awesome thanks! I have a private test build if you want to try the new power HAL, think it should sort the issue out for you.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013070239

also fixes the data off until wifi toggle issue, I think. Any all feedback welcome
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] claudiobar:
Hi guys :)

Planning to move to this rom.

Could somebody tell me which is the best way to go if I want to maximize the phone's camera possibilities?

That is, should I flash anything else other than what comes with the rom by default?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mgmaz:
Have you been able to restore the calendar, exchange and Xperia keyboard functionality from backup ?

Excited by this ROM but hoping to not disrupt daily activities too badly.

Thanks for your encouraging report of success.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Fire_Marshall:
Hi, I've been using this ROM for weeks and it works great for me, but now I have a question.

In Setting -> Omni -> buttons -> Long press home action, I select "go to sleep" so that I can switch off the screen quickly. However, this action does two things -- it turns off the screen and the phone goes to the launcher.

To be explicit, I long press the home button when I am using an app, then the screen goes off, and when open and unlock my phone, instead of staying in the app I'm using, it goes to the home screen.

This is strange and I hope you would fix it. Thank you very much!:D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Hello mgmaz,

It's been one day of work with the new rom.

Battery went from 100% at 6AM to 62% at 8PM. Did not used it much neither. But battery usage is "as before".

I'm getting back almost all my functions, but still struggling a bit with some issues:

Exchange Calendar - I've installed "Outlook" app to get back Exchange calendar. I miss the common agenda :(

Exchange Contacts - Probably linked to previous point, I don't see my Exchange/Company contact in "Contacts app". When I want to chose the accounts to include, Exchange don't show up. I've tried unconfiguring my account in Outlook App and add the account in Settings/Accounts, but I get same result. Wondering if it's not like this "by design".

Bluetooth - like another member mentioned above, connection to the car is not as quick as before. I had to set the car to connect to the smartphone to get music again through the car. Perhaps we're missing the "Throw" function here.

Keyboard - Unfortunately, I can't find a way to install it back. But I get used quickly to the new one.

SmartConnect - that seems not to work anymore. It does not find or propose me to use my Bluetooth items. We need to use other solution.

As a summary, nothing to prevent you not to flash, but my advice would be to have time to get used to the phone prior to use it at work. At least one full day to play and configure.

Is video recording still broken? I'm planning to turn back this rom tomorrow.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mgmaz:
Thanks - it looks like gmail is working with exchange (mail/cal/tasks/contacts) for me on the stock rom , so hopefully that will port over to this rom as well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I was not very willing to give Gmail access to my company emails.

Let's say for testing reason, I've now merged all on Gmail.

So back with common agenda, email and contacts :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
You can download and use Footej Camera Pro. Works flawlessly.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I just tried Footej and video recording generate blank unreadable files on my phone.

I remember Naylik mentioning it in December or January release.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] devil188:
There's actually a way to get the Sony apps. You have to install a module named "Sony Framework" (iirc) in Magisk. It's in the official repo, so you can go to the Magisk Manager App > Modules and search for that. Then you can download all the Sony apps from the Play Store. I don't know if it works for this ROM right now, but you could give it a try.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Thanks!

Didn't new that !

I tried the Sony Enabler App 3.0.1 version and Framwork 1.0 :

After reboot, got an "Equaliser stopped working" error message.

SmartConnect is now again configurable

Could install Xperia Album, but it keeps crashing on opening.

Could install Xperia Agenda, Movie Creator, Music Keyboard and works fine.

Still missing the Email app :(

- I don't see yet more apps in Play Store. Should I perhaps try the alternate module version from same member of Magisk? Don't know.

- I had Norton Security installed. Configuration was not working before. Hanging. Now it works again.

Tim
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Anyone using the new powerHAL build, can you let me know about battery usage and also if the mobile data bug is fixed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kunqa:
Battery usage like on 05 build, mobile data after off on toggle don't work, just if I connect to WiFi or enable WiFi hotspot. Device very heat, as on 05 build CPU usage and frequency very strange. Sorry, can't provide any logs, back to concept ROM
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marlontravagli:
Try download apk in apkmirror. All works for me with magisk modules enabled. Except album, but there's a port apk

EDIT: Sorry, wrong trhead. Im using CarbonROM 5.1 but i think it work with Oreo too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Wierd... Mine works great with footej...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
[MENTION=8518708]Kunqa[/MENTION] were you using the build i posted?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I tried the Album apk from this site.

I uninstalled the Play Store version to install this one and it works :)

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Do you have the base free version or you paid for the extra functions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kunqa:
I'm talking about 08.01 build
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
my phone just gladly showed me a new ROM version of 2018-01-09 :victory:

Waiting on changelog :cool:

My phone can't boot in recovery mode.

Could it be I've to install back TWRP ?

How could have I lost it after the flash process (Omni, Gapps, Magisk)?

Edit: I installed TWRP app from PlayStore and flashed TWRP.

Now I've last 20180109 Omni version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
I have the paid version.

What the GPS like on Jan build as use strava a lot on phone ? Cheers for link to gapps. I'm currently on omni nougat still as its very stable
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I've noticed that changing in Footej the video storage location from SD to internal make the file readable.

Tried to rollback and got same corrupted file again. So sticking on internal memory for some time.

Also, when launching camera, I get some "Equalisor stopped working".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Klbgr:
Just flashed xposed framework v90 beta 1 with magisk manager and there is no bugs
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
What about Safetynet?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Klbgr:
Fail
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:

On latest omni version and xposed v90 beta 1 , facing one issue with greenify app(version 2.8 beta 11). Xposed-based features won't get enabled even after a reboot. Anyone else ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kunqa:
Universal safety net fix for magisk fixed that
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Sure, but with Xposed activated?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] skysurfer1111:
I just tried the latest ROM today, most things work fine, but the mobile data bug is still present.

Another issue for me is the always dark screen during dialing or during a phone call. I can't use the speaker nor finish the call. Tried different gapps and without any gapps - no change.

Anybody else notice this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mikeundi:
I have the same problem: display goes black after dialing a number.

So I took a look around the proximity sensor (top left corner) and saw the screen was lifted. Pushing down on the corner brought the screen back up. Might want to look at yours.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] AndroidenKalle:
I have this problem too and use a tape to fix the screen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] skysurfer1111:
You guys are kidding me. That's not nice.:(

I'm back at Lineage 14.1 and the phone works perfect.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Moggydog:
Basicinteg

You can get the basic integrity to pass if you change selinux to enforcing. I use init.d script on boot so its always enforcing. Not sure about getting CTS to pass

Hi,

thanks for the next build :) quick question, what means "fix AP"? ;)

Thanks!

greetings

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] gomutan:
why we can't get any offical rom for this phone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
Do you really need it?

This is an unofficial alpha build and it's already almost perfect.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
Hey [MENTION=7661149]vils1[/MENTION], try the following, I hope it solves it, like it solved it for me...

Anyone who cannot swipe down notifications or quick settings, due to a broken digitiser, can follow these instructions:

[emoji7]

Download 'All in one Gestures' app from the playstore.

Go to the 'SWIPE' tab.

Enable.

Under 'Edges' , select 'Top Area'.

Then via the apps settings, choose 'Personalization'.

Now under 'Swipe Area', go into 'Edge Preference.

Make 'Opacity' 0%

With 'Edge Sensitivity' start from 0% and keep moving the slide left until the swipe down works, mine is set at 90px.

'Edge Width' 100%

'Swipe Distance' 0%

Now under 'Touch Feedback' turn off both 'Toast Message' and 'Animation'.

Then turn down 'Vibration Intensity' to '0'

Done.

You now have the screen functioning as normal.

[emoji7]

ATTN:

Remember to keep 2 backups of this apk, in approx 30 days, Google will remove apps that use the accessibility service.

News:

**This phone is bendable 0.1mm will open your phone, anodized aluminium bumper recommended for jeans and stairs, I also recommend tempered glass, both sides. B7000 glue for repairs, no heat, clothes pegs, 48 hours.

Double tap to wake the screen is back in the Nov. 1st build. Thank you, devs!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] subinsg:
Or nova launcher....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Tried the latest build (1/11). Tap to wake is now fixed (thanks!)

I still cannot get the 5ghz networks to show up. I had the same problem with Lineage OS 14.1 but there was a setting in the wifi settings through which I could choose my country, and when I set it to Europe, I rebooted and the 5ghz settings showed up. I cannot find a similar setting in this rom's wifi settings.

Fyi, I flash the rom, then stock gapps 8.0, then the superuser.zip

The only error I get is when flashing the rom. "E:unknown command [log]

But the installation completes.

Camera, still does not store the video anywhere.

I got the error message only the first time that the phone booted up to android. "Cell broadcast has stopped".

The new update has made the rom much more smoother. The animations feel smoother without glitches etc. Again, many many thanks to the devs!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
Yeah, Nova's awesome for this, but my way is universal everywhere and in every app....

It's as if the digitiser is fully working, no noticeable difference! Which is really funny...

It makes repair irrelevant...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bluestar01:
For the 5ghz WiFi try to change your Channel for the WiFi inside Router to a Channel Number 40 or 48 and Check again...

Exchange Mail-Account not supported?

Hi all,

I am still extremely surprised how fast and solid this ROM works on my Z3C. However: When trying to add an exchange account, this doesn't seem to be intended :confused: yet. Only SMTP and IMAP are supported so far.

Is there a posiibility to include exchange-support as well?

Thanx in advance

Christian
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
No

Exchange is M$ so you need to pay for built-in apps. like ntfs or mp3.

AFAICT it is part of the gapps package.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] kall3:
With Android 7.1.2 + Gapps 7.1 pico I had the possibility to add an exchange-mail-account. With this ROM + Gapps 8.0 pico I have no chance to set up the same. Maybe I will have to install GMail (and get rid of it again afterwards).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Thanx. I wouldn't want to mess with the router. I have 3 other phones that pick up the 5ghz channels just fine, and also two laptops.

Before installing this rom I had installed lineage OS 14.1 in my Z3c and I could connect to the 5ghz channels by selecting "europe" in the advanced wifi settings. Unfortunately there is no such setting in this rom. Maybe I could change a setting in the build.prop? But I don't know which one...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Working fine here.

Do you have an error while connecting, or the 5GHz simply dont show up?

Have you tried tools like 'wifi analyzer' ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
They don't show up at all unfortunately.

Do you also install gapps? If yes, which ones? I install the stock ones.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dado8:
Nice, works very well. Only thing I've noticed is I can't restore Titanium backups. I have given TB permission to install apps, I've also tried the "indirect" option, as well as disabling Google's app scanning (Play Protect) and Verify apps over USB. It just hangs at 0%. Interactive restore works though, but it's quite a pain. Is anyone else running into this problem?

Also, the front camera has cut-off black bars on the sides.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
I have the stock opengapps package installed as well, and yesterday I connected to a previously stored 5GB WiFi network just fine, just like the CarbonROM build I had before.

Well, before installing omnirom I did a full wipe, then installed the ROM, stock gapps, and Magisk. Booted it up once, then entered TWRP and restored only the data partition from a previous CarbonROM nandroid backup. After a day of some lockups, everything is fine now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] madvinegar:
I tried again.

Wiped everything including data and internal storage.

At first I only installed the rom (no gapps, no superuser). Still no 5ghz networks showing up.

Then again wiped everything and installed rom, stock gapps and superuser. Still no 5ghz networks.

To be honest, I don't care so much considering that the rom runs fantastic. Smooth and fast. It's just that I cannot understand why others see the 5ghz networks and I don't. Just for the info, my model is the D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] zamijaster:
i see the 5ghz channels but it wont conenct.. i tries but then its like the wifi resets quickly and it retries.. no error or anything.

2,4 works just fine tho :) i think i saw someone talking bout getting cyberion or other cameras to work.. i just cant :S always gets the camera is in use when i try cyberion, and the other camera i tried fc ...

the original one was fine for picture but lacked functionalities so i tried getting one i previously liked :S

any tips would be appreciated :D

oh another thing, i had the omnified topbar picture thingie crash once and it made it impossible to pull down from top until i standby and unlocked and it was fine again. wonderful rom guys !

i can recommend this rom to anyone who can live without videorecording for now...

BTW video recording is fine in snapchat

Hi, do you know, how to get rid of the Android 8.1 navbar dining feature and make buttons bigger? The new behaviour is not needed for our LCD display and it's annoying and incompatible with pixel substratum theme.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
Regarding videorecording - could someone test with Open Camera? I'm quite excited about this ROM now that xposed has been released for Oreo : ->

Regarding picture quality, battery life, etc is there any differences from this and the Nougat roms for our Z3C?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
Classic Z3 Compact. I got two of em for free, both had this problem. I glued em both stuck with some superglue, worked well.

Chromium browser, the one installed by default in this ROM, in blue, asks me to put in my Google credentials again but then I get an error, that tells me that this account already exists on the phone...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
Xposed will never pass safetynet!

Xposed = no safetynet, this is not a bug, this is in the details of xposed.

Xprivacy vs Netflix etc.

[emoji7]

Guys, do not use superglue, superglue reacts and eats plastic, and will slowly unglue itself.

The strongest sealent that works for the z3c is B-7000 and clothes pegs,

This is a heat or jeans pocket problem.

I say jeans pocket (+stairs) because if the screen is or framework is 0.5mm bent (yes, the z3c is bendable), it will lift, check on a flat surface, also can be a heat problem at this corner, If your back is lifting, also check the if the battery needs replacing, the battery if swelled can be a mm too big.

Z3C is missing a heatsink on its CPU (If you are crazy like me, ā few have placed thermal paste and copper plate 0.3mm (that's right, Sony left a pocket of air where the heatsink should have been) on the inside, between the aluminium protecter and CPU, and thermal paste on the gpu, but I had a spare motherboard to practice on) my phone is 10-15° cooler.

I also used tempered glass for both sides, and an aluminium bumper works best.

[emoji7]

Z3C is the phone from hell

Even a gentle drop can kill the sdcard spring.

(My next phone will be an aluminium razer phone, which has the largest copper tube heatsink of all phones. (a few have build issues, which can be returned)

*** if your flap's seal is loose, your phone is no longer waterproof, they're cheap, get it replaced immediately.

** flashing a Rom is hot, and restoring with titanium etc. always wait before rebooting to system, ie. let the phone cool down between tasks.

* also note, after market z3c motherboards can have missing thermal paste under the aluminium covers, so you will have to provide your own.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
I figured it was a bad idea but I got both my white Z3C (which I ended up bricking completely, by restoring a TA partition from my other black Z3C - first time I bricked an Xperia!) and my black Z3C for free from my boss. Both of em were kinda wrecked so I tried to make the best of it. I wasn't planning to spent any money on it and basically just wanted to use the phone as long as possible. I'm pretty unsatisfied with the camera, and lack of nice-to-have features like fingerprint scanner anyway, so it probably wont be long before i buy a new one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
[emoji7]

Seriously, they will be fine, when they open again, use the B-7000, it will be a tank...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
I'll remember that ;) pretty much the entire side on my Z3C has been glued :P

Anyway, I'm gonna stop being offtopic now :)

I can ask you a related question: are you using this ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Klbgr:
Hi , how can i fix wifi drop ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
Yes, I am, atm, ā few issues with battery life and networking, but custom 8.1 is pretty new, so this is definitely expected and normal for the moment.

[emoji7]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kocane:
Could you specify your issues more precisely?

How about video recording? Can you test this with Open Camera for instance?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Robot76:
The known issue is with mobile, simply toggling wifi, fixes it, but this will be fixed soon probably, via OTA.

I am going to try a fake accesspoint, to make it toggle without an access point, will update about that soon,I can't remember how I do this [emoji23]

And regards battery, probably my expectations are ridiculously high.

I don't use the z3c camera, and I don't have my device with me today... Ermmf

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 and then to Omni.

Does it make any sense for me to flash Port Stock Sony Cam 3.4?

That is, what would you suggest me to install if I wanted to go squeeze the best possible camera quality out of this phone?

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

Thanks for any input.

And a huge thanks to the developers once again :)
