Thank you.. Is there a work around for installing gapps with the new recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068:
Flash gapps with old recovery ?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
Just use the old recovery, new one don't work.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] maxi16:
Just to be sure:

Am i right that i must change the updater script every time if i flash a new Version of the Rom?

I mean in the case i go back to the old twrp.

I asking because i can't flash the microG zip with the new twrp which i used for the Play Store.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
No.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] maxi16:
[MENTION=4515130]Tux111[/MENTION]

But then i have the problem with errors again If i flash the newest build (unless i change the update script).

Sry but i am a little bit confused now.

To everyone:

So a simple question:

What should i do to flash the newest build and the MicroG zip without errors?

At the Moment i can only flash the newest build but not microG zip because of the new twrp.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] SyncMaster:
Try flashing older twrp then flash microg and after all that reflash back to newer twrp, if microg worked on older twrp.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
[MENTION=8404612]maxi16[/MENTION] flash all with the old twrp. Here is the rom with the fixed updater script http://www.mediafire.com/file/tde2g9yp0ac7m1j

after that just flash the gapps with no problems on old twrp.

Hello everyone! Install Omni update 20180320 no OTA!

1. Download the fixed version by me:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/tde2g9yp0ac7m1j

2. Just flash the fixed version and all (Gapps, Magisk,...) with the old TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/z3-twrp-2-8-7-0-d6603-t3273996)

3. Reboot and the issue has been resolved!

OR WITH OTA:

1. Download the update version via OTA

2. Flash the new TWRP via fastboot (fastboot flash FOTAKernel [name twrp]) by [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION]

3. Shut down your phone and reboot TWRP new (power + vol down)

4. Flash the update version (Storage -> OpenDelta -> update ver)

5. Shut down your phone and reflash TWRP old version and just flash Gapps, Magisk,... with the old TWRP

6. Reboot and done!

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068@gmail.com:
I know it´s a known issue, but...

Use open camera for taking pictures. Can set sd card, pictures stored on, but with size 0.

Can view the picture on mobile device, but if i copy this to another folder or to pc, picture is not readable.

Sometimes after a reboot, picture size on sd card stored pictures are o.k.

Any hints to prevent that?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
Thank you very much!

Like I said earlier I am losing my recovery after installing Rom (I am flashing recovery by selecting flash kernel in flash tool - fastboot option). Please help me flash recovery in the right way. A detailed description will be much appreciated. Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] makes2068@gmail.com:
The only info you need:

Flash the new TWRP via fastboot (fastboot flash FOTAKernel [name twrp])

Flash in FOTAKernel!! Not recovery or bootimage ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
Do I have to open command prompt or flashtool for this? If command prompt, then do I need to. Open it from the same folder from that of recovery image? Need more clarity actually. Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] tiliarou:
This is the basic thing to know when using custom roms and you could have easily googled detailed steps but whatever...

Check https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

Fastboot will be run from command prompt (admin rights).

Yes, you need to cd all the way to your fastboot folder and you need to have the image of the recovery in the same folder (or indicate the full path to the said image in the command).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
Thanks for being right to the point even though you sounded blunt. I'll be doing this after 2012-2013 which was done on my xperia arc. Thanks anyways!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] tiliarou:
I'm blunt because all the things you need are already available with detailed steps on Xda.

It took me 5 seconds to type "fastboot xda" in google and find the topic I linked, 5 seconds which you could have taken to do the same.

This is not an issue per say, it's a forum, we are here to help each other but this is a dev thread, we shouldn't ask such basic questions here.

Use Flashtool to manually flash the firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] hippoguynil:
Hey, I've come from latest stock (using flashtool so got to .291) and installed through twrp. I get no WiFi except if I use my other phone as a hotspot. Is this how the 5ghz issue presents itself? I think my phone only does 2.4 GHz. Also, I don't have a spare sim to put in the z3, if I did, would that help?

How can I fix this?

Edit: I've installed xposed and WiFi region module doesn't change things.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] saedkebbeh:

I'm currently running LOS 15 with TWRP 3.1.1-3. Can I directly use this guide to switch to Omni?

With this guide you can switch from any other Rom because of factory reset.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Nepd:
I also had the mute call issue, although it was only triggered when putting it on speaker. However now I have Google assistant enabled and can put calls on speaker and back off if I want to and everything works like a charm. Looks like it has been fixed in the latest build. Have you guys checked if this works in your devices like in mine?

The only thing that I don't like is that navbar is all white while in chrome (yes I'm still nagging about it lol).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shikima01:

About 2 years im on Sony Android Concept 6.0.1 with locked bootloader. Is it worth to unlock bootloader, update it and install latest OmniROM?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dobsgw:
Yes.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
Lol stock 6.0.1 is bad. There is nice kernel for MM.

Takea backup of ur TA Partition unlock the bootloader and install Omni. we are doing real nice Job here.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shamsul007:
Yeah it is. Safetnet pass has been a real godsend but it's not perfect. Can use essential apps like banking but the odd app here and there don't work like latest neflix. Though it depends on whether you want latest software. OmniRom very stable and fluid.

Hi All,

Is here somebody, who flashed the new twrp from [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION] and can enter it via "reboot to recovery" option or "hitting volume rockers" during boot?

The new twrp should be working only with new bootloader, right? Are all the "boot into recovery" options working with the new twrp if I had new bootloader? Or only the option "phone switched off + volume down" works at all???

I'm asking because I should have latest bootloader:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ymg14sF8VoU7wlZl9WJ9Ve4O7k7IQHCf/view?usp=drivesdk

but I've found this in twrp log regarding bootloader:

S1_Boot_MSM8974AC_LA3.0_M_2.

Also, I can enter old twrp via whatever method I choose. So, I'm not sure if my bootloader is upgraded or not.

Thank you!

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
Hi again. There is some thing weird going on with me. When I flash recovery in FOTAKernel, the message I get in command prompt is successfully flashed however I don't see a recovery installed. On the contrary when I change FOTAKernel with 'flash' in code, I see recovery which does not let me boot to system (this was done just to make sure the script is working). My question here is do u have to flash any specific kernel or may I what may be going wrong when I am getting a success message with FOTAKernel! I am really sorry for troubling.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Br4no:
Hi!

Could you attach a screenshot of device manager in windows???? How the phone is displayed there if it is in fastboot mode????

Because I always have to change the driver to google driver before I use the fastboot on windows. So, maybe also your problem. In archlinux I dont have such a problem...

If you type "fastboot devices" do you have a result???
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] saedkebbeh:
Bro, you should have an Internet connection

Great rom. I flashed 01.01.2018. works great but i cannot enter in recovery anymore. i tried throw Adb..nothing...hardware buttons..nothing...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
Try the rashr tool from playstore for recovery (thanks to santeria27) It works. Not sure about the hardware buttons but it works well with advanced recovery found in the latest Rom update. Also update the firmware to the latest because there are a lot of improvements.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Gargoyles:
Well, I tried rashr tool, or flashify. But both applauded crash. I have magisk installed.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] santeria27:
Try power button and vol down
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Gargoyles:
I tried. Phone just reboot. Anyway, thanks for help.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] arcaddiction:
I too had magisk installed but it worked. Check if magisk has root module installed, else install supersu and try once again. I would recommend to update to latest Rom before you do all this though

Isn't it necessary to flash rom and gapps at the same time without booting into system?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
The newer TWRPs are kinda buggy that was in haste to enable Encryription 4 ya it needs alot of fixing. if u dont need ur Device encrypted, use the new twrp for flash the last Build but then go flash older TWRP again. The TWRP overhaul will take some time.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
Well i tried to left KA away from my device couse all versions i found are bugged.

Use Magisk modules u can do some real nice things.

Modules:

CrossBreeder Lite Edition

FluidsTweak

Ram Management fixes by crok

SwapTorpedo

*optional: BusyBox for Android NDK

These Modules should take care of ur device from now own

notices: Swap Torpedo kills ZRam wich will save u some batterry, the Z3 have plenty Ram no need to try spend power to compress code.

BuildProp tweaks:

debug.sf.hw=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

debug.performance.tuning=1

persist.sys.composition.type=gpu

debug.qc.hardware=true

debug.qctwa.statusbar=1

debug.qctwa.preservebuf=1

debug.egl.profiler=1

debug.egl.hw=1

debug.composition.type=gpu

hw3d.force=1

ro.product.gpu.driver=1

persist.sys.use_16bpp_alpha=1

persist.sampling_profiler=0

hwui.render_dirty_regions=false

hwui.disable_vsync=true

ro.fb.mode=1

ro.sf.compbypass.enable=0

ro.vold.umsdirtyratio=20

persist.sys.ui.hw=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=497

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

ro.secure=0

These BuildProp Tweaks tries to activate full power of the GPU and save some power on the phones standby. On my tests The Phone will eat no battery on standby as long u dont have a ton of Messanger apps installed.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yExXe:
friend, this build.prop steak is just copy and paste in the file that is in the system folder?

Would you know the best setting for DOZE mode?

Thanks for listening!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
ye u can just copy/paste them, Dozemode is something that is real advanced, it can be improved a bit but most of the time u get ****ed up by the messengers u have installed GMS message will interrupt any Doze.

I'm confused, in the build.prop file is really ne amount so I should just open the file and insert or should I write allrs individually?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
You can just copy/past them like they are (in the position you prefer, maybe at the end of the file).

Just paste like this:

1

2

3

(not like this): 1, 2, 3

Remember to reboot after you save the file to activate the modifications.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shikima01:
I just added it at the end
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] AllCrash:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shikima01:
I really do not know if the tweak changes something
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
If u think that my tweak are just wir then just dirtyflash ur Rom mate. That should restore most things just dont forget to uninstall my tweaks first.

Normaly compositiontype is c2d it will mix CPU and GPU for processing. I make it usw just GPU couse our device can handle it. Freeing CPU resources and RAM. I deactivated zram wich also just Nina eat ur RAM and CPU for nothing. The modules relaxing the devices values alot specialy RAM ones. Ur phones RAM will hold More data wich can speedup apps and also save power. Bzw u just need to appl these tweaks i posted only no ka vor hebf.

U dont habe ro sie my tweaks they are just a bonus. Btw my device eats 0% in standby so glhf.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shikima01:
Oh okay
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
So i must eliminate ka and hebf and all the tweaks previously applied to use the new ones?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TjNiko:
well is not a musst but u will get the most benefits out of the magisk modules and the buildprops tweaks no greenifyor other apps in need. most of them are bs. just try modules and the buildpros only it works fine here. letting more apps start at start just slowing down the phone and eats ram and cpu time.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] amakuramio:
No one uses kitkat? We can have ta partition intact with recovery and root, we have better screen and camera, the experience is buttery smooth, the battery life is incredible, with xposed we can add immersive mode, and greatest of all, it doesn't have IPC, so privacy spoofing apps work perfectly.

My s7 edge broke switched to z3. I spent 550 on s7e. Wish I had never bought it in the first place.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tux111:
Camera is better here with Cyberian camera mod honestly, xposed here too, recovery and root too, this is more smooth than kitkat, battery life its obviously better on kitkat because you have nothing on it and i cant live withouth the fast answer API.
