Z3 and Layers/Substratum - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why does the Z3 not work properly with the Layers/Substratum. Didn't Sony actually create the code in the first place and then Google included the code at base level from MM onwards? The themes i've installed look awesome but my phone crashes every time I try to make a phone call and randomly reboots.
I'm running ExistenZ 5.1.0 (MM 6.0.1), Rooted, UB. D6603.
Is there device specific themes for layers etc?
Thanks

Thread moved to Q&A please only post questions in the Q&A sections please
Thanks

Tested a few more popular and quality looking black themes without success. I'm only really interested in black so won't try much else.
Noticed instagram crashes when updated on Black Material. Another app with a small pop up crashes on Material Glass. Need to be aware these types of crashes are going to occur on themes. Worth it for the look though!

BOOTING ! XPERIA Z5 Lollipop 5.1.1 Rom - Porting need help

EDIT : PROJECT DELAYED
Trying to port a custom Xperia Z1 Rom to Nexus 5.
This custom Rom has all features from Xperia Z5.
Here is base rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3224245
Edit : Advanced, see logcat
Edit 2 : fixed mediadrm fatal crash. Now, i need to fix SDCARD
Edit 3 : seems i need to fix sound
Edit 4 : Booting, as logcat says. The problem is : Google Logo stays displayed. Bootanimation doesnt displays and so, it seems it prevents phone from displaying Setup Wizard, and Android UI. Maybe the problem is "libsecureui.so" dlopen failed. I still didnt found the solution and any help would be greatly apreciated.
Heres logcat
Thanks for any help
Getting advanced a little. Now, getting an issue with sdcard. See OP
You should try removing all links to sdcard and just make it internal only, Nexus 5 don't have externalsd
Also, you'll better off porting z5 stuff to a cm12.1 base, its easier.
The official sony roms have a lot of proprietary kernel stuff that can't be ported, stamina mode is one
besides, camera wouldn't work
Do try first tho

I see, man, thanks !
I did "ro.build.characteristics=nosdcard" into build.prop. tried some other stuff and got as far as here : http://pastebin.com/bmHJQ0ke
I tried Cm12.1 and got so much other issues and inarborded cm12.1 to use UntouchedAOSP as base now.
Maybe I need to port Xperia kernel too, as Xperia z1 has kinda same hardware as Nexus 5, and that's the reason I used a custom Xperia z1 ROM

I mean making a entirely new rom using cm12.1 as a base and just port sony's launcher, systemui, lockscreen. etc
Reading the logcat, it said unknown permission for nearly all jars/apks. did you break the signature or something?
Sorry i cannot help much, its been years since i last ported a entirely new rom to a different device

I see. I don't know at all why theses permissions are fcked up. No problem man. Lollipop seems way more tricky to port. Maybe because Apk/jar are odexed

[DEV DISCUSSION] Let's get camera working on AOSP

Hi guys,
as @jerpelea recently posted it is possible for us to get the camera working.
(
all needed parts are open source and comunity can try to enable camera
br
J
)
As much as I know we have to enable it in the kernel source. I've already took a look into the one on official Sony Github(because their code is updated more often then Free Xperia ones) and found already a few interesting things that I'll Post the next days.
Maybe if a few of us work together we'll get it to work on our device
Sent from my Xperia E3 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok, most of the interesting stuff is in drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/sensor (remember to select the correct branch). As much as I know our camera sensor is a s5k5e2 which many devices use as front camera.

on fxpblog theres new version of 5.1 151203 soo it came out 28 days before have you tried flashing it? @edit:
and yes theres clearly a file for our xperia e3 s5k5e2.c and reference added to Kconfig and Makefile soo if someone build marshmallow or lollipop on that new files with addition of making sure he checked enabling that driver there should be everything good
-flashed it- nah... it has that deep sleep bug and no camera working but i think if someone manages to build rom now and consider enabling camera in kernel it should work (if we're not missing anything.)
Which kernel branch does sony use for various releases?
How about progress? Is the camera working on AOSP now?

No. The problem is, noone except sony devs know how to implement the camera.
But things are moving: our overloard Jerpelea is working furiously on Lollipop and Marshmallow for all open devices, hopefully our E3 as well. Unfortunately no camera commits yet. Check out activity here: https://github.com/jerpelea?tab=activity
I totally support this, but since I have no experience with kernels I can be only tester.
Here is what jerpelea wrote, over at the sony open devices forum:

They are getting closer, but not quite there yet:
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/commit/73f6de21d154a14d3733a3625c14aa20f0cf2c6b
If they forget about E3, because they don't have the hardware, I will start to cry :'(
Any update?
Nope still nothing regarding the camera implementation. They're still working on flamingo in general, but nothing related to the camera yet. I guess we'll have to keep coping with Sony's firmware. Let's just wait and see.
Hello, someone has tested the build 16 / 04 / 11?
Is know if some day will operate the camera?
pls get camera working ((
pls get camera working ((
On Xperia M2 now it works. I think the problem is in new bootloader. Could we port Marshmallow kernel to make it boot with old bootloader?
---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------
Xperia M, which is not an open device, has alpha Android N working with camera.
As far as I know, problem is in kernel. You must enable camera there to make it works, but no one is willing to do it and I have no expirience in that part.

Ok, it was only a theory becouse the camera only works on cm11 and stock, which use old bootloader.
In Jerpelea unified kernel our cameras' code is written.
But a dependency from driver is not enabled in flamingo's config, can it be the problem? I am trying to change that and recompile kernel to see if finally it works :laugh:.

You can always ask some senior devs for other phones. I am sure they will help you.
Nice. I wasn't looking in code, but keep us updated. Even if we must to restart phone every time to use camera. Thanks man.

Thanks for replying mate and yea i did exactly what you said the rom is so smooth and really fast and the kernel is brilliant, but sometimes my phone just freeze when i use it and i had to remove the battery every time and put it back, it freezed twice so far, is that a bug or what?

yea probably but really still laggy when playing games, i think RepeXpersiS Z2 or Z3 based on cm11 is the best choice with ZD kernel, smooth especially when playing games but in RepeXpersiS Z3 there's lockscreen problem that when you lock your phone and unlock it right away it needs like 7-12 sec to appear, i switched my profile to performance but that problem still there!!!?

Yeah nothing is perfect, right? Im on stock right now, after trying many roms and I actually find it smooth and almost perfect for our device. Now Im just waiting for cm13 official and Stryflex MM. If I install a Lollipop rom, I choose only official cm12.1 or Stryflex.

First you should install cm11 (it's should be compatible with the version of RepeXpersiS Z2)
For example if you have FXP331 CM11 just flash it and start it normally then go to recovery again and flash the RepeXpersiS which is compatible with FXP331 cm11
i really wanted to install RepeXpersiS Z3 which required FXP347 CM11 but i really didn't find any link to download

EDIT: successfully installed z3 edition with cm 11 20150301. Try it bro!!! This rom is so smooooooooth. Remember :get cm11 from FXP page and Use gapp provided by CyanogenMod on there wiki. I used another gapp and rom freezes. So smooooooooth

I didnt install zd. But I bet it would give a better performance. After install cm11 and gapp you boot and do the set up at the start. Go recovery again qnd flash z3 edition. The boot after it shows you the lockscreen, just swipe up to unlock and do sony set up guide. It might be a bit laggy at first boot

Im not on that rom anymore. It's good but my phone reboot automatically 4 or 5 time yesterday. So I tried cm11 and Im satisfy with it. Although this annoying bug is still here: turn screen off and turn it back on right after that, it take sometime to turn on. It is so ANNOYING

Ok. Installing after my backup finishes. I'll let you know in 24 hrs how it's looking.
Here's my update after 1 full day of use. At first it started acting funky but after settling in, it's running pretty damn good. Everything seems to work fine. No apps crashing and experiencing no lag. I'm using the latest stable Lamda Kernel where my battery life is superb.
Update: One bug I'm finding. I can't get weather provider services to work even though I have two weather apps installed.

Sony Xperia InCall UI ??

So I moved from Xperia Z3C to Nexus 5 and now I`m happy with 7.1.1 Mokee on N5. And one thing I`m missing is InCall UI from my Xperia. Is it anyway to get InCall UI of Xperia on my N5??
P.S- I tried putting PhoneBook.apk (found at apkmirror) put system/app, and it`s not working at all. Always showing force close.

But I am not familiar with these stuffs. I hope somebody could make it for our N5.
The Sony UI probably needs the Sony framework to work which the N5 doesn't have.
Only way to get it may be to flash a XOSP ROM.

But the above guide is for AOSP and CM based rom. So, dun need Sony framework.( I think so ).
It's as close as we'll get on the N5. It's a replication of the Xperia interface but much more than just theming.

Did you flash the latest TWRP? Tried a full wipe of the system, data, cache?
Edit: I just flash the latest XOSP and XGapps onto my N5 with no problems using TWRP 3.03. ROM's dialler looks like a stock Google dialler.

I am ok with XOSP rom. The only thing I want is Sony Dialer and Sony InCallUI
Not sure how you could get the Sony dialler without the Sony framework.
I used to have a Sony phone and I wasn't that impressed with the Sony launcher. I much prefer a very simple interface.
