I'm back to stock for now. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
Too many issues with these ROMs, or :P? I'm on Carbon, tried two times now that my phone froze completely when I start a call - it's not exactly the time you'd want your phone to be unstable :/
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] arsradu:
Not really issues. Just performance seems to be better with stock (then again, it's 6.0.1, not 7.1.2 so there's that). And battery life is something that has always been worse with custom ROMs. Any custom ROM. On any device I had so far. So...yeah. For now, I'm back to stock. Didn't have any "stability" issues. Just..better performance with the stock ROM. Which is perfectly normal, and anyone flashing a custom ROM should be aware of that. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
I don't agree at all.

OmniRom have great battery life. It depends on performance tunings made by the devs, and obviously, how many malware (gapps, whatsapp, etc..) you install on it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] arsradu:
Hello. :) Let's clarify a few things, shall we?

1. This is not a debate. It's just me sharing MY opinion, based on MY experiences so far with custom ROMs. There's is nothing to agree or disagree on. It's just an opinion.

2. I never tried OmniROM. So, if you have, and you had better experiences with it, that's great. And also good for other people to be informed about it. But it doesn't change my experience with the ROMs I've tried. I hope it's clear now.

3. I don't use WhatsApp or other battery intensive apps. In fact, I barely use the phone at all. And, I'm using the same apps with both the custom ROM, and the stock ROM. So, if there is something to drain the battery, it should do it on both. Logic, right? Still, it doesn't. So, it's not the app, and it's not my usages. But you do have a point. It could have been that. :)

4. Gapps are not malware. And neither is WhatApp (which I don't use anyway). :)) And, as I said above, I barely use the phone enough to actually get one. Come on man, it's not my first day using Android phones. I think you can give me some credit here.

5. I've used to build Android myself. There are a few on this forum. So I know what kind of tweaks can be made here. :) Still, that doesn't change my experience.

One last thing: please, don't get things personally. Cause they're not. :)) You got all upset cause I said I switched to stock because I found that, for MY particular use case, and in MY experience, it's just better than the custom ROMs I've tried so far. Which, is also intended. This is not Google and it's not SONY or Samsung or other manufacturer. It's a forum for enthusiasts and people who want to help other people. Devs are doing the best they can with what they have. And they're doing a great job. But, in my opinion, it cannot and will not be the same until the manufacturer publishes their source code.

I hope everything is clearer now. And I hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts on a few things. After all, that's what forums are for. :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Just one point you missed. Am not upset because your are back on stock rom, everyone is free to do what he want with the device, am not here to blame that. At all :)

Am upset because of this:

If you are experiencing issue, post a report. Or, tell this is your experience, not something general.

I wont argue on the other point, public discussion closed. If you want to continue, lets do this on PM :highfive:

Oh BTW, another point you seems to miss: am one of the member who made this rom that's why I take it personally ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] arsradu:
Hey man. :)

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I perfectly understand your point of view. And I would probably take it personally if it were my ROM, too. Also, thanks for pointing out the statement I made before. Which could indeed be interpreted as "all custom ROMs are bad". Which is definitely not the point I wanted to make. And it obviously depends on everyone's need and usage. Of course. No question about it. I was only referring to myself and my personal opinion based on my experiences with the custom ROMs I've tried so far.

And since I clearly didn't use all the ROMs on this forum (including OmniROM, of which I actually heard many good things), my opinion was also more prone to mistakes than it probably should have been. :) I apologise for that.

Anyway, there is no point to argue about it. Be it privately or in public. :)) I don't mind it either way. But the thing is, I probably should have better explained that the statement above applies to my own experience. So that people don't get the wrong idea.

Other than that, congrats on your work, keep up the good work, and I hope I'll see you around. It was nice talking to you. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Do you know if there will be a Lineage OS 15.0 or 15.1 from Tomascus for this phone, or will it be only OmniRom to bring Oreo for our Z3c?

Not asking for an ETA or anything. Not a question of "when", just a question of "if".

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
[MENTION=4675360]tomascus[/MENTION] already posted into this thread about oreo.

AFAICT only omnirom is being worked for aries right now.

Maybe [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION] can release a version but we still do not have access to his source to build it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] claudiobar:
Hi there guys.. I'm kind of in the dark in one regard, so any advice would be gladly thanked.

I didn't backup my DRM keys when switching to Lineage.

Does it make any sense for me to flash Port Stock Sony Cam 3.4? I mean, can both cams co-exist? Is ported stock cam any better than SnapCam? And last but not least, does flashing CyberianMod afterwards improve anything? I tried to answer these questions many times going forth and back through the forums, but I'm still at a loss.

In other words: for a guy released of his DRM keys, what offers the best possible pic quality now between Lineage's stock // Port 3.4 // Open Camera ?

Thanks for any input.

And a huge thanks to the developers once again
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cooltime:
Encountering some issues, but I haven't had time to narrow down whether it's the ROM, device, or carrier. Specifically I have:

- awful microphone quality, frequent cuts (seems to happen on recorder and in calls) | edit: recorder seems fine, have not tested phone yet

- not receiving calls anymore (haven't tested outgoing calls lately) | edit: my bank tried to call me to confirm my identity (I pressed a button for them to make the call) and I didn't receive any call on my phone. this is after multiple restarts, along with reports from other people that they can't call me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] rhino2000:
Just a quick question about wifi - i want to turn off 2.4ghtz radio so I only see 5ghtz and force 802.11ac when i connect to a specific connection

I can't see anywhere to turn off 2.4ghtz nor tell the phone to use 802.11ac.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Nazo:
Is this one still active at all? Will it receive the security patch for Specter/Meltdown (presuming it's applicable. It isn't very clear since full details aren't released yet, but supposedly it affects a lot of ARM architecture devices in addition to Intel x86 devices.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Am still trying to build some POC for our device but shinano should not be affected (Krait variant), or at least, not in a well known way.

Also if you trust what is running on your device (rom, application, and webpages) there is no need to worry about :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Nazo:
They really haven't been very clear on the issue at all. I still don't understand how ARM architecture devices not made by ARM would be supposedly so certain to have the issue -- it would mean they specified that this particular implementation must be made in a pretty exact manner I presume. (Ok, I don't know anything about CPU design, but I really just don't see how Samsung, Qualcomm, and so on all could be implementing the exact same functions in the exact same way.) If it's something where a prospective exploiter would have a really hard time actually utilizing it that does make me feel better. From what I understand Intel x86 is the main thing this will affect. I just want to double check on this.

It's never that simple though. I don't really install a bunch of random unknown stuff. But you never know what could become an entry point for something. Remember StageFright? I agree with the concept of safe practices being the most important security patch of all, but it shouldn't be the only one. My general rule of thumb is the really big stuff like StageFright that at least has significant potential to be randomly hit by those who enjoy such things I should definitely do, but little random stuff that would be really hard for someone not explicitly trying to break into my device specifically (which is obviously unlikely and not particularly worth their while besides) I don't worry much about.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kiwiii97:
I don't want to seem rude or anything of that matter. I'm just curious, that's all:

Has there been an update to this since the 7th of October last year? I personally have that version, and I really like the ROM, but I wouldn't mind an update, or any heads up about when I can expect one. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
tomascus isn't working on this rom anymore afaik. The releases I have posted here are based on the same work he did, just with security patches and OMS. The latest security patch on lineage is still December. When January is merged I might rebuild again.

If you want an up to date ROM try Omni, nailyk and others have made great progress with it over the holiday period
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dastu:
But this would mean a full wipe and new setup of the phone from scratch, right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
yes since you are moving to a different ROM and version of Android
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Nazo:
Honestly, Omni is a bit more extreme than just "a different version." This one is nice because it's as close to stable as something like this is going to get, so it's kind of sad that there's not any real development for it. Well, I can't deny that it's for an older not as commonly used phone (but surprisingly hard to replace. Just about the only ones that give you a small form-factor without gutting performance and all around quality would just be the Z5 Compact and maybe one of the newer X line that struck me as being a lot less open.) Everyone else either makes a giant screen phone or some gutted economy model for something that isn't huge. Still, it's hard to blame devs for moving on after all. And most people don't have the same problems some like myself do where giant devices don't fit in your hands so well (at least in theory. I sure see a lot of broken screens these days...)

Anyway, if this one gets a rebuild with newer security updates it will be good enough for me. Already I've gotten more out of this phone than should even have been possible. Keep up the good work those rare few who are still doing anything with it!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
[MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION] have done a rebuild per month for security updates until now. Only for security changes. All the team move to other projects, work alone, or is busy AFK. You can take the dev of this device: everything is on github!

As I already said all the 14.1 env is still setup on my box, if commits got pushed to gerrit I can trigger a rebuild too.

Do not forget everyone here is doing this on his spare time. If you want '''stable'''' and ''''security'''' blame Sony (and every other OEM) which are doing planned obsolescence.

-----

The team bringed 8.1 with success on Omni. If you have issue with it report them, we will be glad to solved it.

But yeah, this is not the same rom as lineage (and it was the reason of my move BTW).

Please stop blaming devs while the only thing you do is sukcing it dry and complaining.

(Last part is not for you personally [MENTION=773477]Nazo[/MENTION], but am tired of reading people who do not 'care' about the work done, here, by the community. Just read the amount of ****posts in any device/rom thread! )

See ya XDA

I actually said the devs moving on made perfect sense...

Hey guys, i have an important question: Is it normal that voice messages and so on are horrible on LineageOS, CarbonROM, Custom ROMs? The sound is so bad. If i'm recording on Stock it sounds well. Could swear it was a hardware problem on LineageOS but i'm not sure.

Hello,

I am on stock rom (Android 5.1.1)

D5803_23.4.A.1.264_1289-4696_R8C_Customized DE

with

Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip root/ dual recovery.

http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-change-log.html

Bootloader is still locked.

For LineageOS 14.1 installation bootloader must be opened (=>Sony), so how to do so with 'Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26' installed?

What's the best sequenz, can bootloader be opened with 'Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26' installed?

In my opinion there is a different TWRP recovery for opened bootloader, version 3.1.1, isn't it?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3557606

Must it be flashed before or after opening the bootloader?

Thx in advance, best regards!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
First backup your TA partition (you can find the tool in the Sony Cross Device section) just in case you decide to go back stock. Unlock the bootloader and only then flash a TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/d5803-z3c-aries-twrp3-0-t3543113), reboot in your new recovery and flash Lineage.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Klbgr:
Still error 6

EDIT : I just tried to flash without removing the few lines in updater-script and it worked !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kockowan:
Can bootloader be opened with 'Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26' still installed?

Can new recovery TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/d5803-z3c-aries-twrp3-0-t3543113) be installed upon the old 'Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26'?

Thx once more...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
I don't see why not.

Before unlocking my bootloader, I had a locked version of TWRP and everything went as expected.

P.S: you'd better upgrade your firmware to the latest one (.291 Marshmallow) in order to flash Lineage, is one of the requirements of this ROM
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kockowan:

I suppose he is asking about common problem in LineageOS. I do not use BT at all , but I can confirm - Mobile data reconnection issues - does not exist . I am sure because I enable it and disable in the script called every lock off/lcd switch off. Maybe both problems are device releated and z3c is not touched by it.

Nice to see you folks still updating the ROM and thanks a lot for the great work you've done already.

I would love to get encryption working in this ROM. Has anyone tried to fix it up till now?

Sadly I don't have any knowledge about software development.

However while playing around with encryption I noticed that there is no possibility to define the passphrase and also to enter a defined passphrase after encryption. So just thinking logically, this could be a reason for the phone ending in a bootloop the next reboot after encryption.

greetings
