Is it possible to get rid of this annoying Keyboard selector button? So that the entire keyboard comes down 1 cm to the bottom of the screen? I cant find the settings for it...

Interesting bug. When I start music, the sound is great for a moment, then it gets quieter and sounds bad. No matter whether YouTube or music player.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] choco62:
Flashed this rom on my SGP611, everything works so far.

Here's what i did :

Initial setup : SGP611 latest stock + fastboot patched kernel with recovery

- Boot to recovery

- Had to follow siphyn instruction because the error E3004 appeared ( https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-z3tc-lineageos-18-1-sgp621-unofficial.4256523/post-85873381)

- Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.

- Flash the ROM Zipfile.

- Reboot

I can confirm this behavior.

Otherwise this ROM is great.

Great work!

Omfg!!!I thought this tablet's development was dead!!!Thanks Dev to give life to this superb rom!!! Otherwise from this sound bug,anything else is OK? I mean zoom,Skype etc?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
Guys PLEASE help me.I spent 5 whole hours trying to install the rom without success.I unlocked my bootlader.The problem is that i couldn't manage to install the pinned recovery so to flash rom.Before some years i had flashed the latest stock prerooted firmware with twrp 3.0.2 also installed (i think) Please someone tell me how to flash the pinned recovery.I tryied very much through PC,but nothing! Also tryied to flash from 3.0.2 recovery as a recovery in option,but just red letters appeared.Please help me i have spent many hours...Also how to enter properly to recovery?From 50 times i tryied,it booted just once.Wtf guys...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
To my bad,things came even worse.I wiped also system.Tablet now can't even boot nor enter to twrp cause probably it was attached to the rom.What to do now?How can i flash recovery from pc at that point?I had enabled usb debbuging,but i never saw and checked this window appearing on tablet that says to accept the connection with pc.Can i flash the stock rom?Battery is also about just 30% and if i connect it to the charger,sceeen goes on and red led appears and i don't know if it is being charged.Is it charging at this point?Please help me guys i loved very much this tablet, i don't want it dead..
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
Sorry for flooding,but i finally made it! Let me ask..Which gapps to use? i flashed armv7 opengapps pico but red letters..😞
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] corb06:
I flashed open_gapps-arm-11.0-nano-20220126, works fine.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
thanks.Omg it was one of the best and worse flashing of my life..I begun 19:00 and ended at 05:00.Finally all is OK.7 years and this tablet is so lovely.I flashed mind the gapps.As for magisk,I just renamed the apk to zip,flashed,then erased the apk and flashed v23 from recovery.All is good.A bug is that tablet doesn't turn off while on charger.Also today I notice some graphics lag,but it begun just since I enabled power saving battery.So I don't suggest u to activate it just in case..camera doesn't work,but mine was suddenly broken since 2 years now.So probably is hardware issue.Does anyone know where we can find genuine battery?Also Dev will continue to update this ROM? @evil-god
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] evil-god:
as long lineage will keep 18.1(android 11) "alive". but the road should go to 19.1 aka android 12, but thats not decided.

Anybody having issues with the lamp function? It says its used by the camera app which it isnt. Known issue?

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
Really thank you for keeping our beloved tablet to life.Today I was thinking to move to s new one,but I just couldn't. Z3's smoothness,screen,lightness etc are fantastic.I now try to find a new battery but I can't..I have another new unused battery sitting on my old Z3 tablet compact (I damaged it's pins it trying to put the new battery myself and then bought a used one)in my basement 4 years now but idk if it will be better from this one cause of time just sitting..So guys be EXTREMELY careful if you decide to change battery.Pins are sooo tiny.Also could you update to new build with latest Los sources?Maybe with sound volume fix?I also sometimes i have lags on apps and tablet doesnt wake fast with dt2w.I can donate you also for your work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] evil-god:
there is no update from upstream, as soon they bring the sources to security string 2022-02-05, i will do a rebuild. there is no fix for the volume bug, as far i know. sorry.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ermann123:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] phil_87:
I'm really sorry. I haven't gotten around to re-enacting this again with the error of the sd card being formatted "as internal storage". I have to reproduce the error again and first find out how and where I can get the log files. I will of course provide you with the information you need.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] phil_87:
Yes it works. Magisk v24. Apk into zip then flash in your recovery.

Hi, I've been struggling with this for two days ... I have sgp611. I installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 and was able to run lineageos 15.1. However, with TWRP 3.0.2-0 I can't install 18.1(error: 1), after installing recovery from # 2, it doesn't boot to recovery. Will someone share a good recovery and help me install it in a good way?

I used tips from #67 and#219, after that nothing boot, but TWRP 3.0.2-0 work just fine.

I searched a lot of posts and can't deal with it, i would be grateful for somebody's help.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kistigun:
I had the same problem(error 1 while flashing with TWRP 3.0.2) I solved it by using the ROM for SGP621, OF recovery and the tips in post #67
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
had same issue 2 times.Spends about 12 hours at recovery issue.Enable USB debugging,install 15 seconds adb install.Put the recovery on a folder and open cmd inside this folder.Type adb reboot bootloader.Then fastboot flash recovery 'name of recovery'.img ( i used pitchblack) then type fastboot reboot recovery 'name of recovery).img (or boot if u want to boot just once) At this point,tablet won't boot to recovey don't know wtf.Pull the cable and press volume+ and power till it vibrates and close.Then power on and when sony logo appears press many times volume down and finally it will boot to pitchblack.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] hyde252:
Will you say exactly what recovery should I download? From post # 2 to sgp621?

which version of pichtblack and where did you download from?

Thanks, i will try as soon as possible.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
From this thread at post #2.If still u cant flash pitchblack,first flash Los recovery included in the same folder of the new build with the same way I described.Then again with the same way flash pitch recovery.Also flash mindthegapps right after ROM,then reboot again to recovery and flash latest magisk 24.1.zip.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] exis_tenz:
Really exciting news,wow! Two questions: just "dirty flash" this in recovery?

Second: I have Pico GAPPS installed but actually want to de-Google. Is there an easy way (without losing apps, settings, data) to get rid of it or will only a clean install do the job?

Regards and a big thumbs up!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
According to #1 it´s on your own risk and may lead to strange behaviour. I did dirty flash any release of this ROM since second release and never faced into an issue. Maybe this will work for you too.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kos25k:
Please someone suggest a good battery for this legend 🤗
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] corb06:
Thanks for the Wifi-update. Been using it for a day now and for my usage everything works. (Dirty flashed)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] exis_tenz:
Can you explain what you mean? A regular dirty flash doesn't de-install GApps, right? So I suppose when Evil_God releases updates they can ALWAYS be dirty flashed over a previous version?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
A dirty flash is only wiping cache and dalvik then flashing your ROM. You can do this when updating your ROM.

When you flash a new ROM you have to wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.

This is how I flash my ZT3C since Lineage 14.1 / AICP (2018).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] exis_tenz:
@tommes_d: I am already on this ROM just wanted to get rid of GApps.

@All: does Magisk survive a dirty flash or needs it to be re-installed?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
Dirty flash does not uninstall GApps.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Pfrinz:
I tried updating via recovery - apply update - adb sideload and it doesnt work, neither did installing it from the device itself.

Whats the easiest way to do this please?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] exis_tenz:
I am using Pitch Back Recovery and I just flashed the update. Worked like a charm.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
@Dark001 : Boot your device in bootloader mode and flash the recovery from #1 with this command:

fastboot flash FOTAKernel OF-recovery.img
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Dark001:
This works.

Now try to install this rom finally.

UPD: looks like all works for me, without root I cannot restore some of my apps with Titanium but Google servises restored few with all data and customizations.

@evil-god , hope you fix 5Ghz WiFi like in 15.1 and root too. Good luck!

Unfortunately for me it is not legit without Magisk. Going to give it another try when Magisk support is ready. :)

Working just fine here as well. Had some trouble updating the YouTube Vanced with their Vanced Manager. Download kept stopping after a few %. Sometimes 50%, sometimes 17% and so on. Ramdomly. Ended up downloading an APK of latest YouTube. Im guessing its ROM-related, but I have not experienced any similar problems with the ROM. Updating YouTube Vanced on Tab S7, S7+, Tab A, all phones worked flawlessly.

Work very well for my SGP612 (with SGP611 rom).

For information, stubborn as I am, I also tried to flash magisk (V22.1_mod_sony and V22.4) with different method suggested previously (clean or dirty flash, with or without reboot...etc) but it does not seams to work :

with 22.1_mod, I can only reboot to recovery with pbrp

with V22.4, I got stuck on the xperia black screen, no hability to reboot to recovery so I had to clean flash the lineage rom.

For magisk to work,use pinned pichblack pinned recovery then flash pinned magisk,then uninstall magisk manager app,then flash magisk 24.1 end then from magisk manager just update to latest magisk.I noticed after installing any version of magisk,it boots always to recovery.Its ok, just re-reboot to system!I also noticed that tablet freezes after waking it up from some hours of deep sleeping.Solution is to clear all recent (if u somehow finally manage to enter them 😔)
