Adoptable Storage (or alternative) - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there any was to enable Marshmallow adoptable storage on the Z3 Compact? I just updated and it doesn't seem to be enabled.
If not, is there any way I can install apps on the SD card? I don't currently have root, but if that's what it takes...
Thanks,
DF

But I think it'd be an easier route if you followed this guide to root an older firmware and then flashed a pre rooted MM build, rather then trying to change a stock MM and possibly having to unlock your bootloader.

Awesome - thanks for the info. I think I'll try the root method.

This rom is a good MM option, with active development.
Just don't be surprised it's not as amazing as you're expecting. MM hasn't been out long for the Z3c and there's still lots of bugs and problems to fix.
Sony will be releasing a patch soon to address some of those issues, you'd save a lot of headaches if you waited a couple more weeks.

I don't mind waiting a week or two. What's the best thing - wait for the rom you linked to be updated with the changes from Sony?

Wajk is a committed developer and already mentioned in the Slim thread that he will implement the new patch as soon as it's available. I would subscribe to the thread and wait for firmware 23.5.A.1.151 to be implemented.

I take it I just follow the guide you linked and use that rom for step 26:
-- Install latest firwmare with root, DRM keys, recovery --

Yes, when you reach that step (26), then just skip to the Slim rom.
Make sure you update the SuperSU once you have booted the rom

Perfect. Thanks for the help - I'm totally in uncharted territory here!

rooted Z1 with automatic system updates

Hey
I have C6903 with boot-loader unlock enabled (didn't touch it).
Currently I am running unrooted stock rom.
I want to root my device but I don't want (and don't have the time) to flash an updated rom each time android gets updated
long story short..
I want to get automatic system updates on rooted device without rerooting or reflushing my device.
In addition I would like to keep using some of sony's features (like stamina mode) but erase the rest.
thanks for the help!
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
It is not possible. All the System Updates will wipe your Root. To keep Root you will have to do it manually all the time when a Update will be available. Apps updates like Walkman ecc.. You will can update them Automatcally.

What is the closest solution to my request?
You send me your phone in the post so I can do it for you.
I mean, in all honesty, how busy do you have to be so that flashing a rom is too much trouble for you.
You could have it rooted and flashed in the time between your two posts in this thread

OK, yes, I can use titanium to backup and restore it all, but how can I figure out what is the most recommended rom dioxide stock or custom rom) for Z1?
I don't want to start trying them all..
My only request is satisfying buttery usage (I also like sony's dialer but I probably can install it on any rom).

In my Opinion when you will get a 4.3 or 4.4 Rooted and Deodexed Android and it satisfide your needs, then any Update is unecessary.
Stock is good.
Updates make huge changes and sometime they are not the right choice.
Like a new phone come on the market then is the same with Android.
You don't have to buy it.
Am I right?

[ROM] OctamodWear - Stock + root + busybox + Reboot2Recovery

CAUTION!! This ROM is mostly made for developers and people interested in developing for Samsung Gear Live. I take no responsabilities for possible damages to your device.
Hi everyone.
I open a new thread here in General because I have not enough posts for posting in Development, and I don't want to spam other threads only for posting there. Moderators can move this if they want.
We have here the first Custom ROM for Samsung Gear Live: OctamodWear
Currently we have very few new features, but this is only the beginning.
Features
- OctamodWear 0.2
- KMV78Y based
- Fully deodexed
- Root
- Busybox
- WearControl, the system management app. Reboot2Recovery is gone; install WearControl from PlayStore to ensure you always have the latest version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled
- OctamodWear 0.1
- KMV78X based
- Root
- Busybox
- Reboot2Recovery, it's an app made by me that let you reboot in recovery mode (interesting for use with custom recoveries).
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled (mainly, for developing purposes. I included them because it was a pain to install again with each data-wipe during tests).
Important
- Superuser permissions (root) are enabled by default, without Superuser or similar app. So, whatever app that you install and require root permissions will obtain them. That's due to the fact that there is no Superuser app for Android Wear yet.
- We need unlocked bootloader in order to be able to install the ROM (fastboot oem unlock).
- This system (Android Wear) is still very recent, and there are many things we don't know, despite its similarities with Android.
Work-in-progress...
- Get a better battery consumption.
- Improve performance
- Other things I have not thought about yet
Installation
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, follow this steps:
- Connect using ADB and run "adb reboot bootloader"
- In the bootloader screen, run "fastboot oem unlock". Warning!! This will wipe the device.
- Once you have unlocked the bootloader, the next step is to flash the provided system.img, using "fastboot flash system system_octamodWear.img"
- Done!

Original thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=868149
I will try to help you if you need it, but please, there are a lot of pages on the web where you can get information about ADB drivers or bootloader unlocking effects, so please, use Google.
Furthermore, I don't have much free time due to work and personal life, so this ROM will not have a very fast development. My main purpose is to give people something they can start working with, and make a great development community.
Enjoy it!
You sir are a genius!
I borked my phone installing TWRP and flashing this ROM was the only way I fix my watch! Thank you!

It is pre rooted as stated above. And yes its very good. Includes a file manager, which is handy....
Dev, presumably we should not install any OTA's?
This is the best day EVER!! Thank you so very much!!
Hey @octathorp I just received an update a couple days ago and did it... I assume the update would not be compatible with this ROM, or can I still install this ROM? Thanks!
Update is KMV78Y by the way.
Hi.
I have not received the update yet, so i don't really know. It should work well, because this is only system.img, but i'm gonna update the base rom as soon as I receive the update.
One thing i forgot to post some days ago... I've made an app that lets you reboot your device into recovery or bootloader, as well as changing CPU governors. It's Reboot2Recovery replacement, and it will be included in next release. Meanwhile, you can get the app from Play Store, searching "WearControl" (sorry i cannot post links yet).
I'll update the OP.

Return to Stock?
What would be the best way to return to stock? My guess would be to flash the system img that Adam Outler posted but want to make sure that I'm correct. I got excited and flashed this without backing up on TWRP first.
Hey is it possible to put the ROM in flashable form for TWRP?! Would make it much easier to install

That's a good idea I will try in next days, but only as a concept. If it works well, i will try to launch next update through a flashable update.zip

Awesome man! I know you said in OP that you are very busy and stuff, would be appreciated though if you got the flashable working, then I can flash stuff on the watch like I do on my phone, so easy.... instead of having to go thru ADB!
I've installed the rom but I don't see any of the included applications listed in the launcher I'm using them.
I can access them though using start tho. Anyone know how to get them into the launcher?

Battery life should be the same as stock, as there are no power optimizations yet, but you could try WearControl with powersave mode instead.

FAQ:
Will this fix my <non molly device>?
No, this rom is only for mollys, it will brick any other device.
Will OTAs work after flashing this?
Yes, that is the purpose of this
Do I need to be on a certain bootloader to use this?
No, it includes the original bootloader.
Do I need a custom recovery to flash this?
Yes, the stock recovery will not accept update zips that are not signed by google
Is this rooted?
No, the stock rom is not rooted, neither is this
My device won't finish booting after flashing.
If you were not originally on the same rom, you may need to do a factory reset to finish the process. Android does not like rom downgrades without a factory reset

Yes you need a usb keyboard to use CWM currently, there may be an update in the future to enable the dev button on the back to select in cwm like it does in fastboot. Until if/when that happens you either need a keyboard or to do everything manually via adb.
I don't have a keyboard however, I did all my work/testing with only adb.

@TheManii Are there any custom roms or anything like that for the ADT-1? I just got one in the mail from I assume google. I'm ready to begin , but I don't honestly know what people are interested in seeing on this device I have a madcatz mojo using all the adt-1 binaries except audio running cm-12 and android tv from this device. So if anyone is interested in that let me know please.

Hello UD,
There isn't any custom roms for the ADT-1 (So yours would be the first)
I for one would love to see a more recent build than the last OTA (LPX13D - OCT 29th) There have been rumors that we'd get the final Android Lollipop but nothing has surfaced.
How much work is involved in rolling an AOSP+ADT-1 Binaries+Android TV dependencies?
Cheers Rob.

It's possible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og-GDeRhJno but I could not get all the apps correctly working the main one being playstore , but I will try again look at the android build number and build date. I basically made a google apps package based on the adt-1 this is before I had one so possibly now I can get us an aosp 5.0.2 base working the Mojo in terms of hardware is similar to the adt-1 and for me to boot 5.0 on the mojo I needed adt-1 updated tegra 4 binaries so this shouldn't be hard at all once I work out the playstore issues.

[5.0.2][D6708][ZIP] Sony Xperia Z3v Prerooted Lollipop Firmware 23.1.D.0.509

Hello all, I've come to bring you news that I have the latest Lollipop firmware for the Xperia Z3v with Verizon. From my understanding, it seems a couple of people are having trouble prerooting their downloaded firmware and are encountering trouble with it. I grabbed my FTF from Xperifirm and followed the instructions on my guide as it went to get it all together hassle-free.
Without further ado, here it is: https://mega.nz/#!24swjQgQ!7o4tB05IEqNEC88UwE5cbESG_8hQFi7YVHZazz8h8iQ
NOTE: I have also attached to the zip brighter flashlight since stock one is terrible.
PLEASE HIT THANKS BELOW IF I'VE HELPED SAVED YOU THE ANNOYING PROCESS!
Yeah, can't wait to try it
Thanks for the file! Can't wait to use it. Any noticeable changes between .485 and .509?

Hey so I just debloted this and I deleted 87 apps and 570 mb space..
And my phone works 100%. I could delete more maybe 10 to 15 max it just depends on what your needs/uses for the phone are. Thanks again. Some food for thought You can get the project desire 4.0 sound mod for z2 z3 it works awesome. (take a back up just in case) The z4 bootanimation is better and smoother than ours. Xposed modules= -no device check- - xblast tools- -native freezer- -xinternalsd- -xperiafmwohs- -Xperia xposed LP - all of these are worth your time enjoy.

All I've really noticed is a boost in performance. Also, I believe I was getting around 5 hrs of SOT with .485 and now I'm getting around 5:30, but I haven't gone through enough battery cycles to make any definitive conclusions. Only thing you have to worry about is the fact that 509 is a lot zippier and feels a lot lighter than .485

If someone can find me the z3 5.1.1 update it's only 2.93mb if you have 5.0.2 for the z3. not the whole ftf cause that obviously would not work. this might be need for root though.

I might suggest going with the Z2 compatible version since the Z3v is basically the same as the Z2 in terms of physical design and they both run under the same production name Sirius.

Dude I was going to do this to get the stagefright exploit patched but it's already patched on 509 check for yourself and I checked my build prop and all my stagefright media is on true.- not vulnerable- so I have to say I'm very happy and if verizon ever pushes the ota we will have advanced calling. (Edit) I belive this 509 firmware may actually be 5.1.1 even though it says it's 5.0.2- this could be possible since when I looked up firmware 485 it had 66xx so... -because my stagefright exploit is fixed and I can't activate advanced calling - meaning I can get into the menu but not to the verizon part- 5.1.1 integrates advanced calling so.. This may be 5.1.1 (edit)- it's not - its 5.0.2 with stagefright patch and some ui updates over 5.0.2 -485 firmware

Yea but verizons way why on 5.0.2 and not 5.1.1 the media librarys are completely different.
I am on build 23.0.E.1.44 - do I need to change that to flash this FTF?

You can only flash this through a custom recovery. The actual ftf is elsewhere. While I'm here, if you want root you must get it on KitKat then flash this zip to maintain root. If you don't need root find the ftf and flash through flashtool. You can not get root once on lollipop, other then downgrading back to KitKat.

So, if I understand correctly, after I've obtained root with KitKat, I then flash the zip provided in this thread using a custom recovery such as TWRP, and then I will have a rooted lollipop device?

Are you guys wiping anything prior to flashing the rooted .zip? or just dirty flashing without a wipe?

I flashed dirty kept all my apps and data- my phone is working great. But you may want to go clean to avoid problems
The only issue I've run into is WiFi not staying on through a reboot, neither soft nor full. Only device I have on 5.x.x that does so
Has anyone else gotten a "system uids inconsistent" error? I keep getting that error and a force close on Google music (continuously) even after a full wipe. Any ideas?

[ROM][STOCK][TWRP][v9.5.10]Tissot Stock Oreo 8.0 Rooted/8.1 Leak

Code:
Warning! any damage done to your device is not my fault, use at your own risk!
Hi everyone, after seeing a lack of TWRP flash-able roms I decided to upload this, it is the latest stock rom of the Xiaomi A1, pre-rooted (although I attached stock kernel if you rather go root free)
Instructions:
First of all have at least 30% power on your device to avoid any power down during flash and possible bricking
1. In TWRP select zip and flash, please note that this will flash both A/B partitions (but not userdata partition)
2. After done, reboot
What's the use of this ZIP? if your like me and not always next to your PC to flash fastboot roms or if you want to return to stock or downgrade etc, you can do it using this.

Hey, thanks so much for this.
What's the recovery you suggest to use for this? The latest ones that I know of can't mount internal storage and data.
Any thoughts?

This works great
Use this to boot TWRP (fastboot boot [twrp_Image.img]):
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013069602
then flash this from external SD
http://www.mediafire.com/file/338o7cl72z52rzz/twrp-3.2.1-1-installer-tissot-FIXED_By_DroiDMester.zip
After that internal/external will mount fine, the key is having it flashed, otherwise they don't mount if booted
Do we need to do a clean install or we can make a dirty install?

Exactly
@sooti many thanks mate, this sounds really good. must try it. could you make one day (when you have looooot of free time) a deodexed version of this. I have tried that many times, but never got a working one.. my intention was to make an deodexed and google free version. but I suppose, I am to unexperienced.
thx!

Nah, i don't see the benefit of deodex plus the time it will take is just not worth it... i just wanted to share the stock solution since i got sick of flashing through fastboot/miflash or restoring using twrp... this is much faster and better

OK, no problem. Then I must work furthermore with Xposed Framework and FakeGapps and more.
But you're fully right: this flashing procedures via fastboot are annoying and making tired.
Cheers!
Thank you Sooti for this.
Exellent work.

If u planning to do some editing then not needed. Because the 8.0 Oreo in A1 is already deodexed for editing purpose. U don't need to deodex it for EDITING PURPOSE.

Really? The N builds were odexed. Then I must be able to flash the NanoMod and the NanoMod Patcher if it's deodexed.
Thx, mate nice tip

Thanks @@sooti for this ROM. I flashed it with TWRP and so far everything works great.
I have a question. After flash I directly flash stock boot.img, after boot to system and let everything settle down I boot back to recovery and it is now the stock recovery. Does this mean if there's OTA in future I can apply it?
