I'm thinking a lot of this has to do with hardware issues in combination with the rom. I'm running OmniRom Feb build and don't have issues with 5ghz wifi or GPS. In fact other than the video camera, everything is running really well, battery life and performance as well. I did have issues with the March build of this rom so I rolled back.

Hi stronger 1101,

I had same problem with error7, and I was already on new twrp. , I found elsewhere in a post that a solution is to modify updater-script in ROM(delete getprop... Or similar thing).

I did not know what it mean and I just tried. I extracted ROM zipfile. Went to file "updater-script", opened it in text editor (did it in root explorer) and deleted first lines until "ui_printui_print("Target: Sony/D5803......". So "ui_print..." was first text in file now.

Saved updater-script, zipped ROM again, and flashed it via twrp.

This way worked for me. May any developer can confirm that this is correct way?

At least - I was able to update with that method to newest ROM version.

Greetings Odiad
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] betacrypt:
For those of you struggling with TWRP error 7 when flashing the latest build here's what you need to do:

1. Download and extract OmniRom (March Build)

2. Navigate to: \omni-8.1.0-20180320-z3c-nailyk\META-INF\com\google\android

3. Edit the following file (using a text editor like Notepad++): updater-script

4. Delete lines 1-6 (see attached image).

5. Save the file

6. Zip the contents and create a new file.

7. Transfer the new file to your phone and flash with TWRP. You should no longer get the error 7 message.

Hi, I am running the 2018-03-20 Version. Skype is working fine, Talk and Videochat. But I got Problems with Whatsapp ... Chat works, but Video or Call don't connect.

Anyone similar Problems?

Happy Easter!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
In the meantime I did a re-install including a wipe of data. That helped a lot and the phone is running smoothly now. Titanium Backup works as it should and even writes to the external SD card.

So far, so good, but...

Unfortunately, I just found out that the phone does not recognize a plugged earphone. There is no message on plugging and audio is still emitted via the phone speaker. Does anyone have any quick idea what I could try out to make it work?

Further information: running latest build, not sure if audio jack worked on this phone before, since I own it only for a short period of time. And I don't think I tried external audio yet. BT works.

I'll try to get a logcat during next weekend (starting on a business trip now).

Hello, really love this Rom and that you are updateing it. The only thing that would make it perfect for me would be to center the clock in the status bar. Maybe you can add this function in the next update.

Good morning! The problem with checking for updates. The second day is like this. To whom, what is known? The site listed below in the screenshot also does not enter.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You need to use the TWRP provided with the last OTA (here) to get decryption working.

Sadly this build lacks unzip binary, so mostly all install will fail. I have some experimental builds with workarounds. Feels free to ask into my dedicated twrp thread (link in my signature).

Sorry for this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] xCJ999:
Hi,

Thank you very much for this awesome ROM.

i am using it for 2 months now as a daily driver and am very happy with it.

Sadly since the 0320 version from nailyk I have audio problems. Did a clean install with a system wipe before.

The problem is very high background noise when the volume is at more than 50%. Especially with silent songs you can hear it. It sounds a bit like the volume is boosted too much??? Didn't have that on earlier versions.

I can hear the noise on different headphones, the speaker of the phone and over Bluetooth as well. So it seems to me like it could be a processing thing. Does it make sense to add logs? If so, what log would you like?

Anyone experiencing the same? Does anyone have advice what I could try yo fix my problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] betacrypt:
Hm I haven't seen anyone report an issue like this before. Were you experiencing it on the Feb build? I'm on the 0320 build and the sound output is just fine. I would just re-flash the Feb build as the fastest workaround if you didn't encounter this problem on it.

You could also try downloading a BuildProp editor and editing the audio settings there (you'll need to look up a guide on how to do this - here's one you could try following: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-build-prop-tweaks-t3376962)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] VinSilvano:
Hi, I have a question. Is this ROM worth to install over stock Marshmallow for a daily use? What should I install, February or March build?

Thank you for your work
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] betacrypt:
Absolutely! It's very stable aside from a few quirks and minor bugs. I would flash the Feb build personally. It feels a bit more stable than the March one. But you'll need to use the Footej camera app for video recording.

In Service Settings, my phone shows Bootloader Unlocked: No. Are you telling me there's a way around this? If so, can you please share it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You need to unlock your BL.

This is a DEV thread. If you do not know the step to install customs roms, a good advice would be to read, read and read again documentation about customs roms, backups TA, unlocking bootloader, unbricking, emma reflash, etc.... You have a lot of resources on the sticky threads on our device section.

If you, or someone else mind, open a q&a/noob/no-dev thread for this kind of support, then fells free to ping me into for ""highest"" questions.

(Just to be clear, am not telling you I wont help, just this is not the right place. Welcome, soon, to Omni's world :highfive: )

AOA 2.0 support

Does anyone know will it ever be normal support for AOA 2.0 for android 8.1? I have read many complaints about many android 8.1 phones not connecting to car audio devices, so this is not related only with omnirom for z3c. My JVC KD-X210 digital receiver worked fine with 7 or older android, but from 8 just shifting from charging to MTP, and even plays a sound for a second and shifts back to charging in a loop. tried turning on USB debuging, selecting MPT as default, JVC app. Nothing works...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mdncb:
Hi all,

I'm using the latest (2018-03-20) build after coming over from a 23.5.A.1.291, and I like omni so far but I'm worried about how hot my phone gets now. Any light usage sends the temp well about 40C, and I can always feel it hot in my pocket. The battery drain is much higher than my previous rom, too. I've seen a couple of other posts mentioning overheating. Any suggestions? Are previous builds better for battery temperature?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
My phone was pretty hot after each update. Even my screen was shaded due to high temp.

Then it went back to normal temp.

You always have high temp ?

Probably an App using high CPU.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mdncb:
It cools down completely when the phone's off, but as soon as I start using it again it heats up like a jet engine. The battery is never below 45C and the CPU hovers around 65C continually and that's just from browsing an using youtube. No torrents, no gaming. I'm too afraid to keep this rom on my phone, and I don't think it can just be down to apps since others have reported heat issues too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I know it will sound as an usual question, but have you done a clean install of the rom before?

I mean, clearing the whole device before flashing the rom ?

Very often, issues comes from cache, data or system not erased before. Left over data or cache has the habits to create unusual behaviour.

I'd suggest you to erase your system, cache and data partition and reflash the rom, an SU app and GSuite.

Then test device before restoring apps and settings.

Anyone made some comparison between Marshamllow's photo quality with locked bootloader and Oreo with restored DRM keys?

Photo quality is probably the only reason why I still stick to stock 6.0.1 beacuse I use my phone as handy camera.

microg and f-droid

Hey, would you mind to include the following additional components in your awesome rom?

* the patch from microg for nougat+

* The f-droid priveleged extension

* finally (maybe) microg mapsv1 component

This would be really great. especially the first is really annoying otherwise (because the premissions and settings have to be reset after each and every update). Sorry not to post links: XDA does not allow me.

Hi all!

It's been a while since I flashed a phone (last one I think it was my late Samsung back in 2007!!!)

I followed this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/z3-compact-marshmallow-to-oreo-step-step-t3720857

and flashed omni.

Now Z3c is stuck on animated oreo logo for over an hour or so...

Can anyone help?

It wasn't a smooth ride though....

I had to do it twice because the first time I flashed gapps 8.0 by mistake...

I still can access twrp but I don't know how to fix this
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
I followed the same procedure (with a lot of side steps).

Can you still start in recovery mode (TWRP) ?

If yes, that's a very good point. If not, you should install it in Flashmode .

With a working Recovery mode, you should be able to recover your phone through flashing rom, SU app and Gapps.

TWRP 3.2.1 installed omni version from above thread . Boot to recovery working in following ways-

1. Power menu option "reboot to recovery" works

2. When phone off "Power button till sony logo then Rapidly tap VOLUME UP" works

The method given in above thread doesn't work (press vol-down + power, when phone vibrate, unpress only power button. See logo 'Sony' unpress vol-down button.).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Flamefire:
I can't find the option for "Control the brightness by swiping across status bar!" Is this gone?

Also I get a crash when trying to open "keys" in omnigears. Log says "no service for fingerprint" -> "NPE on accessing fingerprint...."

The link to TWRP is broken. The newest TWRP has a bug which cannot install GApps, so use an older version. I used https://releases.nailyk.fr/twrp/twrp_z3c_2017-11-21.img with success.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] devil188:
Thanks for the report. Link is fixed

As long as its 8.1, it doesn't matter.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] rovers3:
Thank you

This is working great. Few little things I did forced me to reset once. As well needed to download the Music app (prefers Sony's) no big deal.

Getting the rom installed was as simple as can be and no issues whatsoever following the guide.

I do have one question and I looked at this thread but have not found it. How do you get the percentage of the battery on the tool bar with the battery icon?

I do not see a way to do this.

I only noticed one other thing that is pestering me. If I leave the phone in my pocket for some time, and then take it out and open it. The screen is dim until I unlock the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] card-us:
Hi, this sound weird, but which gapps i should use..?? 64Bit or normal ones?

I got the same dim issue before unlock. I thought I was alone :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] rovers3:
Thanks [MENTION=3330244]TimMayle[/MENTION] that fixed the battery percentage.

I am looking also at why it stays dim.

In pocket or not it is the same issue, it is only a real problem in direct sunlight as you cannot see the screen.

Interestingly it happens only after it sits for several minutes (seems like 5 or more but i have not timed it). If open the screen after a few minutes it is bright as you would expect.

It is almost as if light sensor is not activated or put into a lower power mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Barciej33:
I have the same problem. In my case it's connected with Universal SafetyNet Fix. My phone was recognised as Z3C again after I turned it off. I don't know how to fix it in a different way.

A few issues

Hi!

I've been using Oreo now for a couple of months now and it is really good for the most parts. I have few problems that are quite annoying. Maybe they are because I didn't install GAPPS?

First, the most annoying. After a while after using the phone the screen won't rotate automatically, only manually. Rebooting fixes this again for a while.

Then, the not so annoying issue. I have constant problems with network connection. The phone connects to 2.4 and 5 ghz wi-fi flawlessly but some (maybe all?) apps still won't regonize the wi-fi. Like in Antennapod [IMG="Antennapod"]https://imgur.com/vjzTWpl.png[/IMG] when trying to download a podcast while disabling downloading on mobile data from settings.

Lastly, Yalp Store [IMG="Yalp Store"]https://imgur.com/LaxsRzy.png[/IMG] doesn't regonize any network connections.

Sorry, I don't knkow which logs I should copy here if any?

Any ideas? And thanks for everything!

Hi,

since more than two months no news?

It seems that i have bad luck with custom roms on z3c. Everytime i switch to a new rom, it dies after a short time. :D

Nevertheless, the rom is pretty cool, but i have some small issues:

- GPS needs really some time to get a fix

- only one notification sound for diffrerent notifications? (Game-Notifications, email, ... uses not their own sounds but the system-notif-sound?)

- videorecording shows the colored stripe

- sometimes error messages shows up, mostly "Android WebView has stopped"

- Every link is opened in an "in-app-browser"-window (I think this will be adjustable, but where?)

Kind regards,

Minfred
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Hello guys,

I was wondering if you also face this Reboot issue:

Context: I'm on the phone and receiving a second call.

How: I send a pre-formated SMS to the second caller. Device reboots when sending SMS.

SMS is sent, but does not appear in SMS app. I know this as the caller sometimes replies me back.
​

Would be great if you could test on your side :)

Tim
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Hello Minfred,

You're right, there's less releases recently. But that's probably because the rom became very stable.

GPS fix is slow when you don't use GSM data. That's what I've noticed. but that's by design imho

Videorecording, many uses Footej app as main on does not work properly.

About in-app-browser, you might check here: "Application & Notifications/ Advances parameters / Default apps"

Android WebView has stopped. Had this a few times in previous releases. Never seen anymore since 2-3 releases. makes me think about the android webview package that is updated through Play Store.

I'm looking forward a new rom update as there's some little issue with Bluetooth on last update.

MHL outputs black screen

Problem:

When I try to connect z3c running omni-8.1.0-20180320-z3c-nailyk to my TV via powered Samsung MHL cable only the black screen is outputted(not "No Signal").

If I connect MHL in the middle of booting process the loading animation(although weirdly positioned) is displayed on the TV, then again - the black screen.

Previous ROM I had was lineage-14.1-20171006-UNOFFICIAL-z3c by tomascus and it outputs the image to the TV perfectly.

System info: omni-20180320, microG and F-Droid via NanoDroid-17.1a.20180507, no root is present.

Log: https://pastebin.com/KsgAAiFx

I believe the important part starts at line ~686, there is a lot of junk because I had to plug a mouse via OTG since the device display is cracked and touchscreen isn't working.

Also TWRP currently linked in the first post(twrp_z3c_2018-03-28) refuses to install anything other than the ROM itself(to install NanoDroid I had to flash twrp_z3c_2017-11-21 as per #843)

Hi [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION], first of all big thanks for all your efforts bringing omni on z3c.

Second, didn't test the rom yet tho, but I'm a bit curious about the work on camera.. recently the guys on CarbonRom did an awesome job fixing the camera and adding 4k and 120fps, is there a reason for this not to be on omni as well? I'm just a beginner and still trying to get how the work is done among the projects.

Thanks for now,

Cheers!
