add 'com.google.android.gms' as a provider to look for in the framework-res apk. Here is a package (password = XDA) that will do that for you automatically. It is a stripped down package from this thread and already contains the proper diff file for the latest build here. Just extract and follow the instructions from the readme.

I trust this modification will be included in the future Oreo weeklies ! :laugh:

Note : I'm not entirely sure but it is safer this way: microg has to be pushed to system apps (priv-app). I recommend flashing the microG pack from Shadow53 (thank you !) after flashing your ROM in order to do that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luminoso:
So, I'm about to make the jump from stock to this ROM. Thank you [MENTION=4916555]okij[/MENTION] for the post comparing Carbon to other AOSP roms

Before of all the work of backup TA, unlock the bootloader, flash, install and restore all the stuff could anyone speak a little about:

Does camera shots nicely in low light?

Does the camera has lots of noise due not using Sony libs?

Is there any kind of video stabilization (replacement for Intelligent Active)?

Can I record at 60fps?

Is BlueBorne vulnerability fixed?

Does Magisk work and pass SafetyNet test?

How do xpose works now? I've read a few buzzwords such as "systemless" but no idea if it is working with Android 7.x / LineageOS / this ROM?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] A Good Kid:
60fps-yes if u install cyberianMOD

Low light works with cyberianMOD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] casouzaj:
Haven't experienced much with the camera, but with Magisk v14, along with the old Universal Safetynet Fix V10.1 module,, both Safetynet and Play Store certification are successful. Haven't installed Xposed, because I read that it trips Safetynet for virtually all devices and ROMs.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] okij:
Yes, pictures are similar to stock ROM also in low light. The only difference I see is that ISO goes only up to 3200 (like in Intelligent Auto on stock) and not up to 12800 (like in Manual Mode on stock), but maybe [MENTION=8426075]A Good Kid[/MENTION] could check this for us with cyberian mod too (please also give some info which cyberian mod version you use. :))

Noise reduction is the same as on stock, since the Sony libs actually are used.

You can use Intelligent Active with the ported Sony stock camera from [MENTION=7796065]opendata[/MENTION]. Only taking pictures with the hardware camera button doesn't work with Sony stock camera on CarbonROM yet, so you have to use the on-screen button. I'm now using OpenCamera for taking pictures, since the hardware camera button works there.

Yes, see [MENTION=8426075]A Good Kid[/MENTION]'s answer above.

Yes, it has already been fixed in the latest build (2017-09-18), see attachment. :)

Yes, Magisk works fine and SafetyNet can be passed, see [MENTION=346743]casouzaj[/MENTION]'s answer above.

No, the unofficial versions of Xposed are not supported and not working, so we have to wait for the official version by Rovo. However, I don't miss Xposed too much because CarbonROM already has nice customization options and because for some Xposed modules (like YouTube background playback) there are Magisk modules too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] A Good Kid:
Hey. It gives an "error while searching for networks" while searching for it manually. Does somebody else have that problem? Wanna know if it's ROM related
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FiddelZ:
I have the same problem with carbon ROM.

But it is not so important for me, as long i can use the phone.

Going back to the MM stock ROM, the problem is vanishing and all available networks are visible.

So i think it is ROM related.

Damn it. I'm in Ireland now and that means I can't use mobile data Cuz I'm from different country.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FiddelZ:
As long as you have an original european provider, free roaming should be possible. I am living in France and working in Germany, so i don't have control on choosing a network, but it doesn't matter, because roaming is free within the european community since some month.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] A Good Kid:
But my provider requests to use Vodafone operator, but I can't switch to it. Like I can use everything except mobile data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Andi-:
It is the same for me. Searching throws an error and I cannot switch from `auto` mode to `manual`, it just closes the `Available networks` menu. Automatic network choosing seems to be working fine for me. I am roaming a lot, including data usage abroad.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
Here is my recent Bug List (CarbonROM CR-5.1-MOO-RELEASE-z3c-20170918-1012):

? Encryption + Adopted sdcard causes a bootloop and you have to wipe, format and install everything again.

? Clock settings (com.android.deskclock) are not possible. Any configuration you made in the default Clock app will reset to factory default within seconds.

? "Phone idle" consumes most of the battery.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] okij:
That's normal if your phone is in standby most of the time, since Android has to do some tasks in background.

Look at the attached screenshot: "Phone idle" on my phone just used 62 mAh in 3 h 40 min, although it was the top consumer in the list.

2600 mAh battery capacity / 62 mAh * 3 h 40 min = 153 hours or more than 6 days of standby time!

Of course there are also Google Play Services etc. consuming some battery in background (so actually it's less than 6 days), but battery consumption IMHO really is nothing to complain about on the current CarbonROM!

If you look at the second screenshot, I currently get 38 hours of battery life with > 7 hours of screen on time on one charge! :cool: Sony Stock ROMs with Stamina Mode (with this I mean the good old original one before Marshmallow) hasn't been better than this.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
Battery Phone Idle

Thank you for the explanation. This is what I thought.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] casouzaj:
It works fine in my Z3C phone. I think you might have to turn a security function, like a PIN, a password or a pattern, on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] A Good Kid:
When Oreo's gonna get its release date?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] karll1:
Can you clarify? Does your Google detection screen look like my screenshot? Where it says "%1$s" instead of "Ok, Google".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] casouzaj:
No. Under Settings > Security, do you have a screen lock mechanism defined?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] karll1:
Hmm, I don't see the same screen as you when I select trusted voices. I wonder what is different. I am running the 20170918 build. Which one are you running?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] casouzaj:
You have to enable it in Settings > Security > Smart Lock. I'm running the same build as you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
Updates?

I know there is no built in updater in this rom so how exactly do I update? Just download the latest build and dirty flash? Or do I need to start from scratch again and wipe data, cache etc?

Edit: Turned the phone off and removed SD card. Phone booted up fine. Still lost as to why it won't boot with SD card installed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] A Good Kid:
Didn't had that problem
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
I am experiencing high "Phone idle" drain as well, or at least the values say so (but I'm not sure whether it's actually a drain).

I have attached my 2nd, 3rd and last charging cycle. In the first one, awake time was abnormal 8h, it was some "mmc0:0001:2" wakelock, I still have it now, though a lot less, tried googling that and no one was able to find the cause (it's not SD card issue), but as you can see it was a damn good battery life with my usual usage pattern.

Last cycle was the worst, if we look at it through SOT and "phone idle" drain (compared to previous cycles), but not bad by any other criteria.

The thing is that no matter how I use the phone "screen usage" won't top the "phone idle" even if the idle times were shorter than SOT (checked that couple of times already), I've never had that up until now. (even though I already used LOS some 5 months ago on this phone, and used 7.1.1 on Galaxy S5).

Now, I'm not complaining at all, ROM is awesome, daily driver by all means, I'm just reporting constant unusual values never seen before, though they don't impact battery life (at least I don't feel that).

BTW I'm not using GApps so no GPlay services here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ruicunh79:
Coming from lineage, how should i proceed to install this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
Same way you installed Lineage. Full wipe and install rom plus Gapps. That is the way I did it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yo7fb:
Just yesterday i flash last build, dirty flash,all seems to be ok. Only super su (2.79) needed to reflash. Good luck!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
So my phone is not rooted. I just unlocked the bootloader and then flashed the rom so I'm now wondering if the reboot problem I'm having is because I don't have root?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] HandyE:
Really nice ROM. Thank you!

Coming from Lineage...I also noticed a "bug" that occured in LineageOS, too:

- Google-Streetview: When taking pictures the sensor is not working correctly. Right after taking the first picture of a whole sphere, the screen begins slowly floating to the right (phone is not moved). In lineage it floats to the left. I think this might be a gyroscope-issue?? Is there a way te recalibrate or so?

- Did someone manage to get the HW-cambutton working. I mean: Pressing the button when phone is OFF (screen off) will wake the phone (screen) and directly start the camera app (working with OpenCamera also, not only the builtin cam-app ???).

Big thanks...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yo7fb:
I dont think, same time first boot could be longer, u flash dirty last build over carbon rom? I suppose!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
No. Clean flash each time. Full wipe before flash. Phone will not boot with SD card installed. Card is 128gb.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yo7fb:
What version of TWRP?

I'm on 32g card ,never this problem ,in recovery u see the card?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
TWRP_z3c_2017-04-26. The same version I used when installing Lineage. The SD card is seen in Recovery but it only shows the Lost and Found folder.

Steps I use to install,

Put phone into Fastboot mode using Flashtool,

Flash TWRP,

Do full wipe in TWRP,

Copy over Rom and Gapps to phone,

Flash Rom,

Flash Gapps,

Reboot from TWRP,

Leave phone until it boots into Carbon Rom.

Because my phone is not rooted TWRP has to be flashed using Flashtool each time I want to install a Rom. Once the phone has booted normally TWRP is no longer there.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] yo7fb:
Try to restore whith EMMA flash tool, after use https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/d5803-z3c-aries-twrp3-0-t3543113.its 3.1.1.0 version To boot on recovery press vol-down + power, when phone vibrate, unpress only power button. See logo 'Sony' unpress vol-down button.

I don't think the root is guilty for your trouble. Maybe u use same encryption on SD,i don't now, flash this twrp and if u see all sd content go forward. Good luck!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
Ok I will give that a go tonight. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Kalimohan:
I guess, you encrypted your phone? :confused:

Encryption does not work properly.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xox101:
Nope. Phone not encrypted and doing a general search it seems this is a problem with Android 7 and 128gb cards. I deleted the partitions on the card using Gparted in Linux and then formatted the card using the long format in Windows. As Fat 32. Put the card back in the phone and Android sees it as a new card, mounts and formats it. Hopefully I won't have any further trouble rebooting.

Sorry this took so long, I have tested the acdb kernel commits with rcstars repos extra audio blobs and the in call audio is still static, and the echo on the line is actually worse. Can anyone on Carbon confirm if the acdb commits actually help on android 7.x.x I know they did the business on omni 6.0. I am now going to try some the changes omni made to their qcom_audio repo to see if that works.

specifically these commits https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/project:android_hardware_qcom_audio-caf-msm8974

Also I would like to check I am adding the blobs correctly, I have added this include line in the commonconfig.mk file

obviously alongside cloning the repo into that location

The commits you linked are all related to the CAF Hals. Those were never used on the Sony devices ;)

rcstar6696 confirmed its working on his sirius. However, it seems like the blobs are device specific. Try pulling the blobs from the Z3 Compact stock ROM, and see if those do better. The Weeklys that will be released later this day will have the ACDB commits included btw ;)
