Does this mean the DRM keys stay intact for this? iirc, its the TA partition that gets wiped on unlocking the bootloader...

EDIT: That being said, its *years* since I looked at this - so my info may be very outdated...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
No, they are two different things.

The TA partition *get* atlered while unlocking bootloader.

However with month of sleepless nights we are now able to provide stock camera quality. This is not true for all other Sony's craps like audio enhencement.

Technical details: all Sony's ****s check if bootloader is unlocked, as it is contained into TA partition, no way to fake it, except [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] trick.

/!\ TA partition is not emptied at bootloader unlock! If you wipe your TA partition, you will get a brick *forever*.

[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] no worries ;)

Right, that kinda removes my doubts then.... Bricks here I come! :P

external sd works fine as F2FS (ext4 should be fine too).

Yep - I don't see any issues here either.... That was very painless (apart from installing a million apps!).

F2FS worked fine. Got heaps of space. I'm happy. Well done to all involved!

One issue I noticed today... I charge my Z3 using the magnetic connector in the car... I noticed today that the battery was discharging while I used the GPS while having the magnetic connector connected.

When I looked in Settings -> Battery, it showed "Not Charging".

The stock ROM would always charge while using the GPS for navigation while using the magnetic cable.

A bit of heads up

For nougat:

WPA flaw is patched, all releases since 17th October will be ok for krackattack.

We are working on some 'unify' script to get one single release for z3 single & z3 dual. As the script is not fully working yet, only single sim device works. Something is preventing the script to run, so releases don't have RIL until you trigger the script by hand.

We are working on something to release a working release with the WPA fix asap.​

For Oreo:

@rcstar6696 [MENTION=1068260]Diewi[/MENTION] made amazing work and fixed almost everything. Yesterday night we had the camera 90% starting. BT is close to be ok too. Give us some more time to fix the remaining bugs.

Every ETA asks will be reported. ​

For both:

We are working on patches for OpenDelta. OpenDelta is the official way to send OTA to our devices.

When this patch will be over, we will be able to send you releases trough the official updater. More information about this while it will be ok.​
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tiliarou:
Amazing news :) Especially regarding the Dual, I hope you can streamline releases without having to manually build for single and for dual...

Personally I don't care for Oreo for now, I would prefer a stable bug free Nougat than an Oreo build but it's dev choice after all so I know you will do the best :angel:

Open delta is a very good news indeed as well !
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
I totally agree. however it is not OmniRom choice.

IMHO as they don't have enough people, they only maintain the current release. So only O is improved now.

(Security patches are still applied to N however.)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Canneloni:
Unfortunately I didn't completely understand what this means and just updated to the latest version from "mirror" and now I don't see any SIM Card. How can I trigger the script by hand? Or should I rather go back to my backup from the older build?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
My bad.

zip removed.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
I'm sure you've already done it but use the backup for now :p

2017-10-18

[MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] is currently posting links into the OP.

Lot of important changes here,

- Device was renamed z3 instead of leo,

- This release ""should"" support all leo variants. However, the script is on early stages: expect troubles.

In case of problem with RIL process the following:

Reboot into recovery,

connect to shell then:

mount /system
ln -s /system/vendor/etc /vendor/etc
sh /system/etc/init.blobs.sh

This build is patched against wpasupplicant attack (krackattack)

Some improvements about external sdcard & charging.

Let us know :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Links should be up! :)

tried dirty flash first time from twrp, didnt work, rebooted to system, then rebooted to twrp again, flahed and it worked this second time. rom is smooth. great work
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] juancaretta:
Flashed the rom per the instructions, but my SIM card isn't being detected, everything else seems OK. Tried running the commands specified in the post but no change, also tried running only the symlink command but nothing changed either. Tried dirty flashing the ROM, wiping system and data but nothing seems to change.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] CRCinAU:
For troubleshooting, can you reboot back in TWRP, then from the "Terminal" within TWRP, run the following - then capture the output.

1) mount /system

2) ls -l /vendor/etc

3) ls -l /system/vendor/etc/

I'm guessing you didn't run the script above properly through TWRP... Although it could also be a script problem for your phone.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
What model of Z3 do you have?

Could be model specific would be useful to know :)

Perfect ROM!

Hello guys!

First of all, thank you for the amazing Rom.

I'm coming from Los 14.1.

Only the second version of this rom and it works like a charm. I don't know what you did in the latest version, but my battery life was greatly increased. Before I used to have about 60% of battery in the afternoon and now I have 85%. Although, it is true that I have set doze settings to aggressive profile.

Anyway, I installed logcat and found that there are some errors under the hood. Probably nothing special because the system runs very well. I am attaching the file.

Very nice rom, perfect job!

Best,

BK
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Thank you [MENTION=8023226]Br4no[/MENTION]!

Logs will be useful to have a browser over.

Glad you are enjoying Omni it really is a great piece of work and widens the available ROM set for the Z3 :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
Thanks for report.

Did not see something critical. There are still lot of our debug messages (like loading HAL, etc...) but you can safely ignore.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] cmonty14:

Hi,

I have a problem installing OmniROM on a Z3 Dual:

When installing the zip file in TWRP, Error 7 occurs because "z3dual" is not listed in the zip file.

Thank you for providing the ROM!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] juancaretta:
I already switched to Resurrection, so I can't check it for now. I've noted that the script is in /system/bin/init.blobs.sh, not in /system/etc/.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
yes, for now you need to edit the zip, remove the asserts lines into updater-script, then flash again.

Look at 'error 7' on your favorite search engine to get some detailed how-to.

---------- Post added at 14:02 ---------- Previous post was at 14:00 ----------

yes, wrong named. Will rename it for something like initblobset.sh . Also this script cause a lot of sepolicies issues and will hard to get working on enforcing builds.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] z3user:
Thanks. OmniROM is now running on my Z3 Dual. Needed to reset the network settings and to swap both SIMs. Information from both SIMs seemed to be mixed up before swapping (SIM1 was roaming though SIM2 should be roaming, SIM2 used network provider of SIM1, calling with SIM1 showed phonenumber of SIM2 at the receiver of the call). Now everything works well so far. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
Thanks for reporting. Indeed I noticed that sim slot problem too.

Also have problem after a reboot, looks like 'default SIM' change sometimes. Please keep me informed.

Had this problem too. [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] advised me of a trick:

1. Long press on the gearwheel for quick setting,

2. Choose nav bar,

3. Add buttons for 'Key code',

4. Choose a picture,

5. Choose 'DPAD left' or 'DPAD right'.

Looks like the pictures are lost on reboot, but key are still here.

However it was a bit tricky to get right spacing. A few tries are needed.

Oreo news

Some heads-up:

This week-end, [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] [MENTION=1068260]Diewi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION] (yes himself!) worked hard on our device. As usual we need some more cleanups but Oreo start to look usable.

Cannot take the screenshot with the rear camera as it is borken on that device but BT & camera are working, ril, wifi, display too.

Also need to rework the dual/single script as it wont be supported on official OmniRom the way it is actually.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Gixchi:
Does it mean we get omni Oreo in a day or two ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
That's very optimistic, but soon if things go right.

Oreo is early stages and Nougat is the stable ROM really.

Nailyk will get Oreo out as soon as it's ready.

It's only in the last few days that it's really gotten anywhere near usable and there are A LOT of people working on it behind the scenes / other ROM branches etc

They do what Sony cannot for Z3
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] muitenphale:
OmniROM is the most stable rom I have seen so far, more stable than lineageos. Great dev great job! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] z3user:
Hi, I realized that SMS does not work. All SMS-Apps crash when I try to start them. I do not have the changing default SIM problem you mentioned. The only problem after reboot is that some apps are not able to access the sd-card. Apart from that the ROM is great (e.g. longer battery life than before).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
No problem here with Silence.

Probably related to you external storage issue. Try to wipe external sd.

If problem still exist post a log of the crash ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Agreed. After a format of external SD card all my issues with Nougat were solved.

Possibly.

Use one of the SMS apps from fdroid they work like a charm.

One observation using other nougat ROM on 6653.

Network speed and connectivity with this ROM is very good.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
Hello guys,

I have a question that perhaps doesn't belong here.

We know that oled displays are likely to be burned in after few years of usage (google pixel 2 after a month ?) .

Our z3 has IPS panel so there is no permanent burn in. But I experience something called "ghost pixels" which is described like non-permanent issue so that it disappears after you turn the affected pixels black for a while. The ghost pixels which I see are on the place of status bar icons (wifi, battery, clock, other icons) which are always white.

i wanted to ask, if somebody of you know for sure that this cannot damage the display and the ghost change is always temporary.

Los integrated (or there is a plan to integrate) a feature which protects the most likely places (status bar, navigation bar) from burn in by somehow moving the element icons not to be on the same place all the time.

i was quite used to expanded desktop feature in LOS (hides navigation&status bar). Is something like that possible in omni?

Btw, the ROM runs really really perfectly. Thank you guys ?

Best,

Brano

App drawer with "index"

Hello!

Can you please check and confirm if the app drawer of OmniROM is similar to what I have with LineageOS based ROM (see attached screenshot)?

THX
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
You can just install any launcher you want. This is android not iOS.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] cmonty14:
True.

However I have not found any launcher that offers this simple app drawer and no other schnickschnack.

You can just copy the launcher from LineageOS /system/app to Omni in the same location and it will likely work as normal. But you didnt hear that from me ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
This is the end

This is the end for this thread

I saw some comments coming about stable/alpha/beta releases. This is not (totaly) my choice. OmniRom is not big enough to maintain more than one release at a time. Do not forget everyone is doing this on his spare time. So as oreo as been released, they mostly are working on it.

We ported the device to oreo and it is working really well, so am going there now.

No idea if upgrade will work but I highly recommend to factory reset especially because encryption header cannot be upgraded.

Also a lot of changes have been made by the contributors to make camera oreo compatible, and it will probably not survive an upgrade.

OmniRom Oreo is supposed to be an 'unified' rom. This mean the same zip/twrp apply for all z3 variants.

Hope you will enjoy it, as you have enjoyed Nougat, as we spent countless hours on it.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tiliarou:
A bit sad to see Omni also switch "right away" to Oreo... My view would be to at least release a stable of each Android major version (6.0, 7.1.2, 8.1) and not "jump" to then latest available, but as you mentioned, it's totally dev and maintainer choice :)

Hoping Oreo becomes stable for dual as well !

Thank you to all contributors !
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
We can still release some 'security' releases, no pbm for that. But we (maintainer) will probably not push any commits to N anymore.

First reason is our devices are now all O, second is we moved to the omnirom gerrit for O.

But build env, etc. is still reading and running for N. So every pushed patches will be included into builds.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
The I formation he has shared with you still stands.

Just go to the sony website and follow their instructions for bootloader unlocking.

Then to upgrade the bootloader do a full flash of the latest .291 ftf through Flashtool.

Then you have an UB and upgraded to latest version to allow booting to recovery from device off.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
Use the IMEI of SIM1 .
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] mhdazhar:
Please explain ? I come from Samsung
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tiliarou:
This has nothing to do with the brand of your previous phone.

To unlock BL, just follow sony steps on the dev website:

1st step is to check if BL can be unlocked:

"In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."

If yes, go there https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/

Then verify your email, then enter IMEI of 1st sim card:

Settings > About phone > Status.

Select the SIM card, then scroll to IMEI to view the IMEI number.

Then just follow the step, it's not that difficult to just read...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:

I know this ROM is no longer under development, but I have a problem with Bluetooth and hope that someone else might have a solution for this. Everything worked fine for the most part but somehow i can not turn on Bluetooth anymore. When i turn on the quick toogle it seems like it's turning on but nothing happens. When i go to the normal Bluetooth setting I see the switch turned off. When I try to turn it on again, nothing happens again. I already reset the networksettings, deleted cache for the Bluetooth system apps but nothing changed.

I'm currently on September 28th Build and didn't want to upgrade because everything else worked perfectly. I'm soon going to upgrade to the latest nougat build though, since i want the sony camera patch.
