Let me know if it works for you please.

BTW, are you updated to Magisk 16.0? I am still on 15.2 since it was the one I saw someone mentioned that worked for him so I still havent tried updating just in case :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] hero123456:
i also have the mac address changes issue
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] koron393:
(Wi-Fi) MAC address keep app (named macaddrsetup) is missing due to previous commit so (Wi-Fi) mac address changes every reboot.

I will fix next release.

Temp fix

Extract attached zip file and place files to /system/vendor/bin/ and set permission/policy to like this.

# chmod 755 /system/vendor/bin/macaddrsetup
# chcon u:object_r:addrsetup_exec:s0 /system/vendor/bin/macaddrsetup

# ls -lZ /system/vendor/bin/macaddrsetup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell u:object_r:addrsetup_exec:s0 16196 2018-02-24 13:51 /system/vendor/bin/macaddrsetup

I can't thank you enough, you are doing such a great job for our device. I bought my z3tc in late 2016 so I thought I'd never see any development on it as it was already 3 years old back then but you are keeping the device alive. Please don't ever stop your work. :o

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] eboelens:
Thanks all works fine now. The camera is working much better then before.

Thanks for all the work.

A new life for the family tablet ;)

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ElGrandeFez:
I fixed it eventually by downloading the Google apk from apkmirror and simply copying in to /system/app-priv. After a few rounds of the Google app misbehving and a reboot or two it started working OK. I may have also cleared the cache at some point. Can't be more specific than that I'm afraid.

I want to try this rom but my bootloader is to old. Does anyone know where i can find the latest stock rom FTF for SGP611?

Will it work with stock opengapps?

Does anyone know whether the latest ROM will work with stock opengapps?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] the_brad:
As I had to deal with that question by myself just yesterday: No, because there are no stock openGapps for 8.1 atm.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] franc.kurnia:
There is, but unofficial one:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/files/arm/20180225/
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] the_brad:
I can't get past the initial install. After first boot, I get a repeating force close of setup wizard. I can't get into any menu, cause everything stays locked until the setup is completed. I already tried with and without magisk v16.0 and openGapps (unoff. for 8.1). Every trial after a full wipe.

Any ideas? My device is SGP621.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] mind.inc:
Did you pick the correct gapps package (8.1 arm)? May be a gapps misbehavior. I picked pico and everything's fine. Just a suggestion.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] the_brad:
Yes, I picked 8.1 arm aroma. But it also occures when there are no Gapps flashed... (after a wipe of course)

---------- Post added at 16:02 ---------- Previous post was at 15:45 ----------

I found a workaround! I mounted /system partition in TWRP an deleted the folder of the app /system/priv-app/setup-wizard (hope, that's the exact path), reboot and it works :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kiwii.cz:
not really solved...

In my case (SGP621) after deleting of /system/app-priv/SetupWizard.apk I can go into normal lanucher, but android is quite unusable. Only back button works, no possibility to install something with GooglePlay, access to setting from the upper bar not possible too, etc...

I tried many different GApps for 8.1. Same result. SetupWizard enable to start or finished in cycle later...

Probably SetupWizard.apk need to be started for proper work of system???

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] the_brad:
Yes, indeed. In the meantime, I had some time for testing different configurations. The result was quite simple for me: Wipe and reinstall everything, start up without a Sim card inserted!

That worked for me. I finished the wizard, rebootet with a Sim inserted and all worked fine.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] orjanraberg:
Thanks a lot for this ROM! I installed on my SGP611 yesterday and it is like a new device now. I especially like to have the latest security updates after being stuck on Android 6 for two years.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kiwii.cz:
Yes! You are right! Thanks.

SetupWizard have problem with inserted SIM card. Without SIM card everything works well.

Now I am facing another issue.

Flashable update.zip with hundreds of my backuped apps+data (prepared by Titanium Backup) does not work when flashing by TWRP...

In TWRP (3.1.1.3) flashing runs without any problems or errors, but after (wipe cache/dalvik) and system reboot, there are no restored apps in android. Nothing?!

(Apps were backuped in Lineage unofficial version of Android 7.1.2 by the newest version of TiBu.)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] master_d3:
slow charging

Thanks for that ROM, i have been using in my SGP611 since 3 week ago, i just have 1 problem.... i don't know if is a bug or hardware issue, but since i installed AICP when i'm charging my device appear a message "slow charging" and take more time that before to charge... i use original charger and i have tried with other charger and cord, but i have the same problem...

I'll appreciate you can check this
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] cesar65:
AFAIK, that's a well known issue with many custom ROMs. Fast charging is a delicate feature with the potential to damage the device if not done properly. Potentially, there is also proprietary vendor specific code involved. As I see it, don't expect it to be working any time soon. Instead, be happy that the ROM exists and be even happier should devs manage to make this feature work too.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] mind.inc:
I would appreciate some help: there's a problem with my connection I guess. since a few days I can't use e.g. netflix, vpn, tunein, some games as they all tell me I have no connection. browser works as it should. I also did wipe cache/dalvik/system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
Hi All,

Can someone PLEASE explain me howcome the Exynos variant's bootloader is unlockable while his Snapdragon counterpart is not? was it made in purpose from Samsung's side?

Is this bootloader unlocking of the Snapdragon variant is "dead end" 100% and he who wants custom recovery (TWRP) on Note 8 should obtain ONLY the Exynos variant ?

Thank you very much

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbedard:
Yes its dead it wont happen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
Alright then I'll sell my SM-N950U1 and purchase a new Android based phone that has a custom recovery option in XDA.

Any suggestions? does the note 8 has the best specs?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myechophone:
So you purchased a $1000 phone... without understanding the limitations?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Facepalm
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
Unfortunately yes

This is my 2nd note and 4th galaxy

I only had Samsung's and they all were fully rooted with custom recovery.

This is the first and last time I buy cell phone with a locked bootloader i.e doesn't have TWRP option.

I don't need much TWRP as I need Xposed (although NAND backup could be very useful) but it seems they have a correlation.

I will sell this phone and buy the Exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Yeah that's the best thing you could do. Honestly rooting and roms dien breed unfortunately. It hurts me to say that :( I am a die hard fan of it. I knew my model didn't have the best for root before I bought. Phone has the most sought after features.

I mean look at apple even copying a lot of samsung. That says something. I got my model because my carrier offered a more affordable payment plan then samsung. Once One plus catches up with samsung features that will be the phone to buy for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
Unfortunately it will cost just as much if not more.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Samsung vast amount of features with one plus vast root/rom community= Dream come true and take my 1k please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
Only if they stay true to the developement community.

Samsung used to be happy to support the developement community too, they had active representatives on our forums and every time a new phone came out, the new apps and feature that had been created here were suddenly incorporated into the new "Official Firmware"...

They even poached devs to work for them..

Then came KNOX and the end of Samsung support, though they do still seem to look for ideas to incorporate into their firmware for the latest devices at the best price to them, free...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
That is definitely true. I remember having galaxy 1,2,3 and it was Rom heaven. I don't see One Plus going that route though. They started from the gate with Rom openness and listening.

I definitely think it's wrong how all the big phone makers turned there back on Rom community. Most of the great features phones have now days is because of developers. Then constraint that wtf?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
No one have yet to explain why the Exynos variant has an unlocked bootloader.

Was is it deliberate by Samsung i.e lock the Snapdragon BL and unlock the Exynos BL ?

or was it through an effort of the XDA community to unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eduardmc:
Im happy without root. Since we can do so many tweaks woth ADB and we also have apps. Like disconnet pro or adhell which only works on samsung phones to remove ads on apps. (Hate those vpn software like blokada adguard etc). Other things like getting spotify apps free ads. Youtube app free ads can all be found here if u look for it. Not sure why i would need root now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Has a lot to do with Carriers and Manufacturers.

Greed-

Choking innovation-

Little bit of security-

They know Roms can prolong the life of a phone and have features that the next device has. Of course they want you to buy over priced products every year.

Basically Androids turning into Apple. Google this if you will. Apple charges $1k for iphone x, yet only costs them $357 to make. That's incredible greedy returns.

Most of us at XDA know all this, but what can we do? We just say screw it and buy atleast the best android phone. You want root/rom? Stick to international/manufactured versions. Also make sure that international version has bootloader Unlock. Best bet is OnePlus latest phone for Root/Roms experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Alternatively can they not produce a "developer" edition of the Note 8 with no Knox at all and no locked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
I thought I bought an international one the SM-N950U1 is carrier unlocked. The irony is that I bought in the US to spare 100-200$ but where I currently live they sell the Exynos variant.

It's such a shame they (Samsung) doesn't give us the option to choose if want Knox or not. I'll try to sell my phone and buy a rootable with unlocked bootloader phone the Exynos variant is a possibility. They lost me as a devoted customer I can tell you.

Anyhow from what I understand the Exynos variant had an unlocked bootloader in the first place. No one had to nothing to unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Accidentally responded to fast, disregard this.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Exynos only option. They won't do that because they hate unlocked bootloaders. I am amazed international version has unlocked bootloaders. Probably because they can't it's not carrier locked. Legal reasons as well guessing. Sure that pisses off the manufactures, lol @ them.

It's not just Samsung bro. Pretty much all of them do it. Like I said before always stick to international with phones for unlocked bootloaders. Gotta find which version is bootloader unlocked 1st. Because you get screwed like you did. Especially if you care about root/roms. I myself knew I'd be screwed before even buying snapdragon Note 8. But carrier had best affordable payment plans.

$200 down and $20 month. Plus able to jump to new phone anytime. Hard to say no to that. This phone pricing ability due to carrier and packed features. Made it easy to over look root/rom. I miss Roms dearly though. Idc what anyone says Roms poop on ANY stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Last Note with unlocked bootloader was the T Mobile Note 3 I owned.

I'm happy with stock N8 on tmo. Lots of "stuff" already can be done. I also use Substratum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Roms have come a long way since Note 3 lol. Not try sound like a smart AO to you. But when was last time used a Rom? Bro for example Res remix is breathtaking with the features. My last phone had that Rom. Made stock look like a welfare case.

Not going to lie Samsung does have best stock IMO out of other stock androids.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Never had the balls or inclination to use a ROM on my Note 3 at that time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rypz79:
Mine (SM-N950U1) is carrier unlocked.

I don't even live in the US.

I'm not sure there is a connection between unlocked bootloader and unlocked carrier.

Hi all. I am trying to learn the finer points of cooking a rom. I havent been able to cook a new version of Comm Manager into any rom, because when I run BuildOS, it finds a duplicate copy, even though I have searched and searched, and still cannot find it. Same goes for Config_PT. I need to edit config_pt to add UC to the rom. Does anyone know how to do either of these
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:
I'm not sure what phone you are trying to cook for but Comm Manager stuff is located in the OEM folder under OEMAPPS on my phone. You need to remove the comm manager files and delete the .rgu reg keys related to it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghettofreeryder:
I am trying to cook into a Touch, using the no2chem base 107 rom. Everytime i try to run buildos when cooking in a comm manager, it says it finds a duplicate of commmanager.exe. This file, however, does not exist anywhere in my oems or sys folders. Same goes for config_pt.txt. Any idea where else to check?

OK, so I just did a check, and the file might be being created by a dsm in oem\operatorPKG_PT. How can I change this file to not create this file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:
I just checked the basekit No2Chem made for the Vogue. CommManager.exe is located in the OEM/OEMAPPS folder. There are a total of 5 files you need to remove from that folder to get rid of commmanger completly.

Just like every other person I'm trying to find out what devices are affected.

But what I keep finding is

ALMOST every blah blah blah Intel blah blah arm.

But what I really want is a list of devices

Which Samsung devices?

Which Google devices?

I don't care about the patches out today as what devices are originally affected..

Then I want to know if there is a fix and how to go about getting it.

(I'm sure most old android devices will not get an update, almost zero tv's will be updated and no idea of the internet connected cars and security systems)

As far as I can tell the bugs has no bearing on any thing that I don't have online.

(This must have been the bug the cylons used to decimate their opposition, from all the fear I have been hearing and seeing online)
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
For these exploits to work, someone has to physically have your phone. Only Meltdown has been partially addressed, and the mitigation has a noticeable impact on performance.

However, if your data is encrypted and you have separate passwords (long for boot) and short for screen, you are safe in most cases. If your phone is off, it would only take a State actor to get your data. All others will have no luck. And if you know that your phone had been in someone's hands, then either replace the phone or wipe and reinstall everything.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andromodgod:
Brilliant Work man. I also was sort of in your situation as well . i have a panasonic Eluga A3 (Qmobile Noir E2) in my country. Stock Qmobile rom was horrendous. so i flashed the panasonic rom but hated the boot audio and the bloatware that came with it. so i decided to make a slimmed down version of it and successfully did it by using superr's kitchen. and also using the kitchen i removed the encryption on the boot.img and then patched it using magisk for easy rooting without recovery. when flashed together with the modded system.img and modded boot.img and twrp, i was totally in control of my device.

If you need any help with anything mtk send me a pm

also are you able to access internal storage in twrp or not ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bad.bid:
I can access internal storage in twrp. There's a choice to select the internal storage. Havent backed up to it or anything. But its there. I copied a file into it through TWRP now, and it works. I think its all about the fstab. If you don't get access to internal storage, see for any red errors in TWRP output. I can look into my fstab to see what's relevant.

I have a little hiccup though. Now my network drops (both sim at a time), even during a call. But maybe its because I swapped sim 1 and sim 2. I'll let things settle and see if it will persist. In the meanwhile, I swapped sims back to original.

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andromodgod:
i wasn't able to access internal storage at first because device was encrypted beforehand. also sim issues might be caused by imei/nvram . check if your device imei matches your imei on the device box.

Ya, I fixed Imei issues. this one is like a signal drop once every 15 minutes.
