My feedback on 20181027

Hello,

I flashed 20181027 this weekend and the phone still works ;)

I was lazy formating data partition. I then only formated both caches and system. So, maybe some issues comes from here. Lazy me :)

I took me a while to get the system responsive enough. Installing a Root file explorer to copy/paste the missing file took me a while.

Even system was responsive, all tasks involving install and download was very slow.

But at the end, after copying and restarting, my phone was back :)

Positive:

September security patches :good:

Still stable :)

Installed Magisk module Xperia Cam and it works fine

Battery improved

To improve:

Seems battery drain is higher (maybe my fault). (Works fine finally. Even better than before.)

Some issues with 1-2 Apps no more working (see my comment about not formatting data partition) (No more issues since they got updated.)

Was very painful to copy missing file. Took me very long time waiting on phone to finish installing some prerequisites. Only that point would, IMAO, justify publishing a new rom.

Not linked to this version, but I'm still not able to see my files of my SD Card. File manager can see and open any file (they even open in Album or Music), but they are not visible from Album, Music apps or Root Browser. Empty storage seen from my Windows PC. This is from June rom. Was ok before.

About my SD Card: not encrypted, exfat.

Will grab the dmesg asap.

Thanks for your support Nailyk !

I'm still on 20180320 and would like to update to get the latest patch level. Any chance I can do so without full wipe/loosing all data?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Hello,

I have installed the last omni-8.1.0-20181027-z3c-nailyk.zip and all works fine. (for some days ....)

After some days the Z3C restart automaticly and when the PIN for SIM-Card is comming up it`s restart again and when the PIN is comming up it starts again and again ....

I had this issue also with the older omni-8.10 and I have update the fone with the 20181027 its run some day well.

When I start in saved Mode, I can insert the PIN Code ....

Now I have this issue also with a 2nd Z3C ....

Have someone a idea how to fix this?

Regards

Georg
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I upgraded from June Rom without deleting data, but with temporary side issues (see my previous recent post).

But I remember Nailyk suggested a full wipe before flashing June Rom.

With the side issues I encountered, I suggest you do a full wipe.

Or just take some risk and try. But plan some time as October release is slow until you copy the missing file.

Does your phone become hot? Did you copy/paste the missing file ?

Does your phone become hot? Did you copy/paste the missing file ?[/QUOTE]

you meen this: On the device it should be locate under system/vendor/etc/thermanager.xml or system/etc/thermanager.xml?

Hot: only when it reboot ...

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Is there a filelist and/or a zip-file to add the missing files?

Hot: only when the X3C reboots and reboots ....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
No, no zip file. You have to copy it manually. Use a Root file explorer.

It could have been missing this file that put the phone on unstable temp. Sorry, I've not enough experience to help you further.:(

It is strange that you have the same issue with 2 phones. A HW issue could have been the reason.

Have you followed the exact procedure to upgrade? Installed SU or Magisk?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] g-member:
I have this strange issue, i got this phone yesterday from a friend who bought a new one.

First thing i did was unlocking the bootloader, installed TWRP and this rom.

Everything went as it should be and the phone booted fine........but..... The top and bottom of the screen is unresponsive, can't pull down the statusbar or use the back/home/recent button.

Weird thing is, on the lockscreen both sides of the screen does work.

I read many issues regarding the screen being unresponsive at the top and bottom after OTA updates from Sony.

Anyone else got this issue or fix?

When rotate the screen to landscape i can pull down the statusbar though
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
OK, thank you, but there must be a input and also a filename and folder ....

Can someone help here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] shaiya87:
Wifi 5 GHz work, replace telephony-common.jar in system/framework
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Nailyk explained it in this thread, a few pages back :)

I installed Root Browser to copy file.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] minos2026:
Hi man! I think the only solution is to change the touch screen. On my case, the dead section grown an took half the screen in a few months.

You can download nova launcher and add some gestures to check the top bar.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] francesko94:
what do you mean for missing file?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] francesko94:
I'm using this ROM after lineage 14 and carbonrom 6.1, I think is one of the best, for sure the best oero. Lineage 14 is faster overall and have a better camera (with mods for nougat) and more controls while this seems stable. I'm having only two issues so far: the first is that Netflix refuse to start. Does drm works in this ROM? the second is common to other oreo roms and is in the camera driver: manual control for iso doesn't work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I mean this file from Nailyk post

Before adding back this file, my phone was very slow on last rom.

I have two z3 compact.

I want to flash carbon and omni on each device.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
This is it!

I've replaced my Z3C.

After 4+ years, it was time for a fresh start.

I'd be glad to test a new version if it comes out.

Happy new year to all!

Hi. I want to flash this twrp in my z3c. Please help me understand how to flash it. I am in recovery, selecting img file and have to select the partition:

Boot

Recovery.

Which one i have to select for not brick my xperia z3c.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You need to flash it to the recovery partition.

If you flash it from the computer use the command `fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp.img`

If you flash to boot or recovery partition, you will never brick your device. Worst case scenario is a not booting anymore device, which is solved by re-flashing the backup.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Tomek0000:
Hi. Thank you for answer. I spend long time on finding answer. It results better understanding, my question has not included all informatin needed to make the answer.

Ok.

I have z3c with twrp 3.1.0 and LOS 14.1. I have not installed new bootloader. I have had los 12 instaled years ago, next 14.1.

The recovery does not let to use partition recoveryFOTA but only recovery.

Is my configuration enough good to at once use adb and install your newest recovery using fastboot command?

Edit.

I installed it. Both commands works : fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp.img and fastboot flash recovery twrp.img . But none ot thi9s does not start recovery when it is called .

I installed the other recovery and it works ok. I will not use /data encryption .
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dolons:

About my problem with camera, send logcat HERE
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
I have just returned to a previous CarbonROM backup because it has the Google Widevine DRM key. Some apps are now relying on its presence. Not sure if it matters but CarbonROM' SELinux policy is set to enforcing., whereas here it's set to permissive, although, through Magisk, I could pass Safetynet on both firmwares.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You are still missing frameworks/av changes.

To use the script, sync the jenkins_scripts repo somewhere (let say /home/russel5/jenkins_scripts)

go on top of your android tree,

source ./build/envsetup.sh

export HOME=$PWD

/home/russel5/jenkins_scripts/patches.sh

Some pick will fail as they are drafts on gerrit (those for OpenDelta for example), just ignore them.

All your repos need to be clean for pending changes or the script will delete them or fail.

Good luck.

P.S.: I sent you a private message some days ago, should be easier to help you.

Just updated to latest rom 3/11/2017.

Videorecording works, but when you play it back, the video is very choppy (sound is good though). Tried both the native camera app, as well as the google camera app.

Still no 5ghz networks showing up.

Apart from that, the rom is a breeze.. Very smooth, good battery life and speedy. Keep up the good work guys !!!

I attach new dmesg.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] darkit11:
Some problems that I've come across:

-Wifi is sometimes bugged, it does not detect the 2.4GHz routers and I can't connect instantly

-Microphone when calling is sometimes bugged, when using the phone app and I call or receive calls the other end can't hear me. I have to reboot to fix this.

-Audio when using headphones is quite low compared to stock rom.

-Automatic brightness not working

For the rest it's very smooth and working well.

i can't boot into recovery:(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
There are lot of problems about recovery on Sony's devices.

For z3(c) there is no direct boot to recovery function provided by the bootloader, except in a specific version. If you do not want to / cannot upgrade the bootloader, you can use the old process of booting the kernel rom, and push volume button to get into recovery.

HOWEVER, there are multiples issues with this, specially because every rom maker is fixing this issues on his way.

My latests ROM & recovery use LZMA compression instead of previous gzip one. (it was the only way to get latest TWRP to fit into our recovery partition).

BUT this mean, with the rom kernel to recovery kernel boot process, the rom kernel *need* to have LZMA support. I submitted a fix to all the ROM I known as supported (carbon, AOSP and another I cannot remember right now). However IDK if they merged it.

This means, with my latest TWRP version, if your rom have not this fix included, you will not be able to boot my TWRP on your device.

Hope it is clear :fingers-crossed:

It is not supported. One of the things which have to be fixed....

What do you mean ? Is 3.2 the right answer ?

---------- Post added at 11:58 ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 ----------

I just generated the sereport from your log:

#============= mediaprovider ==============
allow mediaprovider fuse_device:dir { getattr search };

#============= rild ==============
allow rild radio_data_file:file setattr;

#============= system_server ==============
allow system_server fuse_device:dir getattr;

#============= thermanager ==============

#============= untrusted_app ==============
allow untrusted_app fuse_device:dir getattr;
allow untrusted_app proc:file read;

#============= vold ==============
allow vold fuse_device:dir { open read };

this cannot lead into application not being able to write on external storage.

This can mean the right rules already exist and it is a configuration problem, or this has already been solved system wide and I need to provide an update.

Can you please provide me steps to reproduce (please, with FOSS application), and detail of each used version (rom, application, any changes to kernel, etc...)

Sorry for the delay :(

Edit: After a lot of tests I cannot get another app than the camera one not working. Open camera works fine if you enable 'user androi >5 storage framework), so I guess it is an app related issue, not device. When I will have your steps to reproduce, I will also give shot on some other devices as well to be sure what the issue is.

Sorry again for the delay...

:angel:

Is it 3.2.1 or 3.2.3?

Background:

With well known russel5 TWRP-3.2.1-0 i did get issues while restoring a Oreo-8.1 backup (not working, CR-6.1, sorry...)

With newer ShadowElite TWRP 3.2.3-0 selection of partitions for backup in my opinion are not fully adopted to Oreo-8.1, several red marks...

Time for a closing update.

Thanks all for having followed us, reported bug, and encouragements!

This is the end of omnirom 8.1 for our z3c :rolleyes: I dropped all the build tools for omni-8.1 some days ago, as omnirom 8.1 is not supported anymore.

Right now I am working on j5. While done, hope being able to port omnirom on my xz1c (thanks to [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] for their awesome work).

If that port goes well, maybe we can start working on a new version for z3c :fingers-crossed:

Dear Nailyk,

I've found a new life at work for my z3c and so have flashed today the last build and it works nicely.

Thanks again for your great job. It was a pleasure playing on z3c.

Would be great if you could adapt post#1 with "latest build" with 20190309 file :)

Hello,

Almost everyone probably moved already to the lineage 16 by [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION] but just in case, my z3c is dying and is almost not usable anymore even for dev :(

Does anyone could sell me one ? (pm accepted)

When I try to flash the mentioned TWRP onto my Z3 I get the following error:

fastboot: core/libsparse/sparse.cpp:131: int write_all_blocks(struct sparse_file *, struct output_file *): Assertion `pad >= 0' failed.

Does anyone know why this might happen?

Edit: This seems to have been caused by the fastboot version I was using (Manjaro Linux, 29.0.2). I have done a system update and am now on 29.0.4, which resolves the issue.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Starting with your Z3C phone turned off, hold both the power and the volume down buttons. When it vibrates (as if it was booting up normally), release the power button. When the screen lights up, release the volume down button. TWRP should come up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] davze:
So your device is booting, the Sony Logo is shown and the LED is not turning purple?

If it turns purple press volume up, it should turn orange.

Other way would be to boot into the system, enable the "advanced reboot" in Omnigears and restart via the reboot to recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] anhsmile:
i can't reboot recovery to flash rom Oreo

Who's guide make TWRP?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] bradabrada:
Hey mate... I boot into recovery by pressing the volume up + volume down simultaneous when the ligt turns on (maybe it works with only pressed the volume up button... but don't know exactly)...like this is in oreo.... I think its different based on the Rom.... on Stock XperianZ it was only "volume down" button, I was getting surprised at first that i can't boot into Rom too, but in the end I got it ...also you can try "adb reboot recovery"

Btw: Magisk now seems to work...

5Ghz wi-fi now works... I was having a strange bug with my wi-fi...

after this Oreo-Omni I installed Nougat Carbon(clean install ofc) -> same, wi-fi very weak, 5Ghz not detected

flashed the stock sony ftf -> 5Ghz works, wi-fi very good power...

after this it works on any custom ROM....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nussbaum:
User casouzaj gave you the answer above, do exactly as he wrote. Important part is to start with powered off phone. Its this way when you install twrp as fota_kernel.

I need some serious help

I want to flash this ROM (seems so good and stable). I have SLiMM 3.8 installed on my device. The problem is that I don't have TWRP installed on my Z3 anymore (don't know how, TWRP always worked but now it's gone, every time I power off and when green light LED turns on, I hold vol down, then turns pink, and he simply freezes on Sony Logo; already tried with adb reboot recovery, but when I execute the command, the device only reboots (simillar to adb reboot)). My device has locked bootloader, so it makes the things harder. I already tried to flash stock rom with FlashTool and do the whole process of installing TWRP again, but my PC doesn't colaborate with me, he can't flash the rom.

I don't really know what to do, I'm thinking put my device on trash seriously :crying:

I would like some help please, I would be really happy :)

Thank you and sorry if you don't understand my English sometimes
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Did you already try official TWRP through TWRP app?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] devil188:
How about UNLOCKING first before flashing this ROM? Don't flash ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader onto a device with a locked one.

If Flashtool doesn't work, try reflashing stock using EMMA (https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/).

Just... read our instructions first before flashing anything, the requirements state that you have to have an unlocked bootloader. Please don't try to flash this ROM again if you're still locked, else you'll run into these problems again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] M4tr1k:
I will try that option and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

The problem is that I can't unlock my phone, it has no premissions to unlock it. I always had TWRP and flashed various ROM's that required unlocked bootloader and nothing has happened. In fact, I think my custom ROM (SLiMM 3.8) requires unlocked bootloader, but I have installed on my device and it's working, even though I don't like it.

Plus, I didn't try to flash this ROM, just because TWRP is not working anymore, don't know why.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
Slimm3.8 is stock-based and it doesn't require unlocked bootloader.

You can't use unlocked bootloader roms.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] M4tr1k:
My phone has bootloader unlock allowed: no. If I go to my network provider, they can unlock it without spending money?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
I don't think.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] M4tr1k:
I will try to go there today and see. Hope they can do it for free

Haha dude, he said no, that means no :D

Sony would be the one to do that, but that ain't gonna happen.

Hi,

I have problems to get root on this rom.

I follow the instruction step by step from the first post (flash stock, flash recommended TWRP, wipe, install omni, install superuser). I use the latest Omni Rom (2017-11-03) and the recommended php superuser (https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip). I try it with SuperSU 2.82 as well. But nothing works.

Where is my mistake?

Best regards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] vooR9er:
If You use SuperSU 2.82(.apk) then you need to download

SuperSU (.zip)

If you want to use phhSuperUser (.zip) then

phh's SuperUser .apk
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] AndroidenKalle:
I know. I use SuperSU in CarbonROM without any problems. I root all my phones since 6 years.

In the app from SuperUser I got this error, have a look to the screenshot.
