STEP 1 - Push the .zip file to your /sdcard partition. Boot into recovery and flash it. Make sure to do a full backup first. If you want to go back to a non CM12 ROM please flash a CWM recovery featured boot.img as the CM12 recovery is not exactly functional.

Just a suggestion, maybe you can have a look at krabappel's build, he has got system.ui working

Yep but that's AOSP and not CM12. I also have AOSP with a functioning systemui as well as a working modem.

@ Untouchab1e

Thank you very much for your work! I really appreciate that. I can't wait to have a fully working version!

 

[Griffiths_Anna]

owh my goodness, I've been waiting for a long time. thank you Mr untouchable.. I'm speechless. I can't wait to see cm12 running on my z3..

I have fixed system ui issues by adb pushing SystemUI.apk from my latest 5.0.1 r2 lollipop aosp build - so I presume any aosp lollipop systemui apk will fix it. (all crashes gone - screen off charging now as I type)

Maybe this is a quick and dirty fix for your builds @Untouchab1e?

After pushing modem files, mba files and ril libs to fxp build my cellular connected up - meaning wifi, radio and SystemUI incl Screen Off/On all working :good: more details posted over in fxp cm12 thread

Cool, wifi works too? Thought the bcmdhd wifi hal was broken for all bcm devices. Nice.

Yup, wifi seemed rock solid - 3G/LTE was totally on the fritz tho .. But, getting closer gents!

hey guys follow ibuzman's solution most of the functions work except one flawed the security under settings is inaccessible

 

[iBuzman]

yeah I have that too..

I used adb install to get around not having unknown sources checked.

 

[Untouchab1e]

That is due to the AOSP systemui.apk I believe. The reason for the systemui issue in the first place is that the keyguard doesnt connect with the service and hence security settings wont work because the keys cant be handled.

 

[Griffiths_Anna]

I'll definitely root my z3 if this Rom works and can be used for day to day use..

 

[gallardo5]

Hi. I cant download the rom as link seems dead. And thats why im asking, does the sound work with this rom? I flashed cm12 from fxp thread and it doesnt, so I was jist curious, and I will flash it straight away if sound works

Link updated.

Link updated.

Flashrd, for now most of things working, except camera and mobile data bluetooth is not very stable as it has problems with connecting, but once connected (after few tries) its fine
Just to make everything clean, maybe some of issues are my fault because I fkashed something that I should not i fully wiped and flashed your rom, then cm12 gapps from here ( https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps ) and them modem.zip from this thread.

Edit: after some time with it (I will probably leave it as daily driver until it gets on my nerves enough ) I found few other issues:
Some apps have compability issues (e.g. xda loads, xperia z3 forum is still fine but when I go to subforum like advanced development, play store services crashes, and so does xda app. Everything loads in the background, I can see zverything behind the xxx has crashed message, but as soon as I press ok, it quits. Another one is facebook messenger, it is fine when browsing through conversation, but when I try to open one conversation, be it in app or from those small heads, it crashes).
Another issue is youtube (advertisements of course work, but the video I wanted to watch does not, it says "cant connect, press to try again")
Another issue is that every time I try to uninstall or clear data from any app, the phone does a soft reboot (shows bootanimatoon immediately)
The last issue I found is that bluetooth connects to my bluetooth headset, but sound stops working, just like in fxp CM, it just stays at 0:00 no matter what track I try to play.
Others issues are known, like camera or mobile data signal drops entirely for few seconds from time to time but I think it is also known.
I will keep testing it as for now it is workibg enough to be my daily driver so will keep it updated with anything that I find

Found another thing, but I wont really call it an issue and it made me laugh a bit. No matter how full your battery is, phone just keeps saying its low. Battery life is fine, but notification comes after few seconds of cleaning it, and it comes every time. Right now the notification says " battery is low! Battery level : 82%" but lets just call it a laughable feature

 

[Untouchab1e]

@gallardo5 thanks for your detailed feedback. Ive build and uploaded a new build. It would be great if you could check it out and see if there are any changes or improvements. I havent done any huge modifications. But I have been tweaking around with vendor libs and the device configuration and of course, updated CM12 sources which at this point can have a significant impact on functionality.

Thank you. I really appreciate everyone's effort to make this work! I am sure we will get CM12 running well together
