I have noticed reduced SoT, probably this will be ironed out in the later stages. The SMS app won't allow me to search messages, as in there is no search function. Is this new in MM? Strange decision from Google if so.

Screen flickers have gone away for the most part here too. Probably browser related. But I see it in SoundCloud actually, when I minimize a song on the app it goes green/purple ish.

Dare I ask how it's going lowtraxx? ... did it build with the new sources?

Are you faced with a long list of fixes?

Keep up the good work!!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
How does the saying go? A picture says more than thousand words. :) All went well, but there are still a few kinks to be worked out. I have fixed most of the bugs by now, but Volume still won't be fixed in this build (I even reverted the patches for Audio from the last version, because they were causing the echo and a few other hiccups). I will start testing on my build in the evening, and will upload by tomorrow evening, if I don't discover any more show stoppers.

Hi, brother.

How is deep sleep?

My AICP android 7.1.2 is terrible battery drain.

It is hard to go into deep sleep state.

I am interested in your LOS 7.1.2 build.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
No battery drain issues on lowtraxx's Rom!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Hi, will try tonight and report battery stats back tomorrow!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Works as expected here. No wakelocks and deep sleeping like a baby ;) [MENTION=5688409]koron393[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] CrazyPeter:
Screen flickers in stock too in chrome 57. Chrome 58 fixes it (gradual rollout, grab it from. Apkmirror).

I'm currently back on stock, might jump back to this rom if there is a new update coming soon! Any news on lineage and Sony merges?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Newest 7.1.2 Release. Did not test as long as I would want, but couldn't keep you guys waiting any longer :) Please report any Bugs you find. (Except Volume related stuff, I know all about that ;))

Changelog (LineageOS):

27.04.2017 - V6:

- Newest Lineage, Sony and Android Sources

- Android April security patches

- Small fixes everywhere
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
Thanks a lot Lowtraxx!! love this rom!!

Just to make sure, we can dirty flash in twrp without wiping anything?

And we dont need to flash the gapps after dirty flash?

Thanks for you work.

regards Torben5247
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I did dirty flash and it worked without a hitch, but make a backup nonetheless. No GApps flashing until something goes wrong!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] raoncat:
Just upgraded to V6 and it works great!

But It seems like my issue hasn't fixed.

Anyway, thanks for you effort, lowtraxx.

I love your rom.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] wulfiss:
I had only a problem with the set-up wizard setup, when I did a clean flash, so I did clean flash of the rom and reboot and then did a dirty flash of the gapps and it works perfectly..

And thanks again for your work.

Sorry for my English is very crappy
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] fryguyse:
With V6, I couldn't get past the configuration wizard, but i'll give it another try. I did use an old GApps though, so i will try with a newer one first.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] wulfiss:
do a clean flash of the rom, reboot, and the do a dirty flash of the gapps. That works for me.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] b8drf:
Installed v6 zip via TWRP dirty flash over v5, no problems. I still have the in-call lack of volume control which I thought had been fixed in the newer Lineage sources, but maybe this was overwritten by the rollback of audio patches to last version?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] fryguyse:
What do you mean with DirtyFlash, just flash without wipeing cache etc?

I already tried that, no dice i'm afraid.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Sadly (in principle) nothing to do with Lineage. It seems to be the same bug with the other volumes not working right. Sadly it still eludes me and the Sony Devs are not able to support it, as it seems to not occur on their (old) AOSP builds.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tdth99:
Not for me unfortunately :(

Shame as I use it a lot when travelling.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
for some strange reason i can't get dirty flash method to work.

i installed the zip file, didn't wipe anything, in twrp 3.1.0.0 but the boot logo just showed in 15 minuttes .

i restored v.5 from my backup.

installed the zip again and wiped cache.

same result bootlogo in 15 minuttes.

so i ended up doing a clean install, wiped everything, installed the zip. booted up fine.

the google setup didn't work.

so i followed the advice from fryguyse. and now v6 is running perfect!

the only thing i can think of is that i dont flash supersu after dirty install the v6 .zip.

maybe that is why it won't start up.

My tablet is sgp611 Scorpion windy.

Thanks lowtraxx for your work!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bonzai80:
V6 works like a Charme for me. (using the SGP621) Thanx for your efforts!

BTW : Dirty flashing for me always works best if you follow the flashing rulez - for the Sony it's like follows:

1. Download Rom.zip, put it on external Sd

2. Extract Rom.zip and put boot.img to Adb folder on Computer

3. Boot to Download Mode

4. Flash boot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

5. Fastboot reboot

6. When Sony Logo shows up, start pressing Vol up till TWRP is booting up

7. Install Rom.zip (to be save, backup first!!)

8. Clear Cache/dalvik and reboot

With all my recent flashes, I had no Problem following this Procedere.

Good luck out there ???
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
MHL is on my list, but with all the DRM libraries it's a pain in the neck, so no ETA.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] b8drf:
Lowtraxx, Just out of interest, what does your "list" look like currently, the top 5?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
I just did the update following your tutorial... without luck :crying:

For some reason i just cant update without doing clean installation....

But i am using titanium backup, so it is quit easy reinstall apss.

Thanks for your reply. :good:

ps: is it sgp611 you have used the method on?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
v6 on my sgp611 was running 300 mhz almost all the time when the tablet was unused.

Normally it will be in deep sleep much more.

in the logcat i could see that the nfc was causing issues.

I tried to copy the files from post #93.

And now the tablet is in deep sleep mode as before upgrading from v5 to v6.

I am not pointing fingers at anyone, just want to share my experinces.

I am so happy that lowtraxx are giving us this rom!

Regards Torben5247
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] baristaman:
I had the same thing. I also found that I couldn't turn off the NFC, the toggle was greyed out. I was going to try a clean installation before posting. I saw the fix in #93 but I didn't have a chance to try it yet. Thanks for attempting this and reporting! And thanks yet again to [MENTION=615507]lowtraxx[/MENTION] for all his hard work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bonzai80:
Sorry, I forgot to mention... I have the SGP621, maybe this is really hardware related stuff. I am sorry, that I couldn't help you.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] b8drf:
Yes, same for me. NFC toggle greyed out. Replaced the 2 libnfc conf files from earlier post, rebooted and can now set NFC. Strange. Maybe related to a dirty flash from v5 to v6?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
i did clean flash and had same issue.... But the files fixed it :D
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] b8drf:
When setting NFC, does anyone see the NFC icon in the status bar?

I thought that used to be displayed, but I no longer see it as an option in System => Status bar => System icons
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] baristaman:
No status bar NFC icon here. The quick tile does light up, though. This is with the two files added, I don't know what it did before I added them.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] jojo-g:
no WIFI

first of all, thanks for your work and efforts.

For any reason my lineageos starts right after installation, but in the setup wizard WIFI won't be turned on so that restore from cloud wont work.

Is this a common problem?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
i had the same issue.

in post #343

it is explained that you

"do a clean flash of the rom, reboot, and the do a dirty flash of the gapps. That works for me." :good:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] summit777:
How's battery life on V5/6? Better than CM12.1? Better than Stock?

So we must flash GAPPS if we want to use this ROM?

I am assuming we only need gapps in the case of using Google Backup cloud?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
I have never used a andriod tablet without gapps. So i don´t now if will work without gapps.

But i think everyone needs playstore??

i have flashed the newest open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano

regards Torben5247
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] jojo-g:
you can use an android device without google account and without gapps. But in my opinion it is of very limited use then. Depends on your user profile.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Thanks for your reply. Although that didn't fix the problem. I installed previous version v5, setup everything and then dirty flashed v6. Now everything is fine. Either it has to do with setup wizard or with my account. For now I'm happy with it.

Thanks to all.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] summit777:
I never use any of Googles' privacy nightmares :p.

FDroid has most apps anyway and everything you can't get from there you can download from apkpure or similar.

No need for Playstore or Gapps.

Nokia HERE is better than Google Maps.

K9 Mail + Protonmail is better than Gmail.

Yandex.Disk is better than Google Drive.

.

.

.

Why would I need the whole Google closed-source GAPPS framework with 100+ NSA backdoors if I can just download all apps from web?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I am very sorry. The NFC bug came back, because I overwrote some files while merging everything in. It didn't hit me until I updated my sources today and saw the conflict. It will be fixed in the next build, that should be here soonish, but for now you can use the fixed files from Post #93 to make it go away.

The setup wizard should work without problems, but I will try a clean install later today. It should always be possible to install the ROM without GAPPS! I'll keep you updated with my findings.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bonzai80:
First impression of V6 after a few days using it :

For me, battery life improved a lot (tablet is going more to sleep and consumes less during on times)

Volume works quite well now, not noticed any failure so far!

NFC I am not using, so no bug to me ??
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Bruce666:
What about SGP612?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Chima2:
Agreed, battery seems better this time around! Charging also seems faster today me, but that could be my mind playing tricks. Same issue with volume when my BT headphones aren't connected but no biggie. Nfc is not Grey, but can't turn it on. Dev said next build will fix that.

Great rom really, happy that our Z3TC got a Dev putting in time. Let us remember to donate if we benefit from his work! :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] goolby:
Thank you for this rom, here is a coffee "2D9091505A959060P" :good:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Chima2:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] fryguyse:
Workaround for the crashing LineageOS configuration Wizard, when you are running the config wizard swipe down and go to settings and connect to a wifi and the configuration wizard will not crash anymore.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] beetmonger:
Thanks for doing this! I've missed my Z3TC. Any chance of getting this working for a 612?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] _galacticus_:
Runs like a charm on my 612. Except for battery life, which was outstanding with stock, but I guess this is what it costs running 7.1.2 ?. Thanks for the great work
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] criscris2:
I confirm battery discharge issues, all off except wifi

;)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
Remember to do the nfc fix explained in post 93.

Dear Lowtraxx

V6 is running very fine! thanks for your hard work!

I am just about to upgrade my wife´s z3t but before i crack on i want to ask if there is a new build on its way?

I don´t want to put pressure on you, i just dont wan´t to upgrade today and then you release a new build tommorow... hope you understand

Thanks in advance

Torben5247
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] JeremyHTCA9:
Any change MHL support will happen in future release?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I am sick ATM and not able to do much coding. So new build will be delayed till beginning of next week earliest.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] finalista:
get well:good:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
That is a quite complex use case. So one step at a time :)

1. Last I checked I could open the RAW files from my Alpha5000 in Lightroom

2. NFC is flakey, so I cannot guarantee that pairing always will work

3. The device on CM/Lineage seems to be picky sometimes to which Chromecast device it connects but it basically works

Warning, you will need to factory reset to try this!

If you still want to try out Lineage I recommend to flash the latest stock images (6.0.1) to get the latest radio images. Flashtool is your goto there. After that (you need an unlocked bootloader from hereon out) you bring your device into fastboot mode (VolUp while plugging into PC), download the zip from here, extract it and flash the boot image via fastboot flash. Then download your favourite recovery (I would suggest koron393's version of twrp from here and flash it to the FOTAKernel partition with fastboot. Reboot, enter recovery (pressing VolUp a few times once the purple LED turns on until it gets orange) and flash the zip file. Factory reset once for good measure and you are good to go.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] fryguyse:
Just wanted to say thanks for the ROM!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Jems_:
I flash it over your aosp rom. Everything is fine. The sleeping battery cons is way better. Still no miracast and YouTube not working properly in Firefox but I think this is a général pb. I think your governor is perfect for me, i feel the tablet really smooth .thank you very much for your work
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
New Version available incorporating lots of changes. Please as always on builds with changes to SELinux and Android version please do a Backup before flashing. If you experience bootloops after flashing, please flash THE SAME GApps you used the last time on top.

Changelog (LineageOS):

10.01.2017 - V2:

- Newest Lineage, Sony and Android patches

- Update to newest Nougat with Jan Security patches

- NFC fixes (Worked mostly reliable in my tests and no Log Spam)

- Many SELinux changes
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] wulfiss:
the last version (v2) works fine, without any problem (SPG611) but NFC, i can't test it because i don't have another device with it.

and i have a doubt, Is there any way that the apps which use gyroscope will show up again in google play? because for example apps for virtual reality doesn't appear.

thank you for your work and bring these roms for the tab. :D

sorry for my bad english I'm doing my best to improve it..
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] finalista:
is it safe to format /cache partition as F2FS?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ericso:
Not About NFC...

Can i flash latest stock images (6.0.1) radio images into LineageOS recovery GP641 LTE Band?

Others..

My SGP641 Can't use sideload to flash , Result => Updater process ended with ERROR :7

So...Can i use TWRP's Install ZIP to flash this ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] markus24:
Hi, this is the first custom ROM I installed on my SGP612. The first impression is really awesome. :good:

Bugs: GPS doesn't show any satellites. Location service is working using Google services and Wifi. No big deal because I usually I don't need GPS on the tablet. NFC is untested.

What I miss is the Quick Charge capability. It takes several hours to recharge the battery. Any plan to add this in the future?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Zappy24:
I did some digging, though won't pretend I'm any sort of expert but it looks like the HVDCP service needs to enabled for it to charge at QC 2.0 speeds. It seems to be disabled by default by Sony in their AOSP builds for safety concerns.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Nick-W:
Hey, thanks for this ROM. It works great so far other than the GPS. I'm using Scorpion Windy (SGP611) and the v2 ROM release.

I'm not able to get any GPS fix or find any satellites at all. I backed up my ROM in TWRP, and flashed to stock to try out GPS there. GPS worked great in the stock ROM and got a fix very quickly. I then restored my LineageOS backup in TWRP and it's back to GPS not working. Location via play services WiFi/Bluetooth works, but not the GPS receiver.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I will have a look any maybe integrate it into the next version if it works.

See above for QuickCharge.

You should be able to flash the latest radio images via flashtool if you get the ftf. Do you have any logs for the failed sideload attempt?

We have a reversed engineered replacement for QCOM GPS coming in the next release.

SGP612, may I request some tutorial for it, as everything concerns 611 and 621?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] rrdna:

Edit: Found problem.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] rrdna:
Thanks for the ROM, its running very smooth and i really love the nougat split-screen feature, especially because it makes much more sense on a tablet than on a small phone screen.

Could you please add two lines at the bottom of the ROM build.prop?

log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true

This will force the lockscreen to rotate, while operating in landscape mode. Else, you always have to flip your tablet back to portrait mode each time you want to unlock the device.

Keep up the good work!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] markus24:
SGP612 is the same as SGP611, only difference is the 32GB internal storage (compared to 611 with 16GB). Use the scopion_windy ROM file and follow the standard instructions.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
Hi Lowtraxx, now that the LineageOS community is supplying the superuser addon as a separate download https://download.lineageos.org/extras, will you continue to include it in your rom?

Much thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Hi Lowtraxx, I wrote too soon about LineageOS's root tool, CM/LineageOS forgets my root settings on reboot whether I install LineageOS's addon or not - I'm going back to Phh Superuser apk :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Haven't given it much thought yet. I think I will remove root, so everyone can decide for themselves if they want it. Or not if you guys prefer differently :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
That's probably for the best, I read somewhere today that LineageOS community as a whole isn't going to include it in the rom and it's up to the user to install or not - suits me.

p.s. LineageOS's root addon worked fine after a reboot - just install it along with the rom :cool:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] criscris2:
With fix savings improves but not much. With original rom stayed standby a week using it only for youtube 30 mins around the day, now 3 or 4 days completely unloading ..

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
I have a sgp611 without cellular receiver, only wifi.

I am using the scorpion windy image.

sgp 612 is also only wifi version (32g version) so scorpion windy is the version you should choose.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ManiacMatt:
Thanks for your help. I posted the below in another rom thread but it appears lineageos is the most frequently updated for this tablet - can I please have the lineageos community's thoughts?

I use my tablet for ps4 remote play and I'm still on kitkat for this reason - marshmallow introduces too much input lag.

I would however like to update and will try your rom.

I understand I have to have the drm keys/ta partition backed up prior to unlocking the bootloader as I will lose this and this is required for the official remote play app to be installed (among other things). I have the scorpion_windy. Just to check can someone please confirm this is correct before I start?

1) backup drm keys/ta partition

2) install recovery twrp

3) backup with twrp (to be safe!)

4) use twrp to flash the rom/install google apps

5) restore the drm keys/ta partition

Presume the above should give me access to the ps4 remote play app ok?

Also has anyone tried remote play on this rom - any thoughts on input lag?

Thanks for all of your help
