Thank you for your amazing work!

I have been using the 0209 version on my z3c for about 3 weeks. Runs very stable and feels like my z3c is on LSD ?

I had issues with the camera not working on external storage (solved with copying it to system/priv-apps, explained somewhere in this thread). Second issue was the not working microphone sometimes (solved with changing the build prop explained also somewhere in this thread).

I have two questions.

First, how can I add an additional action to your list of button actions. I like to open the status bar on double tapping the menu button. (a very comfortable tweak from gravity box).

Second, how to add cursor arrows (right /left) into the navbar? Also a tweak from gravity box). As there is a menu to edit the navbar, maybe there is a way to add a button type...

Thank you again for the work!

5 Ghz Wi-fi

First, thanks for this amazing rom. My Z3c is 5833 model and I am using omni-8.1.0-20180209-z3c-HOMEMADE version. It can conect 5Ghz Wi-fi 802.11n but not in 5Ghz 802.11ac. Anybody has this problem?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] betacrypt:
I've had connectivity issues with 5ghz wifi as well, sometimes it was unable to detect the signal and when connected would sporadically disconnect with the phone went to sleep. Wifi would only reconnect after waking the phone.

That said, I freaking love this rom, if only the video camera was working it would be perfect. I've had very few issues with the latest build.

been using 0211 build for almost 2 weeks, working great so far.

but i kinda missing QC 2.0 feature in stock rom/kernel as far i know it can be enabled in kernel level. maybe Dev can consider enable this feature in the future?

thanks Dev for great works ☺️

I flashed the 20180211 nailyk build with OpenGapps 8.1 nano and it's running very smoothly. My bluetooth headphones paired without issue, no camera problems so far and video recording seems to work fine using the Footej Camera.

As some others have reported I've been unable to get 5ghz ac WiFi to work. I have separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5, the 2.4 works but the 5 doesn't get detected. I installed WiFi Analyser but that also only sees 2.4 ghz networks. This same Z3C running stock .291 was able to connect to both.

Great job, thanks.

Hi guys

Anyone using this rom could make timeshifth work?

I installed superuser mod + stock Sony port + Cyberian cam

If I try to use timeshift from stock Sony app, it "starts" recording, but the timer won't move past 00:01, and in the end the app crashes

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mxperial:
Hi mate, video recording was broken with Oreo update, the devs are currently trying to fix that so you just need to wait for a next build of OmniRom (in my best guess) to get video recording working, also, cannot guarantee that third parts apps will work but give it a try when the video recording is fixed.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] claudiobar:
Yeah makes sense, but since Footej is actually working and recording video no prob, I had hoped someone could have found a workaround.

Thanks, let's keep fingers crossed :P

Hi everyone.

First of all, amazing rom!!! But i have a few bugs, and I wish to know if there is any fix or if anyone else is having this issues.

Latest build, opengapps 8.1 stock/normal, unlocked bootloader.

Bugs:

The other side doesnt hear me in a call if I change to speakerphone (doesnt work even if i change back to pearce, it works again after reboot)

The other bug is that audio is buggy when "voice recording" from WhatsApp. Seems like a dynamic volume problem.. or somethinf like it.

Thanks in a dvance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Hello Forum :)

I noticed and experienced twice an undesired reboot while :

- Already in a call

- And denying a call with a predefined message

Yet, 100% of success to get a quick reboot in the 2-3 seconds after message is sent.

I'll try to learn how to get a log, but in the meantime, Im curious if any of you experienced this also ?

OTA Coming.

There is a bug with TWRP booting.

Ensure you are on the latest bootloader (search this thread or see https://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-xperia-z-boot-process-explained-t3359510 )

Partial Changelog

Lot of audio changes,

Video record fixed (some problems remain, like format, green bar, etc),

Some not-fully-tested power patches.

Many thanks to [MENTION=1068260]Diewi[/MENTION] (he is totally working alone on shinano as I have no time) and the whole OmniRom team.

Thanks to [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION], [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION], [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION], [MENTION=6091266]demon000[/MENTION], [MENTION=1068260]Diewi[/MENTION] and everyone else who worked on the video record fixes.

As usual take a backup before flashing (full /system wipe required here),

Post useful reports (see #3) and enjoy their hard work and countless hours spent on our devices.

P.S.: for people coming from

HOMEMADE

release: take a backup, download the ota from the output folder, take a backup, dirty flash should be fine, take a bacup, do not forget to wipe /system. Take a backup.

I'm getting "E3004: This package is for device: D5803,D5833,z3c,aries; this device is ." in TWRP when trying to flash this latest 20/03 update.

Previous omni version was flashed without any problems. (Homemade release, device is D5803)

Device comes originally from the latest stock .291 firmware.

Does this ensure I have the latest bootloader or am I required to update bootloader with Emma nonetheless?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] noideaforaname:
Edit the downloaded ZIP on your PC!

goto META-INF -> com -> google -> android -> and edit "updater-script" (best with notepad++)

remove all lines above:

"ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));"

save it and copy it back to your phone... here you go

or just install the mentioned twrp bootloader by nailyk... i didn´t install the new bootloader, my new xz1 compact will arive tomorrow.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Hlvn:
Yep, I tried before with latest twrp and different versions, but same error.

Sorry about error 7, totally forget about it.

You need the new twrp to avoid it:

https://releases.nailyk.fr/twrp/

fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp.img

Send me your recovery.log

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

The service menu was a stock one, not for custom roms.

Only /system wipe should be required, not /data ;)

Awesome update. Thanks for all of the improvements (especially the Wifi and Video fix). Here's my experience upgrading from the Feb build to the latest:

1. Was successful in flashing the ROM after editing updater-script to avoid TWRP error 7.

2. In TWRP, I wiped /system and no other partition, rebooted, ROM initialized but after a few minutes, the screen went black (backlight was on but no visual). I tried rebooting (power+vol up) a few times but led to the same result. In the end I decided to do a clean flash, which solved the issue.

3. Here's what I've encountered so far (deltas from the last build):

In Settings > OmniGears > Buttons, the Settings app crashes and force closes. I'm not able to access this setting at all.

Substratum theming engine no longer works. I'm able to install it and apply overlays, but they don't actually work anymore.

WiFi 5ghz was detected successfully and was able to connect without issues (couldn't do this in previous build).

Video camera works in this build but stutters while recording. Flashed the Sony Camera app and that works with some recording bugs. Sticking with Footej for now.

I've flashed twrp_z3c_O_2018-03-18.img to install the OTA update but I can't get it to boot into that recovery. If I flash twrp_z3c_2017-09-26.img which I used to install nailyk's 20180211 version then I can boot into recovery.

Before I unlocked my bootloader I was running the stock 291 version which made me think I'm on the latest bootloader but perhaps that's not the case? Or am I doing something else wrong?

An excellent update, it would be nice to add items to the Omni settings:

1) the flashlight by long pressing the power button

2) Clock in the center

3) screenshot in the power menu

4) Add brightness of the flashlight (500 000) instead of 25 000

5) If you enter the PIN code on the lock screen, do not confirm with a tick

6) More options for battery icons

7) Pixel launcher default

Hi,

Installed TWRP version mentioned by Naylik. (had to remember how to flash in fastboot :p)

In recovery, wiped, system, cache and Dalvik. flashed last rom without error 6 or 7.

But got same error when trying to flash Gapps.

I've downloaded version from opengapps.org: 8.1, Arm, mini.

Also tried to flash the ~January version I used for a previous rom update. Same result.

Phone is working, but of course, all Google app are crashing.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] jeronimo67:
Found a temporary solution, flash back to twrp_z3c_2017-09-26.img. And OpenGaps installs fine. If onmirom was started without Gapps, do a factory reset.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Thanks !

It worked for me too.

I could flash Gapps successfully.

Now I suppose we should reflash newer TWRP to prevent issue on next rom update, right?

Thank, it's very useful to know Restarting to Recovery doesn't work but I did also try using the buttons which I was able to get to work with the older version of TWRP but not the new one.

I chose not to upgrade TWRP or bootloader when running the latest build and it installed fine without gapps issues and no problems rebooting into recovery after flash. But I did perform a factory reset first to do a clean flash. For reference didn't update bootloader after coming from firmware .291 and I'm running TWRP 3.0.2-1.

If you're running the latest build of this ROM, do the following:

1. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Advanced > Access Point Names

2. Open the current selected APN.

3. Go online and search for your telecom APN settings.

4. Cross-check the settings online with the settings on your phone and edit manually if not.

The latest ROM posted in this thread is already pretty stable.

Can anyone here, who is using SD card in exfat format, comment whether it works well as adoptable storage, for storing photos/videos and music files (reading them as well)?

Great rom, very fast! how day release new updates? xD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] enjoy_life:
Wonderful ROM. Thanks a lot to the development team.

On a side note, for those who think the volume in their headphones is not loud enough, try this.

In any file explorer with root permissions, navigate to /Device/system/vendor/etc/

Now here look for the file named mixer_paths.xml. Copy it somewhere for a backup just in case and then delete it from that directory.

Now take a file from the attachment and insert it in the very same directory. Name it exactly as it was: mixer_paths.xml

Reboot your phone and enjoy a much much louder sound from Z3C without any distortions. This thingy is capable of far far more.

Remember: all is done at your own risk.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
I am a bit confused about the procedure for the installation. Perhaps someone can help to fill the gaps in my understanding.

Here it comes:

First I need to update recovery. I tried the one supplied by naylik, however that would not start after reboot as others have experienced. I then installed the recovery from the thread that was posted recently. That seems to work fine.

My understanding is that I need to boot into recovery, then wipe system (why, just for curiosity?), cache and dalvik cache before starting the installation.

Then I install the ROM update. Do I need to install gapps as well if I want to use them? What about Magisk? Sequence would be ROM, Magisk, Gapps?

Furthermore, Is there a problem with Gapps and the recovery? Do I need to use exactly the recovery which naylik provided even if it does not start after reboot?

Any support is much appreciated.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] betacrypt:
I don't blame your confusion - things keep changing and there are a number of ways to install this. Here are the steps I used to install this rom (though granted I was upgrading from Carbon ROM) but it worked for me just fine without an issue.

1. Boot into TWRP recovery (I use version 3.0.2.1)

2. Wipe by performing a factory reset to avoid issues (you can try dirty flashing as it seemed to have work for some users)

3. Install in this order (you can tap "install another zip" to flash them all together): OmniRom zip > Magisk zip > Open GApps 8.1 zip

4. Wipe Dalvik/Cache

5. Reboot

First boot may take a while but should load after a few minutes.

If you run into TWRP Error 7 when attempting to flash the rom you can do one of two things:

1. Open the ROM zip in Windows and edit the updater-script to remove the first few lines (see a page or two back on how to do this - let me know if you get stuck here).

2. Flash the Feb build of the rom, which doesn't produce the TWRP error and wait for the next build to upgrade (hopefully it's fixed in that build).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
Thanks for your advice. I followed your procedure when I came from stock ROM after unlocking the boot loader. My questions are referring to the advice that nailyk gave when he announced the new build and to some subsequent posts which referred to potential problems when upgrading. If possible I'd really like to avoid a factory reset. And according to nailyk's advice that should be possible. My problem is that I am not fully understanding it yet. E.g. why should I wipe system and what are the full consequences?

Magisk

Yes. Install Magisk, there is an item to hide the application from root.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
System partition is where the ROM files get unpacked. Data is where you got all your personal files. And cache is use... For cache :)

There's risk, when you don't wipe system, that old files stay there and create issues.

Understand the flash process as an unzip (overwrite) action over your system files.

Hope it's right and understandable. :)

Flash "universal-safetynet-fix-v1.10.1.zip" with TWRP, it's very outdated, but works for the most devices.

If it doesn't work and ONLY then, try "universal-safetynet-fix-v2-beta-5.zip".

One of both works for sure. You can uninstall it with "xiaomi-safetynet-fix-uninstall-v1.0.zip". Read more HERE

It was definitely passing safety net check, but I can't remember which fix it was, cause I'm back on Lineage 14 since two month.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
OK, now I followed that procedure. I also reinstalled Gapps and Magisk. Don't know if that was needed. Anyway, everything worked well.

I hoped this would fix my problems with this ROM (or Oreo or Magisk?) and Titanium Backup. The backup location is always indicated as write protected and backup fails. SU permission is granted. External SD is formatted as exfat.

TB force closes right at the beginning of a backup operation. That is very annoying since backup capability is extremely important to me. Anyone got any hints?
