there are deadly bugs,
1: the screen brightness is the highest by default, the adjustment is invalid, I am sure the light sensor is good
2: the camera is broken, I think it is not Affect my use,
thank you, the project treble brought by the guys, now the eyes are not very good, can let me know that the library, causing screen brightness problems, I will repair it
Let's give this thread a bit of momentum, a bug reports thread can only be good.
- on my hono9 freeform window mode causes the phone to instantly crash and reboot when you try to enable it.

Are you using the stick camera on the ROM, GCam(which is broken) or have you installed the stock camera from your original factory OS.
Either way, just use open camera, I've had no problems with it, and given the hardware in the honor 9, I'd expect open camera to give errors, which it doesnt, just can't use dual lens

So i finally gave cm 12.1 a chance because it's been rolling for a while now... and i was actually pretty impressed. The one issue i couldn't deal with is the bluetooth audio playback in my car. Basically it was playing too fast, then pausing every 10-20 seconds and then continuing to play too fast again (also at a slightly higher pitch). I was able to temporarily fix the problem by turning bluetooth off and on but it came back. other than this i didn't see many issues and thought it was pretty good, but for no i'm going to go back to stock until this issue is fixed, i did find that it was already reported to the cyanogenmod team and they are already working on a fix so i'm waiting impatiently until it's fixed and i'll probably be moving from stock kitkat as my main rom to cm 12.1. How has everyone elses experience been with cm 12.1 nightlies so far?
What doesn't work. (if i missed something here post so i can update)
- saving 4k video (1080p works tho)
Battery life ?
- used to be terrible but it's almost as good as stock now but with better performance.
hey
i would like to use CM as i was doing that on my Moto G. the questions I have to users of the newest CM version:
- does quickcircle, google text-to-speech, intelligent screen (LG app) features work?
- what is the quality of videos and pictures taken by the phone running CM opposite to android v20i?
thank you.

1. Quickcircle won't work. To make it work again you have to install a special app. Google text-to-speech works ok for me (I haven't test it too much). LG features/apps won't work
2.For me the quality of pics and videos are the worst I have ever seen!!!! (Much better in the stock LG)
My experience with CM12.1 was average. I was waiting for something better. Camera is awful in the Custom roms. Battery life wasn't the best. In terms of performance the cm12.1 is better than the stock lg.
i've only been running cm 12.1 for a few days now so i don't have alot of substantive input, i did find a fix for the bad bluetooth car audio using a macro/tasker app but i think they have fixed it in the nightly released today, i'm downloading it now it says bluetooth stream parameters in the patch notes so i wont bother sharing my fix until i try this nightly to see if they already fixed it. i'll give a better review of whats working and the camera/video quality after i have a chance to play around with it more.
by the way anything running ART instead of DALVIK cache/runtime is going to perform better but it's at the price of xposed modules and such, i'm not expert on it but i know they switched to ART cache/runtime to be more competitive with the iphone. On Kitkat and lower an android device needs better hardware to output the same performance as an iphone with lesser hardware. ART should fix that problem. If you are curious google ART vs DALVIK
*edit* yeah bluetooth is fixed with the newest nightly update... atleast for my car which is a mazda 3. (yay)

Videos do save. It is a issue with 4K video ONLY. Switch to 1080p video and videos save just fine.

I found that myselfe, tnx. But I believe that issue is fixed already. Maybe Im wrong, but I did see in changelog or other forum. Maybe someone can test it?
I switched to stock kitkat, I love CM, been running CM since it was 10.1, the problem is that it starts really really fast and after a while CM 12.1 becomes laggy it drives me crazy, other than that is the camera quality which doesn't bothers me as the performance issue,
I guess we'll need to wait for LG to release the G3 source file but who know's when that's gonna happend
good news the latest daily added some balancing between power and battery life. I went from losing a huge chunk of my battery during work when my phone is in my pocket to going 9.5 hours at work and coming home with 94% battery. (that is alot of standby but i use my phone at lunch and have bluetooth running for about 50 minutes of driving). Basically it got alot better, i'm not sure what they did but i did notice that there is a balanced setting in battery screen that i didn't notice before. Anyways I think those who were concerned about battery drain my have had their wishes answered over the last few nightlies.

Phone encryption not working?
I've just flashed the 20150603 CM12.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone encrypted. On the reboot to start the encryption, the phone gets stuck in the CM boot animation and the encryption process never starts. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
I'm on 06/05 nigthly. When I plug the phone in my computer, it's not being recognized. If I change from MTP to PTP, then it works.
I've tried going to Device Manager, and could see that my phone is being recognized as a Nexus device. I tried installing latest drivers from Google's website, but I got a message saying that I'm already on the latest version. So that didn't do anything. I've tried uninstalling that "nexus" driver and rebooting my PC, but it somehow came back when I plugged my phone in. Trying to update gave me the same message.
If I run "adb devices", I can see that there's no devices (it's enabled in developer settings). If I enable ADB over WiFi and try to connect -- it works, and I can do whatever I want. But only over WiFi and not via USB.
Tried different cable and different port as well.
Hello, I'm searching a rom based on android 7.x, i've tried rr 5.8.3 but i had the fp problem and battery drain, all other roms 7 have fp problem. I want a good rom with no battery drain and fp working. if there isn't one ,link me a good rom 6.0
On next day should be released miui 9 dev for our device. Keep an eye on this thread https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
Any update?
I can't say for sure about FP since all the recent Nougat roms have worked fine for me regarding FP.
I would recommend LOS from 28/8 for the battery alone. It's pretty close to MIUI:

My initial tests with LOS 28/8 were great, but there is a bug with the stock camera app. When recording video at night the recording is very dark and has some artifacts. I was able to get around this using Bacon Camera (Open Camera and Footej Camera also work). Other than that I haven't noticed any bug except for compass being out of whack, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
No reason to be scared though, if you backup in TWRP you can always roll back.

Both fixes are bootimages, so they cannot be installed together. I guess the later fix (brightness) already contains the charging notification fix.
I think I have a good Lineage build based on other guys' sources. I'm testing it for a couple of weeks - no reboots, all the bugs seem to be fixed, battery lasts for about 2 days for me. Drop me a message if interested - if there will be a decent demand, I'll publish my build... and may be ResurrectionRemix.
I've been using an Arnova GCAM port that has been great and haven't updated my phone to Pie, but suddenly as of today I can't focus on anything more than about a meter away. I haven't done anything to the software or OS recently but I dropped the phone a few days ago and wonder if I've damaged the camera - would that explain the issue? Switching back to the stock cam doesn't help unless I switch it to portrait mode - that allows better focus at 3 meters or so, which is not good in regular mode. I tried a few different Arnova versions tonight with no improvement. Any suggestions?
The output from Camera2 probe shows the following:
Hardware Level Support Category
√ Level 3
X Full
X Limited
X Legacy
(all ticked in Exposure)
Focus
√ Manual focus
√ Auto focus
√ Auto focus macro
√ Auto focus continuous picture
√ Auto focus continuous video
X Auto focus EDOF
Maybe try to switch to manual mode in stock camera app and then try to adjust focus (from micro to infinity)

I tried that, and over the whole range it only focussed really close (10 - 15 cm away) and the focus didn't change when I moved the slider across; even when focus was set at infinity, only an object close to the camera was sharp. I guess that's a hardware issue then - any ideas?
Did your camera glass broken?

I dont know, it is possible that when you droped it, you jamed auto focus mechanism. Try to factory reset and if even that does not work, take it to service center
After watching quite a few videos on this, I used the technique of tapping/knocking around the camera module to try to loosen up a stuck motor. Eventually this worked! Dropping the camera must have caused something to get stuck, and the tapping allowed that to un-stick.

Nice to read that you have resolved your camera issues.
I reckon your device is still on Oreo and Gcam is still working fine like it always does.
Avoid upgrading your device to pie 9 which is simply atrocious/horrible/buggy.

Hello,
I am getting my z3 compact tomorrow. I would like some input from existing users about the phone:
1) which official rom will give me the best user experience, meaning best camera, snappiness, the least problems/bugs. I usualy prefer the rom that the phone was shipped with, so is there a reason to go to newer rom, meaning better battery life, bug fixes, better camera ?
2) as i know camera on this phone is horrible, what do i need to know to get at least mediocre performance out of it ? Do u suggest superior auto or manual ?
3) anything else i need to know ? I will mostly use it for calls, camera, occasionaly google maps and music, almost never for webpage browsing or videos, never for games
1) I use the official .291 ROM with MM
2) Use the Cyberian camera mod and Manual mode
3) There is the common touch screen issues and issues with 3.5jack
1) i have it at 6.0.1 right now. I would rather remain at stock since i dont wanna mess up camera keys and add more bugs.
2) do i have to root phone for this cyberian camera ? Could you quickly explain what gains i get with it over default camera ?
3) i didnt get touchscreen issues, didnt test 3.5 jack yet. The only problem i had so far was that when i wanted to take a photo and before taking it, i was moving phone very quickly and suddenly i got artifacts and screen tearing on screen. 1 thing to note is that phone was quite warm at the moment because i was bulk installing apps. After that i wasnt able to replicate the problem again. I hope it was momentary thing and that phone will work ok
Btw phone is updated to last rom and factory reset (actualy factory reset 2 times in a row). And there is a wierd thing. When i connect to my computer, i want to be able to access my pictures right away. But instead i have to click mtp mode on screen of mobile phone. I went to connectivity and basicly i have no option there to change default connectivity mode - the only thing there is option to automaticly install software when connected to pc. Is there a way to change things so that when i connect the phone to pc, i dont have to press anything and be able to access pictures right away
No one using this phone anymore ?

i'm still sticking with z3c, but i'm a noob, probably not the best person to answer your question.
i have never tried official stock 6.0.1, i tried slimm 6.0.1 and existenz 6.0.1 but the battery life is disappointing.
at the moment i'm going back to official stock 5.1.1 with cyberian camera.
i think u need to root, (after root, CLEAR DATA "Camera","Camera Common" & "Video" and then flash cyberian camera via recovery)
i never had ur screen tearing issue.
Miui 7, Androplus Kernel v32' and living normally...
z3c my emergency mobile..existenz rom. is a pseudocustom that preserves all the functionality Z series, ant +, mirrorlink 1: 1, etc. mobile 10, comfortable, beautiful, well built, much better than the later z5c. I have had 2 z3c and 2 z5c and the z3c is much more device. I have had the bad luck to always have devices with the bootloader closed(prototype) and not be able to enjoy them 100%, but existenz is very good rom for daily use

Don't worry about that, it's normal. It was one of the "great" and new features in android MM. Every device which runs stock, or nearly stock android MM will do the same when connected to a PC. So seriously, no worries, it's okay, you'll always need to select MTP.
Btw touch focus doesnt work in camera. I click on a spot but it does nothing. I would really love to have option to focus to my liking before taking a picture. And i dont want to use dedicated camera button

You're in Manual Mode? There's no Touch Focus option in Superior Auto.
There are lots of used Z3 Compact ads for sale with the touch not working.
I'm using omnirom 8.1 and z3c.
The touchscreen-issue is very common on this phone indeed. I exchanged my touchscreen of my 3-year-old Z3C by myself and if you have some suiteable tools, a calm hand and a bit of time, the process is possible for an average-experienced user. There are lots of Youtube-Videos as well. My girlfriend had a Z3C as well and the touchscreen of this phone was broken too. Seems like planned obsolescence?
Carbon Rom Oreo. It's always been my go to rom when I cannot find a smooth and fluid rom, or when the rom doesn't support the device's specific features , such as the z3c's camera button. I've used the rom on the z3c for all of 2 days so far and I'm continually amazed at how the devs have managed to create such a polished experience.

1. Stock Rom 6.0.1, Lollipop 5.1.1 is more smooth and not heating
2. Use cyberian mod, using manual mode had more good image than superior auto but you must set the manual settings first

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure whether only I experience this issue, since I did see another user experiencing the same problem -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80259801&postcount=163
On a custom ROM - whenever I use the front camera, and then change a mode (for example, open the front camera in photo mode, then move over to video) - the camera tries to open again, and there's an audible grinding sound coming from inside the phone. Same thing happens when I enter Instagram photo mode and close it right away - the camera opens half way, then tries to close beyond what it can, grinding noises ensue.
This did not happen on MIUI (global, 10.3.11.0), only on the custom ROMs I tried (Lineage, Pixel Experience)
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any idea how to fix it? I'm worried it might damage the phone...
at the moment there is no way to fix it. Avoid changing modes with extended front camera. Always switch to rear, then change camera modes and switch back to front camera. Its happening on all custom roms. The camera motor should be able to handle this kind of abuse but I wouldn't want to risk it, so if you feel unable to avoid triggering it, you should go back to MIUI.
the problem is also known and was fixed in the rr image with the gcam, see changelog from 20-08-2019
I do not say if the fix was shared in other images

Unfortunally that is on K20 Pro. We can't just reuse their fixes because their implementation is different from the one on davinci. Also they reuse MIUI vendor for their roms while we use a custom vendor, which makes porting stuff over even harder. davinci trees actually have the commit.
here is the commit that fixed it for rr:
https://github.com/TheMarionette/de...mmit/3dabb66ef3ea5716368098608bfb3521f2cf73b0

unfortunally that did not fix it for our device.
