There is so minimal development on Z1c forum here.. Its been almost one month since I have bought this phone. Previously I had SP and its forums are packed with developers even in the start of its days. There is only one Custom Rom available on z1c which also hasnt been updated for a long time now.. How to encourage people and developers to develop for this device.. ?

One month or two is a long time.. :S hope you can push your schedule a little..
Myself5 just said that he is going to publish Z3C multirom soon
Myself5 said:
It appears like I fixed MultiROM (at least on the Z3 Compact) yesterday (both, graphics and booting secondary Roms with a different boot.img). Going to do some more tests with it today and then publish it for Z3C followed by pushing an updated Version for Z2 and Z3. Sorry for letting you guys wait that long.

You might want to send a massive “THANK YOU MAN YOU ROCK" to @Panic Brothers. He donated a Xperia Z3 Compact to me and made the development for Z3C for me possible. BTW, be prepared for OmniROM, CarbonROM and M5 Kernel too

CarbonROM! I've been using that for my second phone (S4 mini) for more than one year, best rom ever!
Thanks man, an (imaginary) tear of joy just run down my cheeks.

do you mean we can expect some more development for our z3c? that's wonderful news! :good: wish you best luck!
ps. I assume they will all be based on aosp/cm12 code by fxp so we should expect at least exact same bugs present there right?
@Panic Brothers THANK YOU MAN YOU ROCK

Well, just as I thought. I have some hope on developers here, but considering how little work has been done with AOSP and CM I can't expect too much
ridiculous they were teased with devolved Android n

Personaly I would go with OP3 or nexus devices. Good specs and developer friendly.
I like OP3 and Xiaomi mi5 but I would miss the SD card... I would consider Huawei P9 or LG G5, but these have poor developer support. Any alternative?

I have hope for the community, we'll make it through with better sources and faster updates than what Sony had to offer us. Hopefully official Cyanogenmod comes our way.

I would have hope if it wasn't for the fact that we don't have an official CM13 yet. All the builds of the CM12.1 are even nightlies and don't offer the audio and camera quality that Stock has. Let's be real, Sony sucks at open sourcing and the community can't do magic
Sure it sucks, but why is anyone surprised? The Z3 launched September of 2014, almost two years ago.
You really can't blame Sony, two years is pretty standard for updates. Even Google only gives two years of guaranteed updates for the Nexus line.
iirc the concept developers are trying to release the kernel sources, which would allow the devs on xda to build better roms.

The Z3 is an really nice device. Sad to see that Sony say goodbye to us. I hope customs ROMS can help.
I have Android Nougat 7 Preview 4 running on my Xperia Z3 (and it spontaneously reboots 24 times a day which is a major problem that hopefully the real version will fix). I mean how can they NOT release a real version of Android Nougat?
Well the user base did come together and made Sony change their minds about Xperia M2 and lollipop update... At first it was cut out after which Sony later decided to roll out lollipop for that model...
Sent via Xperia Z3
I think z3 shouldn't use mm or lollipop rom. Because the device will be very hot and it'll make touch screen died. I know someboby have to replace thier touch screen.
Sony cant release N for z3. Google/ Qualcomm removed msm8974 support from aosp N kernel. Sony would have to revert these commits which is the legal issues that the concept Dec was talking my about on g+

This means no device with Snapdragon 800/801 will get N.
That's disappointing considering it was working fine on Dev Preview 3.

I imagine it was a decision by Qualcomm to force people to get new phones so they sell more chips. And I bet we don't see and 801 devices get official N. Only 805 and later

That's mean if kernel sources is out, we can build Android 7 rom without Unlock Bootloader?
recently i read a post on lineage os thread that the developer "Olivier" had has stop development of z3+ 'cause it is no longer his daily driver... and lineage.com does not had the z3+ on his official devices's list. so my question is:
is this the end of development for the z3+?
do we had any chance to get android oreo for this terminal?
thanks in advance for your comments.
sorry for my bad english. xD

I consider it a blessing that we've gotten what we have for this POS. If it weren't for Kuro the Bang and then Olivier, I'm afraid my Z4 would have already suffered a high speed impact with the floor, or wall, or an 18-wheeler in an oncoming lane of traffic(but not nearly as glorious as Jax Teller's exit).
This phone deserves no fanfare, no memorial and no remembrance (Sony will definitely agree with me on that).
I've fantasized about packing it with C-4 and sending it back to Sony (for the record, fantasies should remain just that - fantasies and not realities). I'm stubborn, I usually keep a phone 3 years. So hopefully some time in 2018 I'll replace this one and then use it for target practice.

greaat, we need buy another phone! mine will be motorola C115 )
This phone should had never existed, awful battery SOT, heats like hell, non advantages over other similar phones, crappy camera also speakers.
We got ripped off by Sony on this one

No. I said development has become easier because the Z3+ is no longer my daily driver - I can now test/flash highly experimental builds anytime.

September ended
Yes, he's died.
I've got this feeling, after the sad goodbye of dear @pappschumpfl, that development support for this beloved and wonderful device is weaning and slowly but surely disappearing. Checking the development section for other xiaomi devices like redmi note 4 or mi6 you can see a lot more movement, discussion and activity.
Anyway, just makes me sad this feeling and I believe it is not only a feeling... With the coming of Mix 2 it will probably get worse. Or maybe with the Mix getting cheaper it will change for the better in the future? What are your thoughts on this people?
There is of course AICP and those guys work is fantastic! But they are mostly alone right now...
Im pretty sure he meant that its his final Nougat rom, as everyone building roms for any device has now moved on to Oreo, so Im guessing we will see more updates once the Oreo roms have been figured out...
As you can see there are a fair amount of roms for the Mi Mix.......

Well none of them are maintaining their builds except for BitO, who's given us Multirom and a fantastic Kernel :victory:
As for Papps he got a Note 8 and I have no idea if he's gona be building an Oreo rom for lithium. He doesn't have to of course.
Anyway, maybe you are right

I think this was inevitable with the Mix being a niche device.
I hope we get Oreo eventually, but at least we have some ROMs that are stable.
Final RR is pretty damn good.
Mix was a high end device, high priced device and now it's an outdated device... basically a standard life for a chinese phone on XDA like this one... exemple is based on large sell device, redmi/mi5/mi6... not the same as ur Mix...
Sadly, i think like u... device will go to trash silently...
Also, around the forums we've seen various devs state that we'll see O
IMO, it would be OK just seeing security patches for what we already have.
I have a Nexus 6P and whilst us enthusiasts want the latest and greatest, honestly there isn't anything worth getting too excited about.
I think it will be maintained for awhile, the sort of people who bought the mix are the ones who like to mess and build ROMs (hoping), only time will tell. Let's face it there is nothing worth buying over this at the moment.
but of course, you can also learn how to build roms, etc.

This is a very good point.
For beginners, here is a step by step for LOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lithium/build
Its not out dated and won't be for a while yet - it is odd and requires an interest in making roms. I am sure there will be development for the roms, people are so down these days.

And like already mentioned, no point building anymore nougat ROMs and no Oreo build's
Oreo will come in time - people really need to learn to be more patient. It has some very good nougat roms already.
Every 15 days aprox you have a new updated build here https://download.lineageos.org/lithium
Lineage OS oficial is running for lithium.
I don't understand the tittle of the post.
Worst comes to worst Lineage will be released for our Mixs. If it comes down to it, I'll start developing a Rom.

Doesn't work using the cm-15 branch so far... Or I couldn't make it work anyway. Problem is in Mix sources though, not LOS source...
I think Paps might come back. I went to Note 8 but will be back on a new Mix tomorrow. Missing that beautiful 3 side non existent bezel.
I wrote this OP over two months ago and in this time, luckily Papps hasn't abandoned us completely (thanks!) and BitObsession has been providing awesome work and support, several builds, Multitom and a fantastic kernel (thanks!!!). Also AOSiP came and is being maintained I think, so good enough maybe. The guys behind AICP keep also their work (thanks too!).
What seems still so far away that it seems to me we might not see it is Oreo... Anybody with info on wether the good guys at Lineage are working on Oreo for Lithium??
It's of course ok if dev support stays as it is, and developers do what they want with their devices, but it would surely be nice to see our Mix being upgraded to the latest Android as the flagship it is.
Thanks everybody.
