Feature requerst
Hi,
Your rom is very good, but i think, is can to a better if getting to merge into this mod: [YKG] Real Xperia Z3 Super Stereo Sound
I think this sound mod is very-very good, and useful. This add a stereo feature for a loud speaker default (nearly, but better than the default), add a clearer sound quality for headphones, and more..
I think this is can to make a more better EVO 10 version in the future.
Thanks, for the listening, and sorry if my english is not the best

as you guys know, this rom worked perfectly with the 4k mod, it just that z1c phone have poor camera that didnt even look like 20.7mp cam. even the camera is poor when an image is zoom in when compared to others like samsung nexus.
and yes i admit that this is a phone not a camera n its a 2013 phone .
in my case the 4k and timeshift are fully working but the quality isnt near enough as 4k as its should be, mine would say 4k vid can be zoom, crop without any pixelated nor blurry.
in z1c the vid is ridiculously big in size and i would say stock cam is sufficient enough . this rom really really good as far as until today,i just do clean install and until now never had cam freeze, maybe in some phone are having freeze depending on manufacture, again really nice rom for daily use

Network issues (radio/baseband)
Hi there, I think this rom is awesome however I am having trouble getting anything above 2G. I have tried flashing stock .108 and .157 (latest) basebands without wipe etc and still can't get it to work. I think my variant is UK. Can anyone send me a working radio/baseband file please? I think the files within a stock rom FTF file should be amss_fs_2.sin, amss_fs_1/sin, amss_fsg.sin, and loader.sin. If could extract these files that work and share a link with us that would be great!
UPDATE: Downloading an older ROM where its baseband worked in the past for me http://dl.weeaboo.com/Z1Compact/D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic%20UK.ftf however I get signal drops.

There's no point in flashing your phone without wiping data, the difference between the kernels of the different builds will leave you with an unstable or badly performing system.
No one has reoprted no network in the KitSlim thread, that I know of. Most problems arise from a bad install where the instructions were not followed and a full wipe not completed. Wipes between firmware builds are essential because of the reason just mentioned.
If you are keen to get the latest firmware then you should head over to IaguCool' s thread on Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker. Follow the instructuions there. You will need a copy of Flashtool and it'd be good to read the thread on 'how to' as all the instructions are there, rather than jump to the last page and ask, which is what everybody does.
A fresh wipe with the latest baseband is bound to sort your problems, then if that fixes it you can always make you way back to KitSlim

I did do a full wipe you see but you are right, after a full reinstall of the stock .108 I was able to get the network back. I was doing it right all along but for some reason when I was about to download network settings my provider (EE) was not listed. Gave them a ring and they sent me the configuration and now it's working better than previously (no signal drop outs). I know very well how to use the Flashtool and where to get it in addition to the stock roms and no I did not just jumped to the last page and ask. There are people out there who exhaust all possibilities before asking for help you know. No one having issues with network you say? Then perhaps you are the one who needs read or should I say search the thread. I will give you a hint, search for terms "radio" and "baseband" and you will all of them with no clearly stated fix. Had this issue in the past with dual recovery and root flash on stock with locked bootloader; exhausted that thread as well!

[quote name="jshotkid" post=57374400]So I have running this rom for about 2 months or so and still loving it ! How ever I have only been able to successfully enter TWRP once and that when i flashed the rom. Volume up when you see the sony logo i thought but it just vibrates and boots up. Ive been running into some bugs like it tells me SU binary needs to be updated but I cant. Also ill be selling my device soon and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. So far what ive found is that using the flashool i should flash 14.4.A.0.157 but I am currently on this rom which is 14.4.A.0.108? I just dont want to end up bricking my device.
**TWRP is volume down at boot**
That's still doesn't work for me. Reinstalled the one click dual recovery twice...says successful. I'm lost

Install NDR Utils, that gives you the option to restart into Phils or TWRP.
Flashing .157 via Flashtool is very easy, if done properly (select all the wipe tickboxes, but exclude TA), it will leave you with a blank up to date phone, with none of your data left on it.
Having .108 already on it will not make any difference. Obviously flashing the phone will remove recovery and root.

Little Problem
Had a little problem during the installation on Recovery PhilzTouch 6.57.8.
I think is an Aroma graphical incompatibility, no big problems.
It was like the background of the installer was trasparent so during the configuration in Aroma i was able to see the "console command" on CWM.

Hi seeing as I have been pointed here I'll repeat the question. I cannot get the wake actions to change from default. I can change them and it says that I am using said function but the action still produces the default function. I am s-off and unlocked on an international version. Have no troubles with this on other roms but prefer to use SD. any ideas or help much appreciated.

Firmware
Is it useful to flash the newest firmware 3.28.401.9 (the thingy that includes modem files etc.) before flashing v22? I´m currently on v20 with firmware 3.28.401.6. v20 needed the new firmware, otherwise wifi won´t work, but v22 still running with the old one.. Is it recommended to flash it anyway? Unfortunately it´s a very time-consuming process to do the firmware upgrade..

I´ve no problems at all. Battery is great and 3g/LTE recception too. So i´ll wait with firmware update until "L" arrives
Only Problem I noticed is, that I can´t get the Doubletap2Wake / Sweep2Wake funktion work in ExtremeEnergySaving Mode... It vibrates on doubletap/sweep but no wake... :/ Not sure if it´s the rom or my mistake. I´ve enabled the feature in sense mod but it´s only working on ExtendedBatterySaving disabled!

Bought a G3 , What do I do now?

Hey guys, I've just received my new G3
My knowledge with android phones is very weak, having only rooting my 1st Gen Nexus 7 to and flashing stock roms & owning a windows phone .
Is it worth flashing a new rom to my G3 or should I stick with stock? Any ROM's which are highly regarded? How would I do this + root?
I will be having a 32gb memory card in this phone, Is it better to install everything on the SD card in the first place e.g apps,pictures e.c.t. so if I decide to flash a new ROM I wouldn't lose everything.
Also is there any way to get my contacts from windows live onto my new phone?
I would greatly appreciate your help

* Use it !
* be aware of the sd card, it should be a modern one so you don't risk performance
* don't bother installing stuff on the card - apps are lost anyway
* you can keep personal media / pics / etc on the card, that is a reasonable practice ...
* the current state of software (lollipop) doesn't allow root / flashing stuff; however there are options for kit kat (if you are still on it) and moving then to lollipop keeping your custom parts that allow third party flashing (my 2 cents this is not worth it at the moment ...)
* moving contacts along should be easy by either syncing them to some cloud service (outlook maybe) or exporting / importing them - LG software knows how to import popular formats ...

If you are new read phone FAQ then.

As above. I was looking at the AndroidNow HD rom which seems to look good but is it worth the upgrade over stock?
At the time of writing this, I've successfully rooted my G3 & my current firmware is 4.4.2

im getting mine tomorrow and going on holiday on Saturday so i need to make sure i have the best experience =D

It allows you to tweak a wide range of things, it's fantastic, but only works on Dalvik, not Art. So you have to use KitKat.

Welcome to Android!
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
Typically you'll find a tab saying root info for each phone model in the forum. However, these tabs (same for ROMs) are typically not as updated as the forum threads. You'll find most info/guides for that kind of stuff in general, seeing how in most cases in concerns the phone in general, more-so than a specific development for the phone (such as a specific phone).
Make sure you carefully read the original post for each software seeing how different softwares can only be used in certain situations. For example, the LG G3 comes in different models, and some software only work for the specific ones, some things are developed for certain android versions (such as lollipop vs. kitkat), some softwares are developed for stock-based roms, and some are developed for aosp-based roms, and the list goes on.
It's not as complicated as it sounds, and it doesn't take as long as you might imagine to get settled, but it takes some getting used to.
To answer your specific questions:
1 )how to root

1. After you've rooted your phone, you need to install a custom recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298, check Q4).
2. When done with that you download a [ROM (whatever the rom is called)].zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772658), and typically Gapps, and place on SD card.
3. Boot into recovery, and wipe the phone (I usually go for factory reset/make fresh install + wipe cache + wipe Dalvik-cache)
4. Now you need to flash the ROM + gapps. Do that by install zip --> install from SD card --> click the [ROM].zip (and then gapps)
5. Reboot and enjoy!

I'll admit that I have not read the specifics of each thread I've linked, so make sure that it applies to you before you go about and install stuff (by reading first post in each thread). Also, how you install might differ a little from rom to rom, so only use my instructions as additional instructions to the instructions typically written in the first post for each rom/software.
Note! Everytime you go about fiddling with the phone you do run the risk of bricking it. However, the risk of hard bricking your phone is quite slim as long as you read up a bit before messing about. On top of that, if anything would happen, such as a bootloop or soft bricking, just keep it cool. It happens to all of us from time to time, and I'll bet you that the very same thing you did wrong, has happened to someone before you, so just search the threads (starting with the thread it relates to). If you feel like playing safe, I would suggest you start off with one of the more established ROM-devs, such as CM.
I hope this helps!

No worries! I know it can be difficult getting started
Well, it's different firmwares sometimes (eg different stocks). This is typically clearly pointed out in the instructions if that is the case. I have not encountered that where it comes to the custom ROMs, except for making sure you have the right model (eg D855). After you've installed a new ROM, you might want to go to settings --> about phone to check the information for any clues of using the wrong software.

Firmware upgrading advice please

I still get lots of use out of my SM-P600, but I'm hitting a bit of a problem with free space.
I use OneNote combined with the S-pen as my note-taking combo of choice and I have extensive notes. OneNote doesn't have the ability to save notebooks to the external SD card and I work offline a lot, so can't readily open/close notebooks from the cloud. The point is, I'm now struggling a bit for free space on the device.
My newest phone (Android 6.0.1) has the ability to 'integrate' external sd memory into the main device memory.
Is that a firmware feature, or is it hardware?
Would upgrading my P600's firmware give me this functionality and let me have a lot more space to play with?
If so, what ROM upgrade should I use?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, but a pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

If you are interested in rooting and installing Xposed framework, there is an Xposed module called XInternalSd that you can use.
That said, if you aren't familiar with the risks of root, xposed, flashing, etc, be sure to read up on it all a bit first.
Xda module thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2789267
Xposed module page: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

G'day John
Both Marshmallow & Nougat have the ability to integrate the sd as internal memory but you may need to install a custom ROM to achieve this. This will most likely involve you losing data. I'm a novice myself but so I am happy to lose data and reformat and start fresh, but there may be utilities to back up such things.
i recently installed Lineage OS myself but a host of issues so I then went the AOSP build and I am really happy with that, if you want to know how to do that I am happy to help.

Thanks kypreo,
I wasn't sure if it was a default feature or custom to certain suppliers, so that's good to know.
Also good to hear that some builds have issues and are, perhaps, to be avoided.
I've had a bit of a clear-out of some less-used apps, so the pressure's off a little. But I may well go down the AOSP route you suggest.

I went down that route and so far so good, sometimes its just dumb luck. To alleviate some file issues use an app called cc cleaner to ease off some system files to give you some breathing room. You can also move off app data on apps onto the SD card as well. just be aware once the apps update they go back to the internal storage sometimes so you will need to move them again.
Another reason as to why I went to a custom ROM.

Hi, sorry to hijack the thread. I have the 3g variant and have tried both Lineage 13 as well as 14.1 and experience random reboots, crashes and hanging. I am back to stock Touchwiz Lollipop 5.1.1 as of now but would be happy to try out AOSP rom. Can you please provide me with the link to download the rom?

If you are back with stock firmware you are already with an AOSP rom...

Hi mate
Sorry for the delay, please see links below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-android-source-project-19-11-2016-t3503423 (rom gapps)
https://gapps4android.wordpress.com/2016/03/20/gapps-package-comparison-which-to-choose/ ( a guide to select which gapps to use)
Be aware you need to root the original rom and install TWRP 3.0.0 aqnd above. Install the AOSP rom but do not reboot, install Gapps because if you reboot you lose TWRP and won't be able to install Gapps. I had to go to the original and do it from scratch.
Goodluck Soks
