Not on the default launcher. We plan to add the ability to hide it in the future, but its not a thing yet. Only solution so far is using a different launcher.

Ermmm, I have just removed and updated my comments regarding the camera...

(The Camera hasn't changed, it's still the same...)

It seems that the photos I took earlier are flukes, the sunny shine through the windows at the time of the day and the angle and distance, and taking them in landscape. Well unknowingly, it was in the Camera's best interest, and seemed ok'ish,, and those photos also are blurred too...

Now after taking some more, well...how embarrassing...

Thank you for rom development. I have battery drain, my phone never goes in deep sleep, it relults always active... How can I fix this ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
A simple reboot will do the trick - this behaviour occurs mostly after charging without rebooting. If there is another reason you need to analyse the active wakelocks with BBS or wakelockdetector to determine the blamable wakelock....

I wish you success

Can you implement this for perfect working camera on custom roms? https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Not yet. It's only for stock roms now.. and you'll have to have ta.img backup to use this... Which most of us do not have.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] whitenoise81:
Im also watching this with interest. Oh and I wouldn't say most of us as backing up the TA has been recommended and indeed possible for as far back as I remember.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
You already posted this in another thread and here again, why? You are aware of the fact that first people to get notified about existence of such tool before regular users are kernel and rom devs, right?

Since you asked OP in another thread to make Sony blobs work with his rom using this I'll answer here. This tool won't make Sony blobs work with custom rom, it is used to restore original TA partition on UB, thus making the device "think" as if bootloader is locked, so you get your DRM keys in place and all the goodies working without using the workaround fix every time you factory reset.

As it was already explained by [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] to make Sony camera blobs work on custom roms, stock kernel has to be modified first and along that other security mechanisms have to be bypassed (which are not part of TA partition) to be able to even boot custom rom. So in other words, this tool alone is useless on custom roms until stock kernel and blobs bringup happens. (It is a great tool though)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zEminho:
munjeni say "That mean we can use stock camera blobs finaly with AOSP, CM or whatever!!!

Do in mind this is for stock roms only! Only nougat and marchmallow by now!"

You say the tool is useless, someone is lying and giving false hope

who? I do not know
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
Here you go, have a look if you don't believe me.

Then return back to my post and read again (more than once if needed), I did not say it is useless at all, but for AOSP/CM at the moment it is, as the TA partition itself (or specifically its contents) won't magically make your pictures look better if there are no related blobs to it (stock ones), because munjeni's tool can't implement stock blobs in AOSP rom, simplified: it's not designed to, and it's not the way it works.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
That is a true! But guys which says that now about cam didn't believed me 6 month ago ;) No ofense!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
Your tool is great indeed, I've seen recognized devs praise your work, so far there are positive comments only, however I was trying to explain here for some people what is what, as various users keep spamming the threads with your tool as if it would magically make the AOSP camera same as stock. But they don't seem to understand that in order to make use of your tool (on stock so far), it has to be done individually as every device has its specific TA.img, so no rom maintainer can't implement that, users have to do it by themselves. (the ones who have their TA backed up, that is)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Christopher Price:
Realized this was asked on the first page, but is VoLTE available on this ROM?

Hoping with 28 pages now, someone could pull up the Network menu and give a quick answer - thanks in advance. Trying to do a VoLTE test and need a current VoLTE-enabled ROM, this is on the short list.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Nope. Volte doesn't work. Even I installed the ROM with this hope, ready to give my camera up, but unfortunately, it wasn't worth it. :(

EDIT: Sorry, I thought this was the Jaguar ROM thread... Ignore my reply :p

PLEEEASE, can someone give me apk of Launcher from this ROM? I would be much, much grateful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Launcher 3 is available at fdroid store but do not know if that Version works

So far i have no problems with the latest build. Cam is... and i can't find NFC buttons - but i don't need it. My SD card was shown as corrupt and after formating i'm only able to copy from intern to extern. When i try to copy from PC via USB or with card reader it doesn't work...(libmtp error)

Update: NFC is after some hours present and i can turn it on/off...

Update 2: my flashlight didn't work via dropdown button at first, then i installed openflashlight and it worked but only for a while...then i copied the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg...lets see...

Update 3: anybody out there? ;) is gps exactly working? i'm not able to get a fix with osmand+ (i try to keep the rom clean - without gapps)

Just add these 2 line in Z1 build.prop

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence

Volaaaaa !

Echo is completely gone !

Edit : Rom need acdb loader from stock to make it work
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] skaterbub2003:
Hi! I want to update to the newest version of the rom, but after flashing to the CarbonROM I can't get into the recovery mode (I am using TWRP) anymore. I have to flash the recovery mode via USB and after that I can flash the CarbonROM via TWRP, which is not really handy.

Am I the only one with this problem and how can i solve it? ^^
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
You can use TWRP Manager from Play Store to install TWRP ver3.0.2-1 'only' needed if recovery is missing.

You can also flash the ROM as you know, with 'Flashfire' from Play Store...

But this is what I do to flash the ROM update:

TWRP ver3.0.2-1 Z3C has known issues, so what I do first is to flash the 'Advanced Stock Kernel' here for TWRP 3.0.2-0 recovery:

Advanced_Stock_Kernel_Z3C_MM_6.0.1_23.5.A.1.291.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66066696

After flashing the above Kernel, reboot to recovery again, then:

Install the ROM update...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] skaterbub2003:
Okay, I am gonna try this one. Thank you! :)

Edit: Didn't work. I have installed the kernel and the Systemless SU, but after flashing your rom, I still have no TWRP or root (TWRP Manager says it needs root permissions, but can't get any.)

When I try to reboot into recovery (also with Vol UP), the phone gives a little vibration and the LED color changes, but the display stays black. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
The ROM comes with its own kernel, so the Systemless SU comes after the ROM flash, the same with MagiskSU as well...

**And if recovery is still missing, then you need to install via TWRP Manager only once ever... Then my previous post aboves method will work without needing to worry about recovery ever again...

I'm not able to upload...sorry
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Anthony25:
Actually it is not only on Waze, GPS Test shows that no GPS can be fixed, and GMaps cannot do it too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Funny, i flashed latest build, gapps, supersu and the flashlight fix in one process. Now i have a GPS fix in gmaps and osmand+...

Button for settings is not present in statusbar!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
CarbonFibers -> Statusbar -> Headers and reenable it. The Logic behind it changed between our latest builds, so if you dirtyflashed it, the logic swapped.

May I ask what flashfix you are refering too?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Ok. Thanks. Got it! What do you mean with flashfix?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
You said in your post you flashed a flashlight fix, what's that and where can I find it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Ah. I took that z1 patch what [MENTION=6948461]panzerox123[/MENTION] refers.

It makes the flashlight more brighter and it works with lockscreen button and statusbar button

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Oh i'm sorry! I thought that it was from your thread.

But you don't have to flash it, you can also just copy the unpacked file to /system/etc folder

I believe Launcher3 is now Action Launcher3 in the Play Store, or at least it's very similar. There is an is old version of Launcher3 in the F-Droid store. I don't have CR on my phone at the moment but looking on one of my tablets that has Launcher3 I found the apk in /system/app/Launcher3. However, I would give Action Launcher3 from the Play Store a try first.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Hope this will be no problem...

Btw: this is my opencamera result with less light and no flash:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Rhonin86:
not bad - what about autofocus ? have you tried multiple times ? Is it a random result or is it stable in usage ?

THX in advance for your answer

Rhonin
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
I tip on the button, it zooms multiple times and i think it takes the photo whenever it thinks that it is good. But it takes better photos without flash than with... i would say that taking pictures is still away from beeing stable.

The all around usage of the image is very good! At first i tried without gapps - but that failed in some simple things. Now with open gapps pico it sorts out in a good way...

So big thank you to [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
This photo was taken this morning at Berlin Tegel Airport. For me, quality for snapshots is acceptable...i use a real camera for making normal pictures...

Yesterday with the older build model and maker was QCOM-AA now it shows Sony and XPeria Z3 compact

So i'm very happy with this build.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
That is not bad at all, I mean, except for the fisheye being an eyesore.... Do you still have to use opencamera though? I dont like that app very much ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Yeah it's open camera. All other apps are to dark
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
ehhhh.... guess ill stick around with existenz until my holidays. Need a reliable camera until then :o thanks for replying though!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I get good photos, but have to point the camera up and down until the desired focus is achieved, not so easy, but I'm happy.

And yeah, for photos a real camera is needed.

Even on stock, Sony camera has been a let down...

I mean all that advertising about how spectacular the photos are, and you can swim around taking them... Lol...

sorry, is it possibile to use cyberian camera 7.1 with carbon rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
No. Dont do that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kskarthik:
First, thanks for putting your efforts on this ROM & regular updates :)

I installed latest nightly (16th Feb) & i found some issues:

* Camera is not good :( (already reported by many ppl)

* when I take screenshot while listening to music via headphones the music switches to speaker

* During call when I switch to loudspeaker, guy from other side gets his voice echo & couldn't hear my voice.

* can't remove search bar in home screen (already reported)

* Bluetooth won't work ? (Can't see bt Mac address in device info)

These are issues I found so far, will update this comment if found any

Once again thanks for this ROM & requesting you to fix these above issues soon...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Bluetooth is working for me with any device i tested...

Disable searchbar >>> another launcher
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zEminho:
It looks like it has the carbon rom for z5 working with the stock kernel . this is possible in Z3 and Z1?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
It is possible, but it requires a lot of work. As I stated before (I think it was the Z3 thread though) there are some people working on it already, but it requires a lot of time and patience.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Sony has stock kernel's for Nougat for Z5.

The Z3C only has stock kernel's for Marshmallow as Sony has officially ended stock firmware for Z3C, so there is no stock Nougat for our device, hence no stock kernel for us.

It is a possibility of stock Marshmallow kernel for Nougat custom ROMs, but this is for the developers of custom ROMS to decide on what they believe is best for the kernel's future... As any direction they make is time consuming, and support for older kernels will end as well as it's security, and the present kernel will have the latest technologies, security and advantages, moving forward...

I have no idea on what the plans are, but they have our best interests at heart...

[emoji7]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
And on that exact post I also stated that the Z5 stock bringup was done on the M kernel as the stock Nougat kernel (and ROM for that matter) wasn't released by that time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Wow, amazing...

You guy's are so smart..

Ooooo, I didn't receive your post until after I posted mine and only after a while mine updated... [emoji23]

Mines actually 1 minute before yours, hahaha
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
LineageOS was booted on Z3 with stock kernel and blobs, as reported by the dev yesterday, but he still has more bugs to fix and it won't be released yet. So of course that means that it can be done eventually on Z3C as well, just don't ask for ETA.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Itll be interesting to see actually. So does that mean better camera? Sorry I'm just curious... ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
Yes, since there are stock blobs, stock camera quality can be expected :) Probably even munjeni's tool can be used as well to restore original TA.img thus having the locked bootloader quality on custom rom(s), at least that's theoretically possible :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Frankly, Eve without the DRM fix the camera will is usable. Its just for a few noise reduction technologies that we need munjeni's tool ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I love this ROM, I like to set animation settings in developer settings to 0.3x, as it's quite cool...

-Update-

Discovered the multiple themes for headers in the settings, epic!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kskarthik:
Can you pls tell me more details of this tool? Will this be helpful with carbon ROM ? I am on latest weekly & camera is not at all good & I hate going back to stock ROM

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
And I use pitch black (#000000) wallpaper for home and lockscreen..

[emoji7]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
It's not an amoled screen, the Wallpaper color should be unimportant ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Does that mean it needs all the acdb blobs as well? ie MTP

are you using the extra stock acdb blobs ie the ones in the etc/acdbdata/ /fluid /liquid /MTP & /sony

or is it just the the libacdbloader.so blob. Are you using the other generic blobs in vendor/lib too like libacdbmapper?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] akshay2shah:
Yes you need all.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
I don't know but nobody said until now to me that i have an echo while calling...

Is that only on some devices?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
No, that should have happend on every device.

Don't worry about it though, as its fixed on the upcoming weekly builds :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kskarthik:
Wow! Thanks! Please also fix the camera. I also found another issue today. While watching YouTube videos on mobile site they have a green filter. Did you experience it?

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Switch to loudspeaker during a call, other person can't hear you clearly
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
IPS also benefits from black, not just amoled screens..

IPS do not share the same properties as it's LCD brothers...

But this idea of mine is ridiculous, power saved is too minimal...

And the entire line must be 0 0 0, if any coloured pixels are adjacent on the same line, the entire line must be refreshed...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sumajo:
hey,

I am a newbie. I have installed the current rom at the weekend. Before it I have used cm12. I am not a developer but I hope I can help you with my feedback.

Here are my bugs:

- the camera is not able to focus

- the gps is not fixing my position - tested with osmand+

- the echo bug - only sometimes

- green filter over youtube

Otherwise you have done a great job :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
Camera IS able to focus - it just needs time

GPS is working for me in gmaps, waze, osmand+ and in pictures

echo never noticed (don't use loudspeaker but bluetooth)

YouTube via Chromium works fine - don't have useless apps like this ;)

Camera is indeed the only problem left...(for me)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
I stated multiple times I can't do anything about the camera.

I was actually not thinking about the refreshing thing. Just had the AMOLED feature in mind where at 100% black the Pixels don't get turned on at all (and hence save battery).

Intresting to know though, thanks for cleaning that up :)

the newest blobs (V9, Weekly with that got uploaded 2 hours ago) should improve the Cam. wasn't able to test on my own yet.

I forgot to fix the GPS this weekly run, sorry, I know whats causing it, (I didnt add the GPS sources, derp) and will fix it until the next run of Weeklies.

Echo bug should be fixed thanks to [MENTION=7333858]akshay2shah[/MENTION]s research. Report back if thats working on the latest Weekly.

Green Filter is something we are looking into.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I am indeed wrong, I rechecked, and saw this slide by LG:

I just read that the backlit is always on regardless of the pixel colour... (as you probably guessed)

Yip, the black colour blocks the light, but doesn't turn it off...

Also the refresh is vertical, and is negligible...

[emoji12]

I can assume our Bavaria IPS screens behave the same way... Duh...

Lol, I thought the GPS bug would only be temporary, as it was working previously...

Well at least my wallpapers going to be much nicer, ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
So why the hell are my maps working? Because of dirty flash over pre-last?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
It was working previously, but the AOSP project moved on to an opensource GPS driver. I updated the vendor blobs (so I removed the prebuilt GPS) but I didnt add the GPS code to the build dependencies which is why its not getting build.

Your Maps likely are working because they get their data from the Wifi/the mobile data connection or something like that. Test with GPS Status and see if its actually able to lock GPS satellites. It shouldn't be able to do that (as bc of the reason above).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sumajo:
Thanks for the information. I will test it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sumajo:
Probably this is not a bug from the rom. But maybe someone know a solution or a link to the solution.

By updating the rom with twrp 3.0.2-1 I get following notification:

E3004: This package is for "D5803,D5833,z3c,aries" devices

this is a " "

Have someone experience with this error?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
You need to delete get.prop lines in the updater-script... It's an issue with Z3c in general I think.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I'm getting no sound on latest build, 22nd

Please let me know if it's not the ROM's problem.

What could it be?

Tried wiping system, and flashing the ROM without any extras, but same result?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sumajo:
Where I can find this script?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
Ummm ... It's hard to type on XDA labs. Search on this thread. You'll find it :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kskarthik:
Yeah, the Same happened to me. I had done what you said
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] panzerox123:
And? Did it work?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Can confirm, sorry. I have an idea whats causing it too, will do some tests with that tomorrow. I'd suggest to revert to the last build for now. Sorry for the issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] sorry sir can i ask you one thing for i know you are a carbon master, even if maybe this doesn't apply to z3c as it has virtual buttons actually so this is not device specific.

do you know if carbon rom has multiple actions assignable to hw buttons in phones that have them? i don't mean the cm/los few basic actions (search, screen off etc) but the multiple extra actions that are included in roms like RR for example (example in the attached screen).

thanks in advance and in any case from an old z3c user and sorry for posting here ;)
