I'm sorry for my answer.

I'ts not a problem of patch!

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I have a problem like this: the screen is turning off when i start calling and it doesn't turn on until the end of the call, even i press all the buttons: including power and volume buttons. Then I have installed other another rom - LineageOS 15.0. There I have the same problem, when I installed other version of Carbon rom 6.1 i have the same problem.

And I was not able to find answer for my issue.

Your proximity sensor is defective or broken.

On omni you have an option to disable it as a workaround.

When the last build is corrupted (now removed from the homepage), i decided to flash the new kernel and double tap to wake just work like magic with old build.

Noticed that the GPU performance was dramasticly improved too, i get a whole lot more fps in a few games :D
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] vietlinhukk:
I have a problem, not only this update, but most rom 8.x. This problem occurs

I was playing games while playing, namely the FULL MOBILE game, which is the error I encountered, hoping the update fix it
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Astarioth:
Some thoughts about camera issues:

Perhaps, the recording-problem is path related (hardcoded in blob).

Maybe the camera blob needs a special directory path for tmp-files or some files in TA-partition or the correct path for storing videos.

Perhaps it is an missing codec to convert camera raw-data to a known video-file format.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] potsau:
Used it for a week. Seems very stable overall, just a few minor issues.

Battery drain/CPU usage is insane. I can't get more than 3h SOT and the phone is heating up pretty quickly. More aggressive throttling would be nice.

Camera Button isn't working and Fibers - Buttons - Advanced options is empty. Maybe it's related?

Please don't take my post as a negative complain, I'm very grateful that Myself5 and the CarbonROM Team included providing roms for our Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ASPHALT5:
I get the same 3h SOT too, but that even happens in stock rom with mine. Camera Button works normally too.

Does it automatically shutdown at night?

Cause I use phone alarm to wake me up, it could be a problem to me.

Except that it's indeed a great rom! love it!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
I can't report such an issue/setting.

I use Carbon Rom 6.1 with 11st Build and so far no automatic shutdowns.

I had problems with random reboots with the Nougat Builds sometimes but that was it.

And i use my phone as a alarm too.

It is still my daily driver, but you ll probably need to change the battery which involves removing the glued back. However, a new xiaomi for about 100 is a better deal I think, and even if you dont need sim functionality, a proper backup phone should have it in case your primary one has an accident..
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
Honestly, its pretty much worth. One in my family use it with carbonrom as a daily driver and works perfecly smooth, like a rocket. Dont expect awesome battery life like in old z3 days (was famous for this) but its definetly worth as a second phone.

You should buy an used XZ1 instead (It is sold nowadays for as low around 100 EUR in Germany!), because it is running a fast SD835 and is rootable without losing the DRM keys: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] techyrock:
Thanks everyone ,I had XZ1 in past I think have it on my signature too although many phones aren't there, I had it in blue, although it had huge bezels but damn following my use of iPhone 6s/7 XZ1 has the best IPS panel I've seen in fact I think it surpasses iPhone, you could even fool someone and say it's an oled , side mounted fingerprint was best I got sooo used to it, but camera was okay not so good especially indoors you see before XZ1 I had S8+ on Gcam and thn the beast itself Pixel 2XL which btw does wonders with night sight, it shocked me every single time with an amazing picture so after those two phones Sony's controlled and locked censor wasn't that good you can't get Gcam to properly work in these phones even given the fact most of phones even Samsung itself has often Sony's IMX less often their own ISOCELL , even Sony admitted that uptil XZ3 they restricted their Cam HW and there were some odd cybershot politics involved , If we give XZ1 a taller display, getting rid of those bezels and if not better a Gcam night sight working camera I would use that device for a long long time it's was a perfect phone despite of smaller battery had amazing battery life

Anyways that got lengthy sorry ,I had love for Sony devices ever since SE T610i

I might get the Z3 I do have the LG V30 for performance use maybe even V40 or XZ3 next

Cheers

Those bezels don't look that bad, if you have the black XZ1! If the display is inactive, the whole front is black and looks real good. I watch 1080p YouTube videos all the time and the classic display ratio combined with the front-facing stereo speakers is great.

I have a Z3 here that I will bring to live again with this ROM! :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
If I may put an end to the discussion: please move this kind of talk to PM or anywhere in the XZ1 forums. This is not the right place.

Now if I may also add my opinion to it: The XZ1 plain sucks. It has nothing special that would justify its horrendous release price, the current prices its selling for is somewhat fine but you could still get better and newer hardware for the same price from various Chinese OEMs.

In addition, Sony officially dropped the platform now, after a single major update, and its currently stuck and will ever be Stuck on July 2019 Pie builds. Those Security updates have recently have been announced to be stopped too, so theres that (keep in mind, theres people that paid a ton of money for the phone at release).

Apart from that I have no idea what Sony is doing with their phones, but all Sonys I have newer than the Z3 (X Performance, XZ, XZ Premium and XZ1) have a HORRIBLE performance even on stock. The UI overall feels highly sluggish and laggy. Slightly better on custom ROMs, but still far away from what can be expected from a device with that hardware.

P.S. Something something Android 10 for Z3 soon™ ...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
I got mine new for 230€,so everything up doesnt apply. Awesome phone for this price, incredible battery life, pretty good photos, no problems at all.

Its true that performance seems slightly laggy compared to something like oreo customs for z3, but customs will solve too (maybe ui is bad? maybe scheduler is set to scale low in frequency? idk, no root no party).

If i have to find a good critic, could be the weight, definetly heavy for a smartphone that is literally a rectangle.

whatch out! latest update is taking you to carbon 10 and requires clean install!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jyavenard:
Been running this ROM for quite a while; updated to Android 10 without realising that it was going to wipe-out everything. When I read about the issues with arm 32 bits, went back to Android 8.1

Now, there's an issue I've been having for quite a while, and only managed to get around by using a 3rd party photo app.

When I use the stock google's photo app and I try to take a video, the screen freeze.

Is there an easy fix for that one?

Another issue: I attempt to use Firefox Preview, the phone will reboot pretty quickly.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nikapos:
i suppose you ve already tried wiping cach and dalvik and cleaning data from the photo app, right?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] funkyjester:
Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right place for my inquiry, but here goes.

I got a Z3 a couple of years ago (for free) and back then I believe I did a little looking around and could not find ANY custom rom to install for it. Recently, after not being able to install some new apps I visited here and came across this AMAZING ROM. Snappy and fast, not bloated, with the only minor issue of slightly higher battery consumption compared to stock (I think). So, I 'm super happy and thank you to the developers for their amazing work.

But. The ROM features spell checking for typing (Settings -> Input Assistance). Under Spell Checker it includes some of the more "popular" languages, but unfortunately not mine (Greek). So my question is simple: how to go about installing the spell checker/input assistance for Greek.

I have found a file online named main_el.dict, size is 2.35MB. Not sure however if it is the correct file, correct format, and of course I have no clue where the dictionary files are stored in this ROM. If anyone could be of assistance I would be truly grateful because it's the only thing missing from an amazing experience with this ROM.

I hope this was not too verbose, thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nikapos:
i think that different keyboards have their own spell check. give gboard a try and let me know.. i ve also found out that swype+dragon keyboard also has offline greek voice recognition, though it is not officially supported anymore
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] funkyjester:
...in the meantime, I found the aosp keyboard dictionary files location. They are inside /system/app/LatinIME/LatinIME.apk, under the res folder inside the .apk file. I tried including the Greek dictionary in the .apk but could not replace the .apk while the phone is running, even with root access. I tried recovery but did not have access to that part of the filesystem to replace the .apk file. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Have you mounted the system partition (In TWRP's main screen, tap on 'Mount', then check 'System') beforehand?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] funkyjester:
It was a mount system as read/write issue. I used Total Commander and it detected that, remounting as r/w. But when I replaced the LatinIME.apk the AOSP keyboard app disappeared completely. I presume there are checks that are made, so someone needs to build the .apk including any additional languages in a very specific way.

In Short

1. Fastboot -> Flash TWRP-2018-03-28

2. Boot to recovery (Vol "-" and Power)

3. Wipe System, Data and Cache

4. Install CR6.1 (+Magisker if needed)

5. Shutdown Phone

6. Fastboot -> Flash TWRP-2017-03-26 or similar

7. Boot to recovery (Vol "-" and Power)

8. Install GApps 8.1*

9. Reboot
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Well i can say how i make it.

I guess you don't have installed a CR 6.1 build yet.

1. Update to newest nailyk twrp (i believe it's the 23.3.18 img; but maybe it is 28.3. You must look).

2. Clean Wipe from the old Rom (cache, Dalvik, system und plus data; don't forget to backup your data with Titanium Backup:) )

3. Flash CR 6.1

4. Boot

5. Reboot in Fastboot mode (blue light)

6. Then downgrade your twrp to the october 2017 twrp.

7. Boot in the Recovery

9. Flash Magisk and Xposed if you want (make a reboot after each flash; just for safety)

8. Flash MindGapps (the developers suggest this variante instead of GApps)

9. Boot System

10. Reboot Phone into Fastboot mode and upgrade your twrp.

Otherwise you get a error if flash the weekly builds of CR 6.1

I guess with .291 rom you mean the stock Rom from sony.

This necessary if you are on the stock rom and want to install a custom rom for the first time.

Because over this Version you can get root access in the stock rom and you can install twrp and then Root.

Hopefully i don't forget anything.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Kinngk:

Hey guys,

I tried it according to the instructions from maxi16 (thanks by the way!)

My problem: after downgrading to twrp_leo_2017-10-02 and installing Magisk and Mindthegapps the system doesn't boot anymore.

It always ends in the twrp-Menu.

Problem is solved now:

1. Check with Emma, if your phone has the compatible bootloader. Flash latest StockROM with Emma, if not. https://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-xperia-z-boot-process-explained-t3359510

2. Don't use any flashtool to flash TWRP.

In the androxyde version I used, I couldn't flash FOTAKernel (at least I didn't manage to make it work :eek:) . Thus, the image will be flashed to the boot section and there be erased by CR6.1.

Use the command-line tools adb and fastboot to flash the TWRP

https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2653540

3. Proceed as described above and flash ROM etc with TWRP.

I hope, this will help other clueless amateurs as I am :D:confused::D
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
You can try to repair the system partition via twrp. Mayby the boot image from the rom is corrupted.

I guess it could have something to do with Magisk because it modifies the boot image of the system.

If that don't help i would suggest you make a clean wipe.

1. ROM

2. GApps

3. Magisk

I don't think so (i'm not completly sure about it) but personally i would first flash Magisk, then reboot and then flash GApps.

Just to be safe.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Popploud:
Still have problems. This is, what I did:

- wipe everything using recovery twrp_z3_2018-03-28 (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, internal memory)

- install CR6.1 via usb otg

- Wipe Cash/Dalvik

- boot into system: successful!

- From CR6.1 restart -> reboot into recovery not successful.

Shutdown and Boot to recovery (Vol "-" and Power) to install Magisk v16 not successful: System is booted. Seems, I can't get into recovery any more.

- Install again twrp_z3_2018-03-28 (with Fastboot via Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde) to install Magisk. Before installing Magisk, I check, if System boots. It does not.

Is something wrong with the twrp?

I checked the md5 sum of the twrp, cr6.1 and magisk, they are ok.

Did I mess up something?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
