Hey, did you have bug with camera, like fish eye :confused:
The bug is there for everyone. Once the camera drivers for our device is released by Sony, this issue will be fixed and all aosp/cm rom threads will be screaminh with an announcement that camera has been fixed. Don't worry, you won't miss out on that announcement.

Rom works well, using it as a daily driver. Thanks for sharing.

I noticed an annoying bug... it occurs when the open with dialog comes up that allows you to choose output application, or to record an app as the default. When that dialog comes up, it is underneath the nav keys, which makes it impossible to select the two options always and just once.

Hello again,

I have a very special problem now ;)
I own a "prototype" of the Z3 (no, don't ask where it is from, it just found the way to me).
The device ro.build.device string is "leo" for my device.
So the updater script in the zip gives me an assertion (see screenshot)


Can you please update the "updater-script", so the it also checks for "leo" as well?

I tried it on my own, but there was still a problem...I am too tired right now to watch over the logs, maybe tomorrow.

So good night for now

I also get the updating binary error while flashing. What can i do?
"Replacing updater-script
When you download ROM's, you must change updater-script. You can do this in android or in windows.
Open ROM.zip go to \META-INF\com\google\android and replace updater-script with mine."

Advice: Remove the entire assert line. Rezip and flash. That's what i did and it worked.

So I tried that and it gave me the same error. I then tried changing the updater script and changed the asset parts from 6602 to leo and it seemed to have worked. But when I tried to reboot it's just a black screen and now I can only boot into fastboot or bootloader mode. Any suggestions?

Flashtool allowed me to return to stock but I still can't get paranoid to flash properly.

Oi, after messing around with this all day I finally got it to work.

I used the instructions from jdenman03 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58610888&postcount=184
I also couldn't get it to work from stock 4.4 and needed to flash stock rooted 5.1 first.

I first had to change the updater-script, I changed the 2 instances of 6602 to leo. Then using ES file commander extracted and flashed the boot.img using rashr. Then reboot to recovery and flashed paranoid successfully.

edit:
so it apparently took away root and now I can't root it unless reverting. what to do?

The Z3 is also supported.

The reason they are blank is because they will have a staggered release over the next 2 weeks.

I have been advised the Z3 will indeed be released within 7 days.
What's your source man?

When do you think Sony will release the Camera Drivers?

Can we safely assume this rom will have the fish eye camera issue just like any UB rom ??
By reading this thread, more or less everyone who's tried it has confirmed it has a fish eye bug (Reasoning is above this)

The rom isn't out yet.. We don't know if it has the fish eye bug. Just wait.
Oh, and Sony will likely not release it anytime soon. If they had allowed us to run AOSP, they would have done sooner. So let's hope PA fixes it.
