Why would I want to go to Lollipop? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With lollipop clearly just around the corner for our devices, we need to decide if the update is worth it.
I'm normally keen to grab the latest, but running rooted Kit Kat gives me lots of flexibility and support. Going to Lollipop will mean a lot of incompatible mods (at the very least for several months) with no significant advantage I can see. As a photographer, raw capture is of interest, but I'm not convinced it will live up to expectations.
Where's everyone else at?

I'm with ya. Lollipop has been buggy on many devices. My nexus 7 was really laggy on lollipop.
I made sure I rooted before the ota update happened. I'll stay on KitKat until all the bugs have been worked out. KitKat still works great on this phone. There's no reason for me to update until lollipop is proven to be stable.

I've been running cm12 for the last week or so and I'm loving it, really stable and looks so pretty. The camera quality has gone down but I'm still taking amazing shots. Regarding mods xposed has already been ported to lollipop and is apparently working rather well. Raw camera shots will probably not happen sorry, no phones except the nexuses (5 onwards) have implemented the APIs and chances are Sony wont. Everything else is great, battery almost as good and no crashes at all. If you're comfortable with flashing ROMs try cm12 with a stock backup . Also this should have been posted in Q & A not general.

Nexus 4 doesn't handle RAWs.

Interesting. Does CM12 require unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

i don't see any big reason why i have to update asap. i'm 100% satisfied with 4.4.4. it's a very stable platform which is improved all the way from 4.0.
i guess i will jump to Lollipop later maybe after it's been released for 6 months or so.

Yup! Just make sure you backup your DRM keys and you can always revert back to locked bootloader with DRM fuctions in place. This is assuming you have a Bootloader Unlockable=yes Phone.

Kit Kat

Seeing Google owns Motorola what do you think the wait time would be for Kit Kat? Seeing the X has yet to see 4.3 I have a sinking feeling it might be awhile.
There are phones that have been out a lot longer that don't have 4.3... And 4.3 is in the testing stages... Be patient it has only been 2 months... They're still doing bug fixes... And with 4.4 right around the corner they may or may not just move to that.
Motorola doesn't get special privileges for android. They get access when everyone else does.

Being that its very close to stock Android, however, should make the upgrades a little more seamless. Theres not much to change except the specific Android functions, which might be there anyways like the touchless stuff.

I'm with everyone else on this. Could be a while, especially if you're on VZW. Hoping the developer community kicks into high gear here pretty soon and we start seeing 4.3 ROM's well before it is an official OTA. Same for Kit Kat.
My question is: is there really a need for the update? Granted, I do want wish to install some apps that only work only with 4.3. But they are not that necessary.
With the leaks about 4.4, printing and payment option, seriously, do you really need those things?

Don't forget a lot of the updates are also under the hood optimizations that make the phone run better. Also there are some UI changes. I personally like what I saw from the leaked images today. I'm sick of the cyan blue throughout. I will like the white status bar icons much more. Good for you for being content lol. Personally I want 4.4 now even though having the vzw moto x I will probably never see it as an official ota

At least 4.4 will apparently already come with a transparent nav bar; There's one to scratch off the to-do list for Motorola

I've learned my lesson with non nexus phones lol. Don't expect any timely updates. I'm just gonna pick up a Nexus 5 to mess with the newest software and development. Even if development finally picks up with this phone the only good Roms (at least for me) will be the Roms based off stock and that means I'll have to wait until an official 4.4. So to curb my need for rooting and flashing I'll just use a nexus lol.

They are pushing more and more system stuff into the Play Store, and the Moto X is about as well optimized for that as can be, so at least we have that. As much as I love the AOSP I'd be happy if Googlrola pushed everything but the kernel into play services, at least for their phones.
This phone is breaking my crackflashing habit, which is probably good for me, my career, and my family.

I have a feeling that once developers start writing more roms for the Moto X, we'll get in a nice groove in terms of latest versions of Android. Whether or not it's stock-based, PA, CM, or OmniRom remains to be seen though

The only I know is that in the Nexus 7 (2012) KitKat has a lot of bugs if you compare with 4.3, 4.3 on XV works very good, I wont complain if 4.4 never comes, im really happy with everything on this phone and the last I want is these bugs also in my phone...
But if 4.4 finally arrives and bugfree well, I think at least Sony will enhance the experience with added capabilities

You are far off with that comment...
The investigation part, is only to look at the hardware and find out if every needed drivers are available...
Then, when all drivers are available, the ONLY thing that is needed is for the company CEO to make the decision to actually build the Rom for the unit...
And then after that, all the "investigation" is done...
Then only building the Rom remains, but that part is not "investigation" at all, because at this point all possibly opsticals (drivers and so on) are clear and solved !
If you was right then ALL Sony phones, including the Z1 should have been labeled "under investigation" until the release day of KitKat...?
Sent from my HTC One dual sim using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Unlike you I have no access to Sony's internal procedure manuals for firmware development, so I'm speaking based on what my company (Panasonic) does when it considers firmware upgrades for handsets. For us, investigation phase means getting a generic build with certain customisations to run on target hardware.
Actual development phase involves optimisations and debugging.
its looks like good

Indeed it's probably too unlikely fr Sony to release 4.4 for V, but sometimes miracles do happen. Who knows.
Don't count it out. It said the same thing for ZR while the Z and Z Ultra had their 4.4 confirmed. It was only recently they confirmed ZR.

Hey, bro, U r too optimistic:victory::victory::victory:
A bit disappointing. XV was, back in the day, heavily compared side by side to its months older competitor, Galaxy S3, yet that exact competitor now recieve Kitkat upgrade and XV will (highly likely) be left in the dark.

[Q] 5L for RAZR-I. Why not?

Are any restrictions for 5L in Razr-I ?
No restrictions on the hardware side. Go forward and do it.
A more serious problem is the missing manpower, to solve some problems because the source is not complete (cf. here).
I am always wondering why people think that it is self evident that someone will make perfect custom rom if the hardware allows it (kudos to them who do).

Thanks a lot for your answer! Until we are wondering we are living. The number of RAZR-I owner who are interesting in L5 is more then who are interesting in proper work of 4.4. beta (acc to threads list ) It is a magic our hardware allowance, isn't it?
If they are really keen on doing it, i'm sure they can. But at this point I just don't think it's worth it. Considering it is a 2 years old device. The more popular S3 didn't even get 4.4 and is stuck at 4.3, and that is around the same age as the RAZR i. They announced the 4.4.2 for RAZR i a long time back, and till now it is not out yet, which shows how little resources are being dedicated to bringing more updates to the RAZR i. I'm pretty sure 4.4.2 update when it does roll out will be the last update for the device.
I would be happy with a 4.4.2 with as little bugs as possible.
there's no hope, i remember in somehow that i read, this is the last upgrade to Ri, there's no more future plans to update this device...
but don't worry, maybe we can port 5L to Ri...
..."maybe"
The phone simply does not Cut it Performance wise. All those Animations...

Lollipop Update Rumored November/ December

Check out this article on SamMobile!
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/09/18/samsung-galaxy-s5-and-galaxy-note-4-might-get-android-l-in-novemberdecember/
This is with out doubt wishful thinking for us AT&T customers.
Knowing AT&T though I would say February 2015...
Actually, Lollipop is proving harder to crack for root access than our phones very own bootloader. I hate to say this but rooted users may be behind stock for the first time ever in just a few short months.
As long as I still have root, I'll be OK staying on KitKat. I'm not going to assume Lollipop will be rooted until it happens. They're making these phones and operating systems harder and harder to root, until one day there will only be development phones which will have root.

If this was the mindset of of programmers and hackers there would never be a rooted phone. It doesn't matter how hard android tries to stop it there will always be a way found to get around it plain and simple. It's why the security industry is making billions every year. There is not a single device on the planet that is fully capable of being 100% secure. And there never will be a device made like this as long as humans continue to make the devices. Artificial Intelligence may be able to do it one day.
Exclusive video: final Lollipop firmware on the S5!
Looks nice to me! I hope Samsung can update the status bar icons a bit like stock Google. . I hate that out of place Wi-Fi icon.. The Nexus style looks awesome.

I don't disagree with you, but users are starting to steer clear of devices that are difficult to root. Just look at the at&t note 4. Not even a hint of root and very little developer interest. People would rather just get the t-mobile version. Samsung and at&t seem to be a bad combination for people who want to root and ROM moving forward. Unless we get a developer edition like Verizon.

I'm honestly looking forward to getting rid of my S5. It's a nice phone, but I love the pure google feel like my Nexus 7 has. I'll be upgrading to a Nexus 6 soon. The touchwiz is just ugly, and I certainly don't want a bloated unrootable version of lollipop. The development for this phone is dead, no updates for months now. I'm a flashaholic so I'm absolutely bored out of my mind. If it wasn't for the messed up proximity sensor on the S4 I have I'd probably be using that and flashing like crazy.
When I spoke to an AT&T rep yesterday, they were saying that AT&T has Lollipop and they are modifying it for our devices, with a tentative release date of Feb 2015...
We'll see how much that holds water.
I would be shocked if Lollipop could push anything that'd make me risk giving up just a rooted KK.

I completely agree with your statement. Honestly, I really am considering selling my S5 and getting something else.
I am honestly thinking about jumping ship from at&t all together and going to t-mobile as they don't have bootloaders locked down on their devices yet, plus I think their data plans and what not are better than at&t's current plans. The only issue I have with t-mobile is they don't have quite the selection of Android devices available that at&t does.

This place is dead. Generic S6 forum is not much better. We have root, but nobody is doing anything with it.
Yeah.. it's seriously making me think of switching devices. I'm used to many custom roms, unlocked bootloaders, xposed, etc.. and this isn't cutting it for me. Sure, great device but.. I'm just not feeling it.
What is it you are wanting? We have cleanrom and a few other debated options and an available framework to let you customize the crazy outta your touchwiz. As far as AOSP or CM, give it time. It's a new device, a lot of hands are on it and after some time, more options will be available. When I bought my G2 on release day, it was a month before root and another before good rom options showed up and even longer before stable rom options we're brought to the table.

I don't understand why people buy a phone like this an expect a ton of development on it. Everyone knows AT&T locks bootloaders so there will be no AOSP ROMS for this device, especially with it packing an exynos processor. The root exploit has been patched in 5.1.1 so don't expect root unless you plan on tripping KNOX or never upgrading again. People really need to do research before they go out and buy a phone. If you need that much development, buy a nexus.

Exactly. I knew this going into getting another ATT phone (Active). It was either getting a phone I knew would work out of the box or getting a toaster oven with an 810 SOC. HTC and LG both failed this year IMHO and OPO2 will also be throttling back the 810 2.1 SOC. I wanted the active because of the bigger battery, but if those wanted ROMs on a S6 they should have just bought an international model outright.
I bought this phone expecting no development. The fact there's even root and roms for it is more than enough for me.

I went from a Nexus 5 (chronic flasher) to a no root Note 4 (now obviously s6) and I discovered that not having root or a million roms to flash caused almost zero issues. Having root and debloated roms on the s6 makes me completely happy. I just flashed XtraStoLite and it's awesome, even more customization and you choose only Samsung apps you want.
I haven't even rooted yet. Works fine for me. First phone I didn't root right away.

Probably the built in themer.
For everyone: when you buy a phone with a locked bootloader, you buy a phone that will have very limited development support (if a hack is found all the better, but don't count on one being found, they ain't easy to find). If you buy a Lamborghini are you going to complain you can't put the turbo you saw on your friends Mazda on it?

Alliance Framework and soon 3minit. You just need to flash a deodex ROM and to top it off, we are now seeing that you can flash roms from the international thread. I will attempt this myself 4th of July weekend and post videos on my channel if successful.
Honestly I think it's quickly getting to the point where rooting will be an afterthought. I rooted my S6 Edge and flashed back to stock within a week.

It's not hard, most are just an Aroma installer. I'm running one and it works great. The only weird thing was the Aroma installer screen flashes while you're selecting options you want to add/remove. I have an ATT S6 as well.

So I can Flash the deodexed ROM linked earlier with Flashfire then add the alliance framework with flashfire too? Still Kinda new to this(Had the s4 rooted and never flashed anything till after getting the s5 which was rooted with a custom ROM) and it seems like its a different method every phone. Im trying to read up on the different threads but dont have much time usually. Need to take a day and figure it out. Thanks for the help.
I'm not asking for cm or aosp (neither appeal to me), and neither do i want some shoddy kludged together community rom.
What I'd like is to see something like Xposed,,which works without issue on a completely stock+root install.
I've been doing this since the G1 days, and i just dont have the time or patience for it anymore. I have a hobby that to me, is far more satisfying and fun than jacking around with phones.
All i really want is to remove the volume warning and the redundant wifi notification.

Xposed is in alpha or pre alpha for TW devices. So it is in the works, just a ton of bugs and the install is pretty in depth at the moment.
Don't know about the volume warning, but the WiFi notification is easy if rooted. Get the CSC editor and search for WiFi. Blank this value and reboot.

I have up on roms (TW or AOSP/CM) based a long time ago due to glitches and bugs. The last thing I ever did with root was adaway but now many all developers and websites are getting content past adaway and ABP, so no point there even.
I had a problem with my Tab S not taking the lollipop update after rooting then un-rooting which kind of soured me it in general. I got it flashed back to stock at bestbuy and updated, but settings menu still shows status as Custom even though download mode shows Knox 0x0
