Rom is outdated and not supported anymore. Try lineage os.


Thank you for your replies. My issue is that I don't want to upgrade to Nougat until Xposed is available on it. Therefore Im trying to find a Marshmallow or even Lollipop build for the Z5C that I can use as a daily.

Are the only issues with this ROM the camera and video ones as stated below:

Laggy back camera
Video Recording on stock camera app (Use alternative)

Does everything else work apart from these 2 issues? And will I be able to solve the issue of laggy back camera by using a third party camera app as well?

TIA

There are a few things that are not working. I.e. Fingerprint reader, fmradio and voice calls over bluetooth. I don't remember all of them. And there is an echo on the other caller side.
Yesterday I've built a new version. No improvements, but the security patch level is july 1st 2017!
I've taken a picture with the "stock" camera app. Here it is...

Here is my latest version of this rom for those who don't like nougat and/or want to use the XPosed framework which is not working very good on nougat based rom's... (i.e. XPrivacy is NOT working at all!)

No improvements, but the android security patch level is 1 october 2017.

The rom is rooted (see attached picture). No need to flash SuperSU or any other superuser app.

Here you can see a list of changes since the past four months. (The file is too big to include it here directly)

    CyanogenMod 13 for the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 and E5803​

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    Before you start

    This ROM is only for the E5823 and the E5803

    Code:
     *
     * Your warranty may be voided !
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     *

    How to install CM 13

    • Download the Z5C AndroPlusKernel v31 by @AndroPlus from his official website (Scroll down and select Z5 compact, then chose Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v31.zip and download it)
    • Extract the Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v31.zip
    • Download our TWRP 3.0.0.0 build for the Z5 Compact (Special thanks to @moonbutt74 for getting the configs right)
    • Download the appropriate gapps from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
    • Download the CM 13 Zip for the Z5 Compact from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
    • Move the GAPPS zip and the CM 13 to your Z5 Compact if you haven't downloaded them on your device
    • Power Off your Z5 Compact and wait about 10-15 seconds to make sure it's off
    • To enter fastboot hold VOL UP and while holding VOL UP connect your device to your pc via cable
    • When the notification light has turned blue you have entered fastboot mode
    • On your PC flash the boot.img that has been extracted from the Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v31.zip using fastboot
    • Now flash the twrp-3.0.0.0 image by using fastboot
    • Once both of those images have been flashed you can exit fastboot
    • After exiting fastboot wait for the notification light to turn cyan (it says cyan if you can't read it) at the Sony logo
    • Once it has turned cyan (it says yellow if you can't read it), you will enter TWRP by pressing VOL UP or VOL DOWN
    • If you've missed the step above, reboot your device and try the step above again
    • If TWRP will ask you to enable read and write, swipe to continue

    • Now ONLY tick Dalvik/ART cache, System, Cache and Data
    • WARNING! THE NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA, MEANING YOU WILL DELETE YOUR STOCK SONY SYSTEM AND ALL YOUR APPS (But not your photos, music or everything else located in internal storage)

    • Enjoy CM13 ;)
    • OPTIONAL: You can remove your TWRP backup that is located in the TWRP folder if you feel like you will no longer need it

    How to ROOT

    • In CM 13, enable and enter the developer options
    • Select Root access
    • Select Apps Only (Or Apps and ADB if you use ADB)

    Ok before you guys think I'm dead, I'm not. I've just been busy like always. I've spend the majority of free time on C++ practice and turns out debian got corrupted, so I'm finally here again with Arch (Ima post a screenshot of my new flashy high-tek hacker desktop soon). Now this doesn't mean I'll just Straight into Z5C development. I've got some work to do with my Galaxy tab s2 and now that my friends Xperia X arrived (cool phone guys, gj sony), i'll get my S5 mini back and will run some Security patch updates for CM. Then we can start talking about the Z5C again. The next issue will be keeping track of Upstream again :/

    Okay, i'm gonna give you a sneak peak on what you can expect in the next release

    - Full brightness
    - Double Tap 2 Wake
    - USB gadgets support
    - Better core performance

    The reason why I haven't released it yet is due to a small misunderstanding about Sony's sensor related commits, meaning i've accidentally disabled the sensors. Tough a new build is coming today so no panic
