Is there a small rom without gapps for the Z3C? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not a fan of Google, don't mind side loading and I really don't want them in my phone. Any chance there's a solid rom without gapps, ideally with a working camera.
Thanks for any help or suggestion!

Somebody, anybody, everybody please!!! Seriously, anything simple and easy?

Yes there is, LineageOS. Look in the original android development section

Thanks for the response. I did, downloaded it just in case and from what I see it would be perfect but I only talk via bluetooth and from my last scan of the entire thread the BT isn't functional yet.

Smooth with MHL or HDMI?

Hi!
I've been running CM10 and Paranoid for a while and I find that I don't like the choppyness. So i switched back to CM9 for a silk smooth GUI.
As it turns out, CM9 or 10 won't work with MHL or HDMI, so switched to Team Alliance (Touchwiz).
Team Alliance is still too choppy for me.
What rom has MHL or HDMI support?
Mod Edit: I edited OP to take out Best ROM and make your question more direct. Only had to delete one line and reword the title. Only way this will stay open my friend.

If you know these threads aren't appreciated, why would you create it? Tired of reflashing?....sell your Note and buy an Iphone. Problem solved.

Such threads are not allowed. Reported.
True Story. "Best ROM" threads are almost always closed on sight. In this case, I am going to edit your OP to reflect your real question about MHL and HDMI and take out the Best ROM-iness.
Choppiness is mostly User issues and can generally be cleared up with some troubleshooting like OC/UV, HW overlays,....
Thread stays open for the time being but if it gets back to Best ROM, then it gets the axe. Cool?

Well, I've been on xda for about five years. Enough to know that if I stay out of the loop for a month, almost everything changes. I do not have the time to check out everything and look for specific features, i just want my phone to work.

As i understand the choppiness is due to some driver issue with JB?

Any stock touchwizz (based) rom will have MHL support.

[Q] Stable ROM for everyday use (cam+sound+vid.accel.+wi-fi(+bluetooth))

Hello
because my Touchpad, running CM9, got slower and slower I decided to clean it and put an Update on it.
I need a stable (as possible) ROM with working camera, wi-fi, sound and video acceleration. Bluetooth would be nice but not necessary.
I don't need new apps from newer versions, etc.
It's a 32 GB Version.
Which ROM would you suggest me and where to get it+gapps?
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards
Cosy
The I would suggest that you view the development thread where you will see the different roms for this device and links to gapps or whatever else you may need will be available in the Opening Post what people want or need is down to the user. There you will be able to read individual comments about what does or doesn't work and be able to make your own informed decision.
There are numerous development threads and I don't know which to read.
In addition I can't read a thread holding 250 pages of posts just to pick a ROM.
A little hint would be nice.

Here's a hint I'm using Milaq's KK Rom and you don't need to read 250 pages just the op and the last few or more if you feel like it.
But it comes down to you making an informed decision.

I would need the same, and I dont see a reason why you guys that tried all the roms could simple write down a version thats stable and functional, I dont care if its NAdroid 4.2, or 4.3. or 4.4, I just need a functional tablet that has a functional Skype, Netflix and wifi.
Is that a big problem to write, I dont have hours and hours of time to searc (which is useless) to figure out which rom. A small baby at home, work I have everyday, and really not spare time to waste on research.
I apologize in advance if someone gets ofended, but at the time when I was a kid I would spend hours messing online, now I dont have that anymore.
On topic - my biggest issue that the tablet is draining battery like crazy, and is totally glitchy, slows down, all though everything works, but slow and battery is ridiculous.

Well if you read my post which you have quoted you'll see that I did make a recommendation but if you you're after someone to wipe your bottom and put a cookie in your mouth it won't be me. It's the arrogance of people like yourself that makes me wonder why I or anybody else bothers to try and be helpful.
Have a nice weekend I know you've p***ed me of.

Camera issues

Good morning all, picked up this phone to test for my sons. I did root\debloat using the DirtyCow method. I wanted to use a better camera app so I installed the Google camera app which for me worked better. I uninstalled the native app. That broke ALL camera functions. Now no camera app works. Has anyone had this issue?

In a sort of kind of way.
In such that cm builds do not have a work in camera, and they do not have the stock app
Ooh can this be a breakthrough on the problem

This means that there are hooks between the camera and the OS that haven't been discovered yet. Earlier CM builds had this issue for other phones too. I'm not a developer but I know a little about code. I'll grab a Logcat to see if something jumps out at me.

I just tried to create same condition. By installing open camera and renaming myoscamera.apk to myoscamera.spk_
But the result was open camera still worked.
So what did you remove when you did it.?

It is not supposed to be an issue with the app being used, and rather the libs for the camera. But I will continue to try things out in this direction. Hopefully will find some hidden lib being called by the stock app and not by other apps.

I am far from expert, I don't notice a connection to camera with these logcat entries.
I assume you did not make copy / backup before removing stock camera.
I think this recovery package should restore your camera.
It is files from v17 and v8.3 stock, you never said what version you were on. I can put up version for whichever one you have, since these should only work on v17 and v8.3

Ok quick update: I did flash back to stock and the camera works fine now. I didn't remember how poor the camera quality is I still use some 8mp cameras but IMO this is bad.

Sadly you picked the wrong phone for learning development on, you need to choose another phone.
Blu has decided to lock this phone down, so future users won't even be able to root let alone flash custom firmware.
Even if Blu didn't the development is dead on this device anyway. This phone using Sony camera which no one has been able to get to work on custom ROMs.
One can port to another ROM provided that donor phone also uses Sony camera.
This is 100% the wrong phone to try and learn to develop on.
Best phones for beginners are Nexus and Samsung, simply cause more developer's have these phones, so they have the time to teach.
Phone with few developers are not meant for beginners to learn from, the less developers a device has the less time anyone has to teach.
As far as I know I am the only developer on my current device, it's a good phone, but I don't have to time to teach beginners, that's why I recommended Samsung or Nexus.

Actually, I have plenty of time to learn. The fact that this device has been difficult to work with is the challenge I want. I absolutely don't like Samsung and everybody works with Nexus. If I fail then so be it. At least I'll learn what not to do.

Good luck then, if you have one of the locked preloaders you will learn very soon what not to do.

Samsung screen mirroring

Hello everyone in the community, I hope that someone can help me with this. I am happily swapping out custom roms ( a big thank you to all the developers! ) with stock roms to test which rom suits me best (they're all fantastic and unique by the way :good: ) but the one feature I do notice that is missing is the "screen mirroring" option. I love that feature as I can screen my phone to my smart tv and virtually do anything without the need for a wi fi connection (something I don't have at the moment). Is there any way to install this also on custom roms?

I can't speak much to ROM-based mirroring. I found another solution entirely:
O's said:
I bought a ScreenBeam Mini2. It works great. Connects in seconds through stock Smart View on MagMaNX ROM 2.0.1. Only complaints: Weak range -- phone has to be right by the dongle. Also, phone screen has to stay on for video (but can turn off for music), so I always feel like I'm overworking the display (and it can be a bit distracting if the phone's in sight). But I'm satisfied with it. After all, it works.

Welcome. That's an old post, so I should update that I've had better experience with it as I used it more. Clean-flashed other Marshmallow/Oreo/Pie ROMs, and they all held signal even when I took the phone into the next room (with no walls). There might be a newer version now, and it looks like similar devices have popped up, too. But that one still works just about perfectly for me.

If you end up flashing it, let me know how it goes. You want to know a professional. Neobuddy. That man is pure genius and really, really nice if you get to chat him up.
Like I said. The moment official drops, I'm out and will no longer be part of the "scene". Until then I will provide updates when I have time. I work nights, so that should give you a good idea of my time schedule
I have updated the OP with more information.
First of all.. Thank you for your great work.
I have some question.
Warp charge works?
How about battery life?
Face unlock works?
No face unlock yet. Charging is fine. Battery life you'll have to determine for yourself

I forgot that I removed some stuff while I was doing my own private builds. Ill be uploading *at some point* a build with the fixes. You can simply reboot to recovery and flash.
Link updated to new build. Nothing huge, some fixes for stuff that others may use.
Can I dirit flash from this build when official builds release? Will official builds keep no encryption?

Dirty flash probably not. I know the maintainer very well. He will have encryption.
Honestly I am just trying to give everyone a stable, easy to flash build until official drops. I keep source up to date, I have made some of my kernel changes etc.. This is not my great return. I just thought it would be nice to have something stable and more inline (outside of being decrypted) to what Evox will drop. When official drops, I will fade back into the darkness from which I came.
Do you all want encryption? I don't care one way or another.
apophis9283 said:
Let me start this off by saying this would be a placeholder until official Evox hits. OOS camera works. Everything is great. For now it is NOT ENCRYPTED. You can use orange fox to set a pin in recovery and that way it makes it easier to flash. While still having some security. Comes with my kernel, which is being worked on and is a work in progress. So huge thanks to @Blaster4385. This is a courtesy. Arguing or demanding anything and I close the thread down. I ask that moderators watch this thread and if things get out of control immediately and without question, shut it down immediately. If moderators decide that their requirements have been met and shut down the thread, IT WILL NOT BE REOPENED!
Off topic chat will be tolerated for a few posts at most. Anything pertaining to the ROM/kernel is fine
You will need to clean flash. Bottom line.

I plan on dropping a build today. Its not a huge change log. I've had pneumonia and have been laid out for over week. I'm just waiting for the antibiotics to work. But I did bump the build fingerprint. Should't take me too long

Not sure. I have "more" stuff in device settings. I still have some work to do before I drop a build though
I have touchscreen gestures being built as well as the "extras" for slider unfortunately at this moment they aren't working. Ive exhausted all the times I have for tonight. It could be just a clean flash is required, I won't even be able to that route until I wake up tomorrow.
